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 chemical equation for chemosynthesis is 18H2S + 6CO2 + 3O2 → C6H12O6 (carbohydrate) + 12H2O + 18S.
Detailed explanation-3: -The source of energy for chemosynthesis is energy liberated from a chemical reaction (the oxidation of an inorganic substance) rather than energy harvested from sunlight or other light.
