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.

Organisms living near hydrothermal vents get their energy from .?
sulfur
Organisms living near hydrothermal vents have no access to light so they get their energy from?
chemical reactions
What are chemosynthetic organisms?
Chemosynthetic organisms obtain their energy directly from raw chemicals in their environment. Examples of this include tubeworms living next to hydrothermal vents.
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.
What Organisms that live around hydrothermal vents are supported by what?
chemoautotrophssulfur
What do organisims living near hydrothermal vents get their energy from?
Special bacteria (chemosynthetic bacteria) live there which use the sulfur from the hydrothermal vents to make their own food. Other organisms, such as copepods (and other zooplankton), eat this bacteria. Other organisms, such as snails, shrimp, crabs, tube worms, and fish eat the copepods. Therefore, the number of organisms living in these vent systems are 10,000 times greater than areas in the ocean that do not have hydrothermal vents. These life forms would not be possible without the chemosynthetic bacteria, since sulfur is toxic to almost all other forms of life.
Where do organisms that live near hydrothermal vents get energy?
Hydrothermal vents are commonly found near volcanically active places, areas where tectonic plates are moving apart, ocean basins, and hotspots. Vent organisms depend on chemosynthetic bacteria for food. The water from the hydrothermal vent is rich in dissolved minerals and supports a large population of chemoautotrophic bacteria.
What kind of prokaryotes obtain energy from hydrothermal vents?
i
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.
What organisms produce hydrothermal vents?
Bacteria. It uses the process called chemosynthesis to produce glucose.
Which organisms are the first level consumers at hydrothermal vents?
Shrimp, Giant clams, and Tube worms
Where would you expect to find chemosynthetic organisms?
such organisms would be bacteria, fungi, protozoa, algae and other microorganisms mostly you would only need to find a rock and have a powerful microscope
