Chemosynthesis

Chemosynthesis is a process by which organisms produce food without sunlight, using chemical reactions. It occurs in deep-sea environments like hydrothermal vents, where bacteria convert hydrogen sulfide and methane into glucose. This process supports life forms such as tubeworms, which have adapted to thrive in these harsh conditions. While not all organisms rely on chemosynthesis, it is crucial for those in sunless environments.
