What happens in chemosynthesis

drives energy from the inorganic chemicals, in the absence of solar light.

Explanation:

Chemosynthesis is an important process that some organisms use to get energy for the production of food. ... Instead, this energy comes from the reaction of inorganic chemicals that many of these organisms find in their environment. (Image Credit: teara.govt.nz) This process mostly occurs in bacteria

Chemosynthesis is a biological process that takes place in some bacteria and derives energy from the inorganic chemicals, in the absence of solar light. It involves oxidation of inorganic molecules to make organic molecules, such as glucose.

both anaerobic and aerobic respiration use glucose (or other carbohydrates), proteins and lipids to produce atp and nadh. cell uses those energy molecules, obtained from food and   breaks them down during the chemical reactions of respiration. in anaerobic respiration, nadh is regenerated to nad+ by enzymes lactate dehydrogenase (lactate is produced, e.g. in muscle cells) or by alcohol dehydrogenase where ethanol is produced (alcohol fermentation), while in aerobic respiration, electrons from nadh are deposited in the mitochondria to regenerate nad+ (electron transport chain. anaerobic respiration produces 2 atp per molecule of glucose compared to aerobic respiration where about 38 atp molecules are produced.
