Question

14 how is chemosynthesis different from photosynthesis?
a chemosynthesis does not require enzymes.
b chemosynthesis can occur in environments without sunlight.
c chemosynthesis does not require reactants from outside the cell.
d chemosynthesis produces sugars that organisms use as an energy source.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Photosynthesis requires sunlight to convert carbon - dioxide and water into sugars and oxygen using light energy. Chemosynthesis uses chemical energy from inorganic compounds (e.g., hydrogen sulfide) instead of light energy and can occur in dark environments like deep - sea hydrothermal vents. Enzymes are required in both processes, and both need reactants from outside the cell. Producing sugars as an energy source is common to both.

Answer:

B. Chemosynthesis can occur in environments without sunlight.
