chemoszintézishez
Chemosynthesis is a biological process where organisms produce energy and organic compounds from inorganic chemicals. This process is fundamental to certain ecosystems, particularly those in deep-sea hydrothermal vents or caves, where sunlight is absent. Unlike photosynthesis, which utilizes light energy, chemosynthesis relies on chemical energy derived from the oxidation of reduced inorganic compounds such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, methane, or ferrous iron.
Organisms capable of chemosynthesis are known as chemoautotrophs. They use enzymes to catalyze reactions that release
The specific inorganic compounds used and the chemical pathways involved vary depending on the species and
