Here's a breakdown:

* Chemo: They obtain energy from chemical compounds (not sunlight like phototrophs).

* Hetero: They obtain carbon from organic sources, meaning carbon compounds that are derived from living organisms.

Examples of organic carbon sources for chemoheterotrophs include:

* Sugars: Glucose, fructose, lactose

* Proteins: Amino acids, peptides

* Fats: Lipids, fatty acids

* Complex carbohydrates: Starch, cellulose

Essentially, chemoheterotrophs break down these organic molecules to access the carbon atoms they need for building their own cellular components and for energy production.

Examples of chemoheterotrophs:

* Humans: We eat plants and animals to obtain organic carbon.

* Animals: They eat plants or other animals.

* Fungi: They decompose dead organisms for their carbon source.

* Bacteria: Many bacteria are chemoheterotrophs, consuming organic molecules in various environments.
