Welcome to Sciforums, Elbaz, I hope you enjoy our community. I had not thought of the chemosynthesis until you mentioned it. Duh! Replacing light with chemical as the energy source. And that's exactly what it is about. Thank you.

I am

I'm definately enjoying this community. I spent about 5 hours in it in the last 2 days! Thankyou for the welcome. There are dark cave plants all over primarily in southeastern USA that use chemosynthesis. I saw it on the discovery channel. unfortunately I wont get to be here again until monday because they're dragging me camping. I'll be back!
