Almost all producers obtain energy from sunlight. Most producers on Earth use sunlight as their energy source. Photosyn- thesis is the process by which plants and some protists, such as green algae, use energy from the Sun to make sugars. Plants use these sugars as encrgy for cellular respiration. Not all producers rely on the Sun for energy. In 1977 scientists first visited deep-sea vents on the floor of the ocean. They were very sur- prised to find many different organisms living in an ocean floor ecosys- tem, far from the reach of sunlight. The producers in this ocean floor ecosystem are prokaryotes that make their own food, using chemicals as an energy source, not the Sun. This process is called chemosynthesis (KEE-moh-SIHN-thih-sihs).
