Organisms living near hydrothermal vents are .?
The organisms living near hydro thermal vents are cold blooded animals whose body temperature does fluctuate as per the environment. There thermo regulatory receptors are missing and they do not posses any control over their body temperatures.
Why were scientist surprised to discover the variety of organisms living around hydrothermal events?
hydrothermal vents are on the bottom of the ocean where there is not much sunlight and is so deep, that they thought it would be impossible for any organisms to survive. apparently, hydrothermal vents provided heat and produced chemicals which bacteria feed on. And other animals feed on bacteria.
Where can you find producers?
Since it's classed under oceanography.. in shallower waters they're seaweeds and other underwater plants (plus plankton). In deeper waters, any organism that can make energy from chemicals around hydrothermal vents.

What does an extremophile eat?
Thermophiles are found in various geothermally heated regions of the Earth. The live in hot springs like those in Yellowstone National Park and deep sea hydrothermal vents.
Organisms living near hydrothermal vents get their energy from where?
The organisms living near hydro thermal vents are cold blooded animals whose body temperature does fluctuate as per the environment. There thermo regulatory receptors are missing and they do not posses any control over their body temperatures.
Are any of the creatures in hydrothermal vents able to breathe?
This is much simpler than it might appear, in that ALL life forms "breathe" in one manner or another..that is, extracting gas molecules from their surrounding environment, be that aqueous or gaseous, which then fuel metabolic life processes. Those living in hydrothermal vents are generally termed "xenophobes", since their life environment is so extreme, compared to what we accept as "normal", that these lifeforms seem "alien" to the general populace.

Most likely.
What the sea water temperature during daytime?
Daytime sea water temperatures vary considerably depending on the location (especially latitude) and time of year. The temperatures also vary considerably with depth. Near the poles (Arctic and Antarctic) the surface temperature of sea water is around -4 °C (salt water freezes at a lower temperature than pure water so it is still liquid below 0 °C). Near the equator, surface temperatures may be as high as 36 °C. Note that temperature can vary quite a bit throughout the day. The closer to the surface, the more the temperature varies; on calm days, the temperature at any particular surface location can vary by around 6 °C (10 °F) while it hardly changes at all below 10 meters depth. The temperature of sea water near the ocean floor is around 2-3 °C (except near hydrothermal vents) no matter what time of day. Near hydrothermal vents the temperatures can be 60 °C (140 °F)up to as high as 464 °C (867 °F). Note that at the highest temperatures, the sea water will actually be a supercritical fluid so it wouldn't quite be the liquid phase we normally associate with "water".
Why short day plants near highway might not produced any flower?
Due to air pollution
