Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -There are two main stages of photosynthesis: the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.
Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis and chemosynthesis are both processes by which organisms produce food; photosynthesis is powered by sunlight while chemosynthesis runs on chemical energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthetic organisms make sugar (glucose molecules) for later use as food energy. Chemosynthesis occurs in organisms such as some bacteria and archaea.
Detailed explanation-4: -Chemosynthesis (at hydrothermal vents) hydrogen sulfide (H2S), add carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) and produce sugar (CH2O), sulfur (S), and water (H2O): This is one example of a chemosynthetic pathway.
