In biochemistry, chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon-containing molecules (usually carbon dioxide or methane) and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic compounds (e.g., hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide) or ferrous ions as a source of energy, rather than sunlight, as in photosynthesis.

2017年4月27日 · Chemosynthesis is the conversion of inorganic carbon-containing compounds into organic matter such as sugars and amino acids. Chemosynthesis uses energy from inorganic chemicals to perform this task.

2023年2月17日 · Chemosynthesis is the process by which specific microorganisms prepare food (glucose) using inorganic substances without sunlight. They rely on the oxidation of sulfur, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and methane for their energy source.

2019年8月17日 · Chemosynthesis is the conversion of carbon compounds and other molecules into organic compounds. In this biochemical reaction, methane or an inorganic compound, such as hydrogen sulfide or hydrogen gas, is oxidized to act as the energy source.

Photosynthesis and chemosynthesis are both processes by which organisms produce food; photosynthesis is powered by sunlight while chemosynthesis runs on chemical energy.

Photosynthesis and chemosynthesis are two different types of autotrophic nutrition. Photosynthesis happens in the presence of sunlight, whereas chemosynthesis does not require sunlight. Let’s look at the other differences between photosynthesis and chemosynthesis.

Chemosynthesis is the process by which food is made by bacteria or other living things using chemicals as the energy source, typically in the absence of sunlight. The majority of life on the planet is based in a food chain which revolves around sunlight.

Chemosynthesis can be defined as the biological production of organic compounds from C-1 compounds and nutrients, using the energy generated by the oxidation of inorganic (e.g., hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide, ammonium) or C-1 organic (e.g., methane, methanol) molecules.

2021年10月29日 · Chemosynthesis is a biosynthesis performed by living organisms. It is through this process that a more complex chemical compound is produced. It often does so by combining simpler chemical entities or precursors.

2023年6月22日 · Chemosynthesis is a process where chemosynthetic bacteria convert inorganic compounds into energy-rich organic compounds. It occurs in environments lacking sunlight. The equation for chemosynthesis is carbon dioxide + water + inorganic compounds → organic compounds + sulphur compounds.
