Well, darling, in polluted water, you'll find a delightful mix of bacteria, algae, fungi, and other microorganisms just thriving in the filth. It's like a gross little party down there, with some critters actually evolving to tolerate the pollution. So, yeah, it's not exactly a marine paradise, but hey, life finds a way, even in the nastiest of places.

Do organisms that live on land need water to survive?

Yes, organisms that live on land need water to survive. Water is essential for various biological processes such as hydration, nutrient transport, and temperature regulation. Organisms have different strategies to obtain and conserve water, depending on their environment.


What is the number one factor that determines the types of organisms that can live in a body of water?

The water's temperature is the number one factor that determines the types of organisms that can live in a body of water. Organisms are adapted to specific temperature ranges, so water temperature directly influences the diversity and distribution of aquatic life.


What is used by organisms to live?

Organisms use a variety of resources to live, including food for energy, water for hydration, oxygen for respiration, and shelter for protection. In addition, organisms also rely on other organisms for processes such as mutualism, parasitism, and predation to support their survival and reproduction.


What do you call organisms that are both aquatic and terrestrial?

Amphibians are organisms that can live in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. They typically start their lives in water as larvae, then develop into adults that can live both on land and in water.


What is a place where organisms live?

An environment such as a forest, ocean, desert, or pond where organisms live and interact with each other is called a habitat. Habitats provide the necessary resources like food, water, shelter, and space for organisms to survive and thrive. Each organism is adapted to its specific habitat.

Why can only some organisms live in polluted water?

Well it depends on what you call "polluted" water. Humans for example can't even really use "dirty" water. Then there are animals that survive only in what we would call "dirty" water.If by "polluted" you mean radioactive substances, then it's because radioactive waves destroy and mutate proteins, which DNA and RNA are made of, hence most living organisms can't stand much of it.If by "polluted" you mean dumping plastic, glass or other substances into the water, then really it's "only" a problem to larger organisms, like mammals, birds, fish or reptiles. Plastic itself wouldn't hurt many creatures, although eating it can lead to death and so can getting stuck in it.If by "polluted" you mean oil, well then it's because it stops birds from being able to fly, making their wings sticky and heavier than they are allowed to be, thus starving, choking and drowning them to death. Likewise, any larger creature can't survive in oil, nor strong acids which is why so many organisms die due to them.However, something that should be mentioned is, that no matter how "polluted" water is, it's never dangerous to all living organisms. There are always some that can use it or actually need it. The problem is however, that most larger organisms, that we humans are visually aware of can not cope with water that has chemical substances, too much mud/dirt or radioactivity in them.You would have to define "polluted" and "living organisms" for a better answer.
