Chemosynthesis
A process by which some organisms, like bacteria, use chemical energy to produce carbohydrates
Real World Example
Imagine you're in a room where there's no sunlight, and you're trying to make a cup of coffee but you can't use electricity. This is similar to how some bacteria live in environments without sunlight and need to find other energy sources to produce food. Just like you might use a battery-powered coffee maker to brew your coffee, these bacteria use chemical reactions with substances like hydrogen sulfide to generate the energy needed to create carbohydrates. In both scenarios, the challenge of lacking a typical energy source (sunlight or electricity) is overcome by tapping into an alternative energy method (battery power or chemical reactions) to produce something essential (coffee or carbohydrates).
