Because that is the only known ecosystem that is not dependent on the sun to sustain life.
What else can I help you with?
Is there any animal that can survive in vents and reproduce without food?
There are no animals discovered fully, but some people and scientists have agreed there is 5 species of animal are able to everyone if these.
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.
What do you find most surprising about microorganisms living in extreme conditions?
I find it surprising how adaptable microorganisms are to extreme conditions such as high temperatures, high pressure, acidity, or lack of oxygen. They have unique survival mechanisms that allow them to thrive in environments where other organisms cannot survive.
Why is there a strange smell from your vents?
there could be a dead animal in your vent
How does the vent octopus survive near the hydrothermal vents?
vent crab (bythograea thermydron )
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.
How do organisms at deep sea vents survive without oxygen?
These organisms do not need oxygen. They are called anaerobes.
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.
What is unusual about organisms in the domain Archaea?
They can survive in areas of the earth where no other life forms can be found. For example, some of them can't survive in oxygen, and others are found deep inside the ocean vents.
What are some of the animal life in the hydothermal vents?
there is tubeworms and huge clams in the pacifc ocean but eyeless shrimp in the atlantic
