A lot of organisms that thrive in the deepest parts of the ocean rely heavily on chemosynthesis.
Chemosynthesis is most commonly seen near thermal vents and involves the biological conversion of 1+ carbon molecules (methane/CO2) and nutrients into organic matter. This is made possible through the oxidation of inorganic molecules such as H2 or Hydrogen Sulfide; these are used as a source of energy, rather than radiation from the sun.

What organisms depend on water?
Tides normally have detrimental effects on living things. Most of the living things are displaced by the heavy tides and there is so much waste that is deposited on the shores which ends up hurting the environment.
What role do chemosynthetic bacteria play in deep-sea volcanic-vent ecosystems?
It serves as a food source to organisms in the deep water
Propose a question that a scientist might ask about the variety of organisms found around deep sea vents?
lol your scerwed i have the same question in my pearson succes thing
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
How deep do organisms live in the sea?
Deep-sea creatures live under water in an ocean or sea. They live in deapts such as trinches or caves. They are atleast 40 to 50 miles under water.' +++ There no "caves" in the deep oceans. You find them in shallow coastal seas and coral reefs. The oceans are NOT "40 to 50 miles" deep - those figures are rubbish. The mean depth of the abyssal plains is about 3-4 miles at most; some subduction trenches like the Marianas are deeper, but none reach even 10 miles.
For carbon fixation what process do deep-sea organisms depend on?
i dont knok
What process produces deep-sea trenches?
A process known as subduction creates deep sea trenches.
What process produces deep sea trenches?
A process known as subduction creates deep sea trenches.
What produces deep sea trenches?
A process known as subduction creates deep sea trenches.
What happens to the deep sea organisms if they are brought to the surface?
they usually die
How do organisms at deep sea vents survive without oxygen?
These organisms do not need oxygen. They are called anaerobes.
What are deep sea producers?
Deep sea producers are the organisms that live so far down in the ocean, that they have to make their own food in order to live.
What process produceces deep sea trenches?
Subduction.
The ocean floor is hard to get to Deep-sea organisms have been difficult to study. How do I combine these two sentences to make a correct one sentence?
Deep-sea organisms have been difficult to study because the ocean floor is hard to get to.

What are deep sea detritivores?
Detritivores are organisms that acquire energy by consuming decomposing plant and animal material. Sea stars, sea cucumbers, and fiddler crabs are all marine detritivores.
