Chemosynthesis is a process by which certain organisms, such as certain bacteria and archaea, produce organic compounds using energy derived from inorganic substances, rather than from sunlight as in photosynthesis. In the case of hydrogen sulfide chemosynthesis, the correct chemical process is:<br /><br />c) $CO_{2}+O_{2}+4H_{2}S\rightarrow CH_{2}O+4S+3H_{2}O$<br /><br />In this process, carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are used as reactants to produce organic compounds, such as formaldehyde (CH2O), elemental sulfur (S), and water (H2O). This process is carried out by certain chemolithotrophic bacteria, which use hydrogen sulfide as an electron donor and carbon dioxide as a carbon source to produce energy and organic compounds.
