Organisms that live in deep-sea hydrothermal vents are an exception as they derive energy from chemical reactions in the absence of sunlight. These organisms, like certain types of bacteria and archaea, use a process called chemosynthesis to convert minerals and chemicals in the vent water into energy for survival.
