Answer:

The oxidation of inorganic substances (H2S etc.) serves as the energy source for hydrothermal vents.

Explanation:

Deep hydrothermal vents (the unusual ecosystems) are located in the depths of oceans where sunlight can not penetrate. These ecosystems have the bacteria that oxidize the inorganic substances such as H2S and the released energy is used to fix the CO2 present dissolved in water.  

Here, the inorganic substances such as hydrogen sulfide are released from the volcanic vents present in the ocean floors.

Which of the following correctly identifies the main function of photosynthesis?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: The correct answer is- Converts solar energy to chemical energy.

Photosynthesis is a process of formation of food by green plants and algae using CO₂ and H₂O in the presence of sunlight. In this process, energy from sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll ( green pigment present in the chloroplast) and it is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. This is further utilized in the formation of food that is a carboydrate ( glucose).
