Organisms living near hydrothermal vents have no access to light so they get their energy from chemosynthesis.
Chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon containing molecules and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic compounds or methane as a source of energy. Chemosynthesis is the process by which certain microbes create energy by mediating chemical reactions.
