Chemoautotrophy is unique to prokaryotes because eukaryotes cannot use inorganic compounds as a chemical energy source. false true

True

Explanation: Like all living things, prokaryotes need energy and carbon. They get energy from inorganic chemical compounds.

Chemoautotrophs are organism that utilizes inorganic molecules to supply energy for the organism, and use carbon dioxide as a carbon source. Chemoautotrophs are mostly prokaryotes that break down hydrogen sulfide and ammonia.

Most Eukaryotes cannot utilize these inorganic molecules as energy source.
