Some archaebacteria, such as thermophiles, live by hydrothermal vents. They are chemoautotrophs, which means that they produce their own food using energy from the chemicals in the vents instead of using energy from the sun. The energy starts in the vent, then goes to the archaebacteria, then to the organisms that eat those archaebacteria, and so on.

What Hot springs in ocean floor?
They are an undersea thermal vent or hydrothermal vent.
Where do organisms living near hydro-thermal vents get their energy from?
Vent organisms metabolize sulfur (or have a symbiotic relationship with organisms that metabolize sulfur).
Why is the tube worm riftia?
what is the estimated life of a hydrothermal vent community
What is an ocean thermal vent?
It is a place where volcanism or hot water heated by the underlying magma erupts on the ocean floor.
Can you convert glucose into carbon dioxide?
Yes, cellular metabolism converts glucose to carbon dioxide all the time, and this reaction is the source of chemical energy for all other chemical reactions in cells. It is the fundamental source of energy for most organisms (with hydro-thermal vent organisms being an exception).
What does a hydro thermal vent crab eat?
They eat bacteria, shrimp,mussels, clams, tubeworms, and even each other.
Why should'nt you cover a computers vent?
Because it will over-heat - causing the thermal fuse to trigger, shutting the computer down.
What is a energy source for hydrothermal vent?
The heat from deep in the earth's mantle.
