Does a giant tube worm have relatives?
yes the tube worm which lives in coral reefs.
Why does the water plug in the glass tubing moves upward as temperature in the test tube increases?
As the temperature in the test tube increases, the air inside the test tube expands, leading to a decrease in pressure. This decrease in pressure causes the water plug in the glass tubing to move upward as it seeks to equalize the pressure inside and outside the test tube.
Which zone do tube worms live in?
Tube worms, particularly giant tube worms, live in the abyssal zone, a deep ocean region marked by complete darkness, high pressure, and cold temperatures. They thrive near hydrothermal vents—cracks on the seafloor releasing superheated, mineral-rich water. These vents support chemosynthetic bacteria, which convert chemicals like hydrogen sulfide into energy, forming the foundation of the tube worms' food source. This extraordinary adaptation enables them to flourish in an otherwise harsh and nutrient-poor environment.
Do tube worms have backbones?
No worms have backbones. They are all invertebrates.
What is the giant tube worms adaptation?
,
What is special about the test tube?
it is made under high temperature and pressure so it can withstand heat
During boiling why is it important that the tube is vented?
Venting the tube while boiling allows for the release of pressure and prevents the build-up of steam, which helps to control the process and maintain a consistent temperature. This also helps to prevent the tube from bursting due to the pressure created by the boiling liquid.
What eats a tubeworm?
Tube worms shoot silky looking netting onto coral, which makes fish tanks very unattractive. Copperbanded butterfly fish will usually eat tube worms. Wrasse and Dottyback fish will also eat tube worms.
Are tube worms and bacteria mutualistic?
Yes, tube worms and certain bacteria engage in a mutualistic relationship. The bacteria, often chemosynthetic, convert hydrogen sulfide from hydrothermal vents into organic compounds, providing nutrients for the tube worms. In return, the tube worms offer a stable habitat and access to these bacteria, facilitating their growth and reproduction. This symbiotic relationship is crucial for the survival of both organisms in extreme environments.
What kingdom is tube worms?
Tube worms belong to the kingdom Animalia. Specifically, they are classified under the phylum Annelida and the class Polychaeta. These marine creatures are known for their tube-like structures which they use for protection and habitat. Tube worms can be found in various environments, including deep-sea hydrothermal vents and other marine ecosystems.

Why the mercury can not rise in a lab thermometer if there is air in the glass tube?
Mercury does not rise in a lab thermometer if there is air in the glass tube because the presence of air creates pressure within the tube that opposes the expansion of the mercury. Without a vacuum, the air pressure prevents the mercury from moving freely up the tube in response to changes in temperature.
