Many Hyperthermophiles are Chemolithoautotrophs

Question

Many hyperthermophiles are chemolithoautotrophs.

Accepted Answer

Many hyperthermophiles, which are organisms that thrive at extremely high temperatures, are chemolithoautotrophs, meaning they obtain energy from inorganic compounds and are able to synthesize organic compounds from carbon dioxide. Examples of hyperthermophilic chemolithoautotrophs include certain species of archaea and bacteria that live near deep-sea hydrothermal vents or in geothermally heated environments.
