Chemosynthesis

A process by which some organisms, like bacteria, use chemical energy to produce carbohydrates
Real World Example
Imagine you're in a remote cabin without electricity, and you need to cook dinner. Just like you might use a gas stove to transform fuel into heat to cook your meal, certain bacteria use chemical reactions to transform inorganic substances into energy-rich carbohydrates. In this analogy, the gas stove represents the bacteria's ability to use chemical energy, and the cooked meal is akin to the carbohydrates they produce through chemosynthesis.
