Detailed explanation-1: -Chemosynthesis is the process by which food (glucose) is made by bacteria using chemicals as the energy source, rather than sunlight. Chemosynthesis occurs around hydrothermal vents and methane seeps in the deep sea where sunlight is absent.

Detailed explanation-2: -Places with chemosynthetic organisms, such as hydrothermal vents, can become incredible oases of life in the deep sea. 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-3: -Chemosynthesis occurs in bacteria and other organisms and involves the use of energy released by inorganic chemical reactions to produce food. All chemosynthetic organisms use energy released by chemical reactions to make a sugar, but different species use different pathways.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chemosynthetic bacteria are organisms that use inorganic molecules as an energy source to produce food. There are two types of this bacteria: chemoautotrophs and chemoheterotrophs.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
