    The document refutes the claim that all living organisms eat pizza for energy by providing two examples of organisms that get their energy from other sources. Iron bacteria get energy from oxidizing iron when it mixes with oxygen, while giant African land snails get energy from eating fruit, decaying plants, bones, stones, and vegetables. The conclusion is that not all living organisms eat pizza for energy.

    Characteristics of Living Organisms Extra Credit

    Claim:
    All living organisms . Eat pizza for energy.

    Evidence this claim is wrong:


    1. Iron bacteria (Thiobacillus ferrooxidans) are a species of bacteria that
    get their energy from iron. These bacteria can be found in drinking
    wells, around water pipes, and other water sources. These bacteria get
    their energy by oxidizing iron, which means electrons are released
    when iron mixes with oxygen.

    2. The Giant African Land Snail (Achatina fulica) are a species of snails
    that get their energy from eating fruit, decaying plants, bones from
    animal carcasses, stones, and vegetables.
    Conclusion:
    All living organisms DO NOT eat pizza for energy.
