Solution

Photosynthesis is the biochemical process in which energy from sunlight is converted by plants, algae, and some bacteria into sugars, which are used by the organism as food. Near deep-sea vents, specialized bacteria splits hydrogen sulphide molecules and use this energy for creating energy giving compounds.
