Without nitrogen-fixing bacteria some plants cannot grow. Without these key plants herbivores can die off, thus limiting the food source of carnivores.

If the hydrothermal vent closed up and the water become too clod for the bacteria to make their own food what would happen to the carnivores if the bacteria was present?

If the hydrothermal vent closed up and the water became too cold for bacteria to produce their own food, the carnivores dependent on these bacteria would be indirectly affected as their food source diminishes. This would disrupt the entire food chain in the ecosystem leading to a decrease in population of these carnivores.

Links between energy of carnivores and photosynthesis?

Carnivores obtain their energy by consuming other organisms, including herbivores that obtain energy from photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and some bacteria convert sunlight into chemical energy stored in the form of glucose. Carnivores rely on this stored energy indirectly through the food chain.


What Feeds on animal tissues?
