What is the main purpose of chemosynthesis?
A
To make chemicals
B
To make food
C
To make oxygen
D
To make sunlight
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The main product of chemosynthesis is glucose utilized by plants and organisms as food. This is accompanied by water, which has carbon dioxide dissolved in it. One by-product that is produced in this process is sulfur.

Detailed explanation-3: -Organisms that use chemosynthesis use inorganic molecules from the environment to convert carbon into food energy, while organisms that use photosynthesis use sunlight to convert carbon into food energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chemosynthesis is an important process that some organisms use to get energy for the production of food. This process is similar to photosynthesis, but unlike photosynthesis, chemosynthesis does not use sunlight.
