So I was looking at deep sea vent bacteria that use chemosynthesis with H2S, CO2 and O2 to make C6H12O6, but I just don't get how it's working. I know how photosynthesis works, but I can't make the jump to chemosynthesis.

I know with the use of light, an electron from the photosystem II is carried over to an electron transport chain while using photolysis to get its electron back.

But how does that work with chemoautotroph bacteria that use H2S? They don't have a photosystem or anything.
