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: -Instead of photosynthesis, these organisms use chemosynthesis, the process of creating sugars (food) using energy released from chemical reactions.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
