Chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon-containing molecules and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic compounds or methane as a source of energy, rather than sunlight, as in.

Chemo synthesis is a way to create food/energy just like okay photosynthesis. But instead of getting it from the sun, they use the energy released from decomposing leaf litter in sea grass beds and turn carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide into organic carbon. An example of animal that uses chemosynthesis is the deep sea scaled worm.

Chemosynthesis uses energy released from decomposing leaf litter in sea grass beds to turn carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. Chemosynthesis is important because many deep sea organisms utilize this where there is no light. Studies have also shown chemosynthesis plays a role in rivers, lakes, and coastal ecosystem. Without chemosynthesizers the caribbean spiny lobster fishery which creates a large profit every year would rapidly decrease. An example of an organism that uses chemosynthesis to survive is a tubeworm.

Chemosynthesis is bacteria that use an alternative food producing strategy. They use the energy released from decomposing leaf litter in sea grass beds which turns into carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. Chemosynthesis is important because many deep sea organisms use this when there is no light. An organism that uses Chemosynthesis to survive is Lucinid clams.

Chemosynthesis is the process in which bacteria use the energy released from decomposing leaf litter in seagrass beds to turn carbon dioxide into hydrogen sulfide. Another animal that uses Chemosynthesis is the Giant tube worm.

Chemosynthesis is when bacteria turns carbon dioxide into hydrogen sulfide by using the energy released from decomposing leaf litter in seagrass beds. Another animal that uses this is the deep sea scaled worm.

there a chance that the lobster you order for dinner could be traced back to swamp gas.lucinid clams eat symbiotic bacteria

The lobsters that we eat sometimes have this this so called swamp gas that is from small bacteria

Chemosynthesis is a energy released of decomposing leaf litter in sea grass beds to turn carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide.It is important because many deep sea organisms without light.An organism that uses lucinid clams.It it used to survived living in their gills.

Lucinid clams get nourishment from symbiotic bacteria living in their gills. These bacteria use an alternative food-producing strategy. They use the energy released from decomposing leaf litter in sea grass beds. extremophiles.

Lucinid clams get nourishment from symbiotic bacteria living in their gills. Chemosynthesis is an alternative food-producing strategy used by this bacteria. They use the energy released from decomposing leaf litter in sea grass beds to turn carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide into organic carbon. Tube worms use this process to survive.

Lucinid clams get the symbiotic bacteria living in their gills. Chemo synthesis turns bacteria into carbon dioxide which is used instead of sunlight to feed many of the sea life.

Well the chemosynthesis is the process of organic compounds that are using energy from reactions such as inorganic chemicals, an example is the lobsters we eat at Red Lobster.

During my reading I concluded that the term chemosynthesis is the process in which glucose is produced from carbon dioxide and water using chemical nutrients rather than the sunlight used in photosynthesis.its important because its like the sun it creates energy underwater for all. Deep sea creatures like the scale worm have learned to adapt to this type of environment deep in the seas.

A chemosynthesis is the bacteria by organic compounds and living organisms that are from reactions with inorganic chemicals that use energy. Another organism that uses chemosynthesis to survive is animals.

Chemosynthesis is the creation of carbon from energy released from sea grass. Another organism that uses this process is the giant tube worm.

Chemosynthesis is a way of creating energy for plants just like photosynthesis. Chemo synthesis is found in all animals and plants that are underwater herbivores.

chemosynthesis is the process of the creation of carbon and energy released from the sea grass... the giant tube worm uses the same process.
