The word synthesis means to produce or generate something and the word chemo relates to something to chemicals and the term chemosynthesis refers to the production of energy by oxidization of chemicals.Hence the proposition.

Do all plants need direct sunlight to perform photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis needs light to happen, and that usually means sunlight, but it is also possible to grow plants with artificial lighting, which is also a suitable source of energy for photosynthesis.


If you take chemo can you be around your grandchildren that are under one year of age?

While it would be safe for the baby, the grandparent would need to take precautions against contagious diseases. Since babies are notorious germ spreaders (especially those with a lot of contact with other babies such as a daycare setting), people undergoing chemotherapy often avoid too much contact with the little ones. White blood cell counts can drop dramatically during cancer and chemo treatment, leaving patients vulnerable to various contagious illnesses.However, not all chemo treatments or all cancers cause this problem. This is definitely a question for the oncologist.

What are some examples of treatments for cancer?

During Photosynthesis carbon dioxide is used and oxygen is released. In chemo-synthesis oxygen may be used but it releases Sulfur dioxide. Example of chemo-synthesis are sulfur bacteria.


What are the products of chemo-synthesis?

Chemosynthesis is somewhat similar to photosynthesis. Certain organisms use it to produce energy, but they do not need sunlight to do it. They oxidize chemicals that seep up from the earth.

The difference between photosynthetic producers and chemo- synthetic producers?

Chemosynthesis get energy from oxidation of inorganic substance, photosynthesis get energy from light. Chemosynthesis could occur just about anywhere there are enough suitable chemicals to oxidize, photosynthesis could only occur when there is sufficient light.


Where do organisms that use chemo synthesis get their energy from?

Organisms that use chemosynthesis get their energy from the chemical reactions occurring in their environment. These reactions involve the oxidation of inorganic compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide or methane, to produce energy-rich molecules that the organisms can use as a source of energy. This process is similar to photosynthesis, but instead of using sunlight as an energy source, it uses chemicals.

Are chemo synthesizing archaea primary consumers?

Chemo-synthesizing archaea are not primary consumers because they do not consume organic matter produced by other organisms. Instead, they use inorganic compounds to produce energy through chemosynthesis. Primary consumers are organisms that consume producers (plants or algae) as their source of energy.
