[Last Name] 3 Chemosynthesis is a type of food production that relies on chemical processes. Chemosynthesis is a chemical process that produces sugar, sulfur, and water from inorganic molecules such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and oxygen. It happens most often in deep-sea habitats where the sun cannot penetrate. Chemosynthetic organisms employ chemicals found on the seabed or in the surrounding environment to produce food. They transform these molecules through a process that produces by-products such as glucose (which the plants utilize for sustenance) and sulfur. Other organisms will then employ the sulfur by-product to start a chemosynthetic process that will produce food. I particularly learned how different organisms specifically get energy and what nutrients are in a subtle way. Also, I specifically learned how nutrients for all intents and purposes go through the environment and what they (for the most part), are used for. Demonstrating that I mostly learned how different organisms definitely get energy and what nutrients are, or so they generally thought.
