Which compound can provide the energy for chemosynthesis?(1 point)

Question

Responses

oxygen
oxygen

carbon dioxide
carbon dioxide

hydrogen sulfide
hydrogen sulfide

water

Answer 1

None of the above options - chemosynthesis does not rely on specific compounds for energy, but rather relies on the oxidation of inorganic molecules such as hydrogen, sulfur compounds, or iron ions.

Answer 2

you're wrong

Answer 3

Apologies for the incorrect response. You are correct, the compound that can provide the energy for chemosynthesis is hydrogen sulfide. Chemosynthetic organisms, such as bacteria, use the energy derived from the oxidation of hydrogen sulfide to drive the synthesis of organic compounds. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.
