Chemosynthesis:
- Chemosynthesis is the process in which bacteria make food with chemical energy.
- In this process, one or more carbon molecules are converted into organic matter.
- In this process, the chemical energy of compounds like carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide react to oxygen, producing the carbohydrates needed by the organism and other compounds as a byproduct.
- The chemical equation for chemosynthesis involving hydrogen sulphide are:
