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 is chemosynthesis and how is it different from photosynthesis?

Chemosynthesis is the process by which organisms use chemical energy to produce food. This is different from photosynthesis, which is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose for energy. Chemosynthesis does not require sunlight and can occur in environments where light is not available, such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents.


Organism that can make its own food using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis?

Plants, algae, and some bacteria are organisms that can make their own food using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and some other organisms use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. Chemosynthesis is a process used by certain bacteria to convert chemicals into energy in the absence of sunlight.


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 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.

What obtains its energy from photosynthesis or chemosynthesis?

Plants, algae, and some bacteria obtain their energy from photosynthesis, while certain bacteria and archaea species obtain their energy from chemosynthesis. Photosynthesis converts sunlight into energy, while chemosynthesis uses inorganic compounds as a source of energy.

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.
