definition
noun
In the darkness at these depths, chemosynthesis takes the place of photosynthesis - the trapping of energy in sunlight by plants.
the synthesis of organic compounds by bacteria or other living organisms using energy derived from reactions involving inorganic chemicals, typically in the absence of sunlight.
example
These so-called chemoautotrophs use the stored energy of certain chemicals [usually sulfides such as hydrogen sulfide or iron sulfide (FeS 2)] to drive 'chemosynthesis' .
Ahh, looks like I might have been thinking of 'chemosynthesis' .
It turned out that at the base of the food chain were bacteria that nourished themselves through a process of 'chemosynthesis' .
It turned out that the hydrogen sulphide rising from the sea floor vents produced a process called 'chemosynthesis' ; the basis of the food chain.
In the darkness at these depths, 'chemosynthesis' takes the place of photosynthesis - the trapping of energy in sunlight by plants.
Thus, the base of the deep-sea ecosystem's food chain may comprise both 'chemosynthetic' and, probably in small proportion, photosynthetic bacteria.
It was only when the vent 'chemosynthetic' ecosystems were discovered that the importance of hydrothermal vents was globally acknowledged.
Scientists have identified over 300 species of life, including fish, tubeworms, clams, and 'chemosynthetic' bacteria living around these vents.
However, mussels from different sites sometimes responded differently to the same environment, suggesting stock-related effects also play a role in the spatial variation observed in the physiology of 'chemosynthetic' fauna.
Seep communities are also based on microbial 'chemosynthetic' primary production and share a few species and many genera with hydrothermal vent communities.
