The ultimate source of energy for all organisms except those living deep in the ocean near a thermal vent is the?
phytoplankton
What is the ultimate source of energy for almost all organisms except those living deep in the ocean near thermal vent?
phytoplankton
What are the three most important parts of a volcano?
creater,vent and the magma chamber
What important function do volcanoes perform for the Earth?
It as a cool vent by realising heat from the earths core.
What is the difference between a B vent and A vent?
A vent is non insulated and should be boxed in on the outside of your home. B vent is insulated and can be left exposed,
What is a hydropthermal vent?
It is a geyser in the sea floor
Where might one find an autotroph using chemosynthesis?
Try the base of a "black smoker" (an undersea volcanic vent).
Bacteria in hydrothermal vent communities use this to produce food?
Chemosynthesis. It synthesizes molecular "food" be using energy derived from oxidizing hydrogen and/or nitrogen. This is used by organisms which have developed to exploit habitats deprived of sunlight, such as indoors in heat system vents or outdoors in deep ocean.
What organism is a producer of a vent colony?
viruses are not really organisms
What are organisms that live in hydrothermal vent?
There are some organisms that make there own food and that don't need vitamins from the sun.
Producers in a hydrothermal vent community are?
There are none. No sunlight penetrates that deep, so there is no sunlight for photosynthesis. Instead, bacteria use chemosynthesis. They take the chemicals in the water shooting out of the vents, and make it into food.
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 chemical environment exists at 'black smokers'?
A "black smoker" is a volcanic vent located on the ocean floor at tectonic plate boundaries, often thousands of feet underwater where there is no sunlight whatsoever. In this seemingly inhospitable environment, life can actually thrive, however, due to the process of chemosynthesis. Chemosynthesis differs from photosynthesis in that it can happen in the absence of light. Photosynthesis produces glucose from carbon dioxide and water, but chemosynthesis produces glucose from sulfur dioxide and methane (2 common volcanic by-products.) Based on this, entire ecosystems can exist where before no one even considered it possible.
What are deep-sea vent organisms evidence of?
Life forms who's life cycle is as alien to us as we can conceive of.
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.
The ultimate source of energy for all organisms except those living deep in the ocean near a thermal vent is the?
phytoplankton
What is the ultimate source of energy for almost all organisms except those living deep in the ocean near thermal vent?
