Chemoautotrophs are cells that create their own energy and biological materials from inorganic chemicals. In nature, “autotrophs” are organisms that don't need to eat because they make their own biological materials and energy. This term comes from the Greek “auto” for “self” and “troph” for “to eat” or “to feed.”
