Microorganisms on earth don't need solar energy. What do they use to synthesize the organic matter they need?
There is something wrong with the sentence "Microorganisms on the earth don't need solar energy".

Microorganisms can be divided into four types: photoautotrophic, photoheterotrophic, chemoautotrophic and chemoheterotrophic.

Among them, chemoautotrophic and Huaneng heterotrophic do not need sunlight, and they use organic and inorganic substances to synthesize substances needed in the body.

Photoautotrophic microorganisms: using light, inorganic substances and carbon dioxide;

Representative microorganisms (cyanobacteria, purple sulfur bacteria, green sulfur bacteria, algae)

Photoenergy heterotrophic microorganisms: using light, organic matter, carbon dioxide and simple organic matter;

Representative microorganisms (Rhodosporaceae bacteria, that is, purple sulfur-free bacteria)

Chemotactic autotrophic microorganisms: using inorganic substances and carbon dioxide

Representative microorganisms (nitrifying bacteria, sulfide bacteria, hydrogen bacteria, etc. )

Huaneng heterotrophic microorganism: using organic matter

Most bacteria and all eukaryotes belong to this category.

Above, I hope to help you.
