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 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.


How do the reactants of photosynthesis differ from the reactants of chemosynthesis?

Both photosynthesis and chemosynthesis are processes by which organisms produce food. The difference between the two are the energies it use. Photosynthesis makes use of solar energy, while chemosynthesis makes use of chemical energy.


What are the two methods producers use to make their own energy rich molecules?

Respiration and fermentation which make up photosynthesis.


Compare and contrast photosynthesis and chemosynthesis?

Chemosynthesis gets its energy from oxidation of inorganic substance, photosynthesis gets its energy from light. Chemosynthesis could occur just about anywhere there are enough suitable chemicals to oxidize [metabolize], while photosynthesis could occur only when there is sufficient light.


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, 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.

How is chemosynthesis like phtosynthesis?

Chemosynthesis and photosynthesis both involve converting energy into organic molecules. However, chemosynthesis uses inorganic compounds as a source of energy, while photosynthesis uses light. Both processes are vital for sustaining life in certain ecosystems.

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.
