5. The word beginning chemo- means "chemical." Synthesis means "mak- ing something through chemical reactions." How does the meaning

of the word parts relate to the meaning of the term chemosynthesis?

The parts of the word chemosynthesis state the meaning of it, which is synthesizing chemical molecules that will provide energy to the system from chemical reactions.

Explanation:

Chemosynthesis is a process where organic molecules, which are chemicals, are made through chemical reactions. These organic molecules are stored, and the organism uses it when it needs energy. In other words, chemo, which means chemical, and synthesis means making, is the making of chemicals through the reaction of different atoms, molecules, and elements.

An example of Chemiosyntesis is the synthesis of ATP, an energetic molecule that an organism can synthesize from the energy that is released from a reaction.
