SSC MTS EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use the sun’s energy to make sugar (glucose) for food. Plants absorb energy from sunlight, take in carbon dioxide from the air through their leaves, take up water through their roots, and produce glucose and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Glucose is made in both, but chemosynthesis uses inorganic compounds to make the glucose and the is no sunlight, whereas photosynthesis uses organic compounds and the sun to do the reaction .

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthetic organisms produce oxygen as a byproduct. Organisms that use chemosynthesis make food energy by using inorganic chemicals and inorganic carbon molecules from their environment. Organisms that use chemosynthesis produce sulfur and sulfur compounds as a byproduct.
