Answer:
1) Photosynthesis:
Reactants- 6CO2 (carbon source), 6H2O, light energy
Products- C6H12O6 (organic molecule), 6O2
2) Chemosynthesis:
Reactants- 6CO2 (inorganic carbon source), 6H2O, 3H2S ( chemical energy source)
Products- C6H12O6 (organic molecule), 3H2SO4
Please find the difference in terms of how chemosynthesis and photosynthesis convert energy below
Explanation:
Photosynthesis and Chemosynthesis are both autotrophic forms of nutrition. They differ in the form of energy and reactants' used to power their respective processes.
- Photosynthesis is the process whereby plants synthesize their food (glucose) from carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20) in the presence of sunlight as energy, releasing oxygen gas (O2) as a product.
6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
- Chemosynthesis, on the other hand, is the process whereby certain bacteria and fungi that lacks access to light synthesize organic food (glucose) from an inorganic carbon soure (carbon dioxide, CO2), water (H2O), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), used as chemical energy source, releasing sulfates (H2SO4) as a product
6CO2 + 6H2O + 3H2S -> C6H12O6 + 3H2SO4
However, photosynthesis converts solar energy (energy in sunlight) to chemical energy (in glucose) while chemosynthesis converts inorganic chemical energy to organic chemical energy.
The chemical reaction(reactant and product) for photosynthesis and chemosynthesis are as follows:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
18H₂S + 6CO₂ + 3O₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ (carbohydrate) + 12H₂O + 18S
Photosynthesis reaction:
This reaction is a reaction between carbon dioxide and water to form sugar and Oxygen in the presence of sunlight.
The chemical equation of photosynthesis can be interpreted as 6 molecules of carbon dioxide reacting with 6 molecules of water to form a simple sugar and 6 oxygen molecules in the presence of sunlight . The names of the reactant and products are as follows:
carbon dioxide + water → Sugar + oxygen
Chemosynthesis reaction:
Chemosynthesis is the conversion of carbon compounds and other molecules into organic compounds.
Using H₂S as an energy source a chemosynthetic reaction can be represented below:
From the reaction Hydrogen sulphide was used as a source of energy and it reacts with carbon dioxide and oxygen to produce sugar, water and sulphur.
Hydrogen sulphide + carbondioxide + oxygen → Sugar + water + sulphur.
