chemolithoautotrophic

chemolithoautotrophic
chemoautotrophic This word is derived from three word roots. Chemo, meaning "chemical", litho meaning "stone", and autotrophic meaning "to make ones own food". From there we can make the conclusion that a chemolithoautotrophic organism makes its own food using chemical processes and locally available minerals.
