What else can I help you with?
Why is it surprising that the animal of the deep-sea vents can survive?
Because that is the only known ecosystem that is not dependent on the sun to sustain life.
How do organisms at deep sea vents survive without oxygen?
These organisms do not need oxygen. They are called anaerobes.
What do cold seeps and hydrothermal vents have in common?
They both come from the ocean floor? That and it probably has to do with both allowing some type of plant or animal life to survive on the ocean floor.
Why is there a strange smell from your vents?
there could be a dead animal in your vent
Do bacteria survive hard conditions?
Yes, some bacteria (thermophiles) have been found at the bottom of the sea floor near thermal vents under incredible pressure and without any light .
How does the vent octopus survive near the hydrothermal vents?
vent crab (bythograea thermydron )
What kingdom is an organism that can survive without oxygen in?
An organism that can survive without oxygen belongs to the kingdom Monera, specifically in the domain Archaea. These organisms are known as extremophiles and are capable of thriving in extreme environments such as deep-sea vents.
Can some organisims survive without energy form the sun?
Yes, some organisms can survive without energy from the sun by utilizing other energy sources such as chemical energy from deep-sea hydrothermal vents or by consuming other organisms that have already stored sunlight energy. These organisms are often found in extreme environments where sunlight is not readily available.
Do tube worms live in the ocean?
Yes, tube worms are marine animals that live in the deep ocean near hydrothermal vents. They form colonies around these vents and survive by using chemosynthesis to convert chemicals from the vents into energy.
What living organism can survive the highest temperature?
An animal called a 'strain 121' can survive in temperatures of 121 degrees C and can survive short periods of time of 130 degrees C. Thermophilic microorganisms have been recorded as living at temperatures as high as 250 Fahrenheit. But you'd have to be more specific if you have a particular animal in mind.
What kind of prokaryotes obtain energy from hydrothermal vents?
Some prokaryotes, such as thermophiles and chemolithotrophs, obtain energy from hydrothermal vents. Thermophiles can survive and thrive in the extreme temperatures of hydrothermal vents, while chemolithotrophs use inorganic compounds like hydrogen sulfide as a source of energy.
What organism dos not need sunlight to survive?
There are some organisims that live on and around Hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the ocean, where there is no sunlight at all. They feed off the nutrients that come out of the vents, and so they don't need sunlight.
