Solution

Photosynthesis
Chemosynthesis
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants synthesize their own food using carbon dioxide and water in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.
The process of carbohydrate synthesis, in which the organism uses chemical reactions to obtain energy from inorganic compounds, is called chemosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is powered by sunlight
Chemosynthesis runs on chemical energy.
In photosynthesis water is needed to fuel the process.
In chemosynthesis water is an end result of the process.
Photosynthesis occurs in plants and some bacteria.
Chemosynthesis occurs at the heart of deep-sea communities, sustaining life in absolute darkness, where sunlight does not penetrate.
Photosynthesis is a process that can take place in either a terrestrial or aquatic setting
Chemosynthesis occurs in dark.
