I have been wondering the same, myself. Most websites and publications on the subject seem to point to "no." Most chemosynthetic organisms seem to be only prokaryotes (single cell bacteria w/o nuclei) and apparently some organisms from the Archae kingdom. Most live in hydrothermal vents where they convert Hydrogen Sulfide and CO2 (all of which originates deep in the crust of these vents) into carbohydrates with sulfur as a biproduct.
The Plantae kingdom is a kingdom of multicellular organisms, of which the vast majority are all green plants, and all green plants use photosynthesis to create carbohydrates from the Sun and CO2. They are very similar in the sense that both catergories are autotrophs, but the defining factor seems to be where the ultimate source of food in the different food chains originates: the Sun or geological forces deep inside the Earth.

What are the two methods producers use to make their own energy rich molecules?
Respiration and fermentation which make up photosynthesis.
What do photosynthesis and chemosynthesis have that are different?
chemosynthesis is the process by which an organism forms carbohydrates using chemicals rather than light, as an energy source and photosynthesis is the process in green plants and certain other organisms by which carbohydrates are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water using light as energy source.
Is a potato autotroph or heterotroph?
A potato is a plant and all plants are producers. Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food from the substances available in their surroundings using light (photosynthesis) or chemical energy (chemosynthesis). Plants are called both autotrophs and producers.
What is chemosynthesis and how is it different from photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis use energy of light. Chemosynthesis use energy of chemicals
What is the difference between photosynthesis and chemosynthesis?
The difference between the two is that chemosynthesis uses chemicals for Energy instead of the light Energy, or sunlight, as used in photosynthesis.The difference between the two is that chemosynthesis uses chemicals instead of light energy like photosynthesis.
What obtains its energy from photosynthesis or chemosynthesis?
Plants or autotrophs obtain their energy from photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. This is because they are the producers of the environment.
What plants use chemosynthesis in Madagascar?
the plants that live in Madagascar are plants if you want the answer you have to go look it up at www.google.comHAVE FUN
Why does a green plant develop more chlorophyll from shade then from direct sunlight?
Some plants make their own food through a different process called chemosynthesis. Through this process they use chemical compounds in the ground and/or other places to covert them into energy and make food. The plants get chlorophyll through photosynthesis and chemosynthesis.

What organisms makes it own food?
producers like plants
What kind of plants live in the abyss?
there are plants in the abyss and they dont need photosynthesis because they use chemosynthesis chemicals that come from black smokers to create food stupid
Why can bacteria live at the bottom f the ocean where is no sunlight?
because they use chemosynthesis to survive instead of photosynthesis like plants.
What are the two methods producers use to make their own energy rich molecules?
Respiration and fermentation which make up photosynthesis.
What do autotrophs include?
Autotrophs include plants, plantlike protists, cyanobacteria, and bacteria capable of making their own food through chemosynthesis.
What type of organisms perform chemosynthesis?
Bacterias, Eubacterias, and extremophiles.
What does chemosynthesis get its energy from?
chemosynthesis takes chemicals from the environment and uses it to synthesise energy
What is the source of energy is used chemosynthesis?
The source of energy that is used in chemosynthesis is the chemicals.
When was the process of chemosynthesis discovered?
The process of chemosynthesis was discovered in 1890 by Sergei Nikolaevich Vinogradski.
