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.
Why are hydrothermal vents helpful to the deep sea ecology?
Hydrothermal vents allow underground heat sources to warm the ocean bottom which is necessary to support deep see ecology.
What does an extremophile eat?
Thermophiles are found in various geothermally heated regions of the Earth. The live in hot springs like those in Yellowstone National Park and deep sea hydrothermal vents.
Black and white smokers are submerged by what type of volcanoes?
A chimney like vent on the ocean floor. It is a hydrothermal vent.
Why it would be important to find sighs volcanism on Europa?
Because if the inner core of Europa is molten, it is possible that the surface may be warmed by hydrothermal vents. And on earth we have found many types of life forms thriving in the dark near hydrothermal vents. -destiny 8th grade.
What is unique about the producers that live in hydrothermal vents?
Bacteria use chemosynthesis. They take the chemicals in the water shooting out of the vents.
Where do some scientist think bacteria originated?
near deep-sea hydrothermal vents
Where do some scientists think these bacteria originated?
near deep-sea hydrothermal vents
How can the yeti lobster survive in the hydrothermal vents?
Scientists are not quite sure, but it may be due to the bacteria they grow on the "hairs" their pincer arms are covered in. The bacteria that live there are able to convert the toxic chemicals spewed out by hydrothermal vents in a process called chemosynthesis.
What does a polychaete worm eat?
this kind of worm feeds on chemosynthetic bacteria around the hydrothermal vents
What organisms produce hydrothermal vents?
Bacteria. It uses the process called chemosynthesis to produce glucose.
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 do hydrothermal vents look like?
Type your answer here... what do Hydrothermal Vents look like
Have been found in waters of hydrothermal vents?
hydrothermal vents are found in the deep zone
Why do tubeworms and hundreds of other species thrive near hydrothermal vents?
Chemicals from the vents feed bacteria which, in turn, produce sugar and other food for organisms.
How Tall Are Hydrothermal vents?
Hydrothermal vents can get very tall. Many of them are as tall as a three story house.
In What zone are hydrothermal vents located-?
hydrothermal vents are found in the deep zone
