Carbohydrates Production in Photosynthesis and Chemosynthesis

In both photosynthesis and chemosynthesis:

carbon dioxide and oxygen are produced. carbohydrates are produced. oxygen is produced. carbon dioxide is produced.

In both photosynthesis and chemosynthesis, carbohydrates are produced.

• Photosynthesis occurs in plants, algae, and some bacteria, where carbon dioxide and water are converted into glucose (a carbohydrate) and oxygen, using sunlight as the energy source.
• Chemosynthesis occurs in certain bacteria and archaea, where inorganic compounds (like hydrogen sulfide or methane) are used to produce carbohydrates, typically in environments without sunlight (like deep-sea vents).

While both processes produce carbohydrates, the specific byproducts (like oxygen in photosynthesis) differ.
