Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis and chemosynthesis are both processes by which organisms produce food; photosynthesis is powered by sunlight while chemosynthesis runs on chemical energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -During chemosynthesis, bacteria living on the sea floor or within animals use energy stored in the chemical bonds of hydrogen sulfide and methane to make glucose from water and carbon dioxide (dissolved in sea water).

Detailed explanation-3: -Chemosynthesis is the synthesis of organic compounds by bacteria or other living organisms using energy derived from reactions involving inorganic chemicals, typically in the absence of sunlight.

Detailed explanation-4: -The difference between organisms that use chemosynthesis and organisms that use photosynthesis is that photosynthetic organisms need sunlight to make food energy. Organisms that use chemosynthesis do not require sunlight to make food energy, but they need inorganic chemicals from their environment.

Detailed explanation-5: -Photosynthesis and chemosynthesis are both responsible for producing organic molecules from inorganic compounds like carbon dioxide and water or hydrogen sulphide. They both produce gases as by-products from the reactions such as oxygen or sulphur gases. They both produce glucose as food.
