  • Chemosynthesis: How Organisms Create Food Without Sunlight
    Chemosynthesis uses inorganic chemicals to make food.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Photosynthesis uses sunlight as its energy source and converts carbon dioxide and water into sugars (food).

    * Chemosynthesis uses energy from the oxidation of inorganic molecules like hydrogen sulfide, methane, or ammonia to convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds, essentially making food.

    This process is mainly found in deep-sea vents and other environments where sunlight is scarce.
