Some archaebacteria, such as thermophiles, live by hydrothermal vents. They are chemoautotrophs, which means that they produce their own food using energy from the chemicals in the vents instead of using energy from the sun. The energy starts in the vent, then goes to the archaebacteria, then to the organisms that eat those archaebacteria, and so on.
What else can I help you with?
The ultimate source of energy for all organisms except those living deep in the ocean near a thermal vent is the?
phytoplankton
What Hot springs in ocean floor?
They are an undersea thermal vent or hydrothermal vent.
What is the ultimate source of energy for almost all organisms except those living deep in the ocean near thermal vent?
phytoplankton
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).
What is the ultimate source of energy for almost all organism except those living deep in the ocean near a thermal vent?
The sun is the ultimate source of energy for almost all organisms, as it drives photosynthesis in plants and algae, which are then consumed by other organisms in the food chain. Organisms living deep in the ocean near thermal vents rely on chemosynthesis, where bacteria convert chemicals from the vents into energy.
Why is the tube worm riftia?
what is the estimated life of a hydrothermal vent community
What is the ultimate food source in the vent community?
The ultimate food source in the vent community is typically chemosynthetic bacteria. These bacteria convert chemicals such as hydrogen sulfide into energy through a process called chemosynthesis, which forms the base of the food chain in these extreme environments. Other organisms like giant tube worms and deep-sea crabs rely on these bacteria for nutrition.
What is an ocean thermal vent?
It is a place where volcanism or hot water heated by the underlying magma erupts on the ocean floor.
What is the ultimate source of energy for almost all organisms except those living deep in the ocean near a thermal vent?
The ultimate source of energy for almost all organisms is the sun. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants and other autotrophic organisms convert sunlight into chemical energy that is then consumed by heterotrophic organisms in the food chain.
Why should'nt you cover a computers vent?
Because it will over-heat - causing the thermal fuse to trigger, shutting the computer down.
What does a hydro thermal vent crab eat?
They eat bacteria, shrimp,mussels, clams, tubeworms, and even each other.
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.
