Both chemosynthesis and photosynthesis are processes used to create food.

Photosynthesis is a process plants use to create food (glucose), in which plants convert light energy into chemical energy.

Chemosynthesis is the process by which food (glucose) is made by bacteria using chemicals instead of light energy.

An ecosystem driven by photosynthesis requires sunlight in order to perform photosynthesis. An ecosystem driven by chemosynthesis does not require sunlight. instead, chemosynthesis requires bacteria or other living organisms that derive energy from reactions involving inorganic chemicals.

Photosynthesis is a means of converting light energy to chemical energy. Explain what this statement means.

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain

other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy .

During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured

and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into

oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.

also

During the process of photosynthesis, light penetrates the

cell and passes into the chloroplast. The light energy is

intercepted by chlorophyll molecules on the granal stacks.

Some of the light energy is converted to chemical energy.

During this process, a phosphate is added to a molecule to

cause the formation of ATP(Adenosine triphosphate)

The laparoscopic surgery also denoted to as slightly hostile surgery that defines the enactment of surgical techniques with the help of a video camera and several thin tools while a cholecystectomy may be essential if a person is experiencing aching from gallstones that block the movement of bile. A cholecystectomy is a common surgery and it brings only a small possibility of impediments.
