Because there's no source of food where they live in the Hadal zone (the deepest darkest trenches of the ocean) so they need bacteria to turn toxic chemicals streaming out of hydrothermal vents into "food" (chemicals they can use to survive).
yes the tube worm which lives in coral reefs.
herbivore
The cell membrane of a tube worm helps maintain a stable environment through selective permeability, allowing essential nutrients to enter while keeping harmful substances out. This membrane is composed of phospholipids and proteins that facilitate transport mechanisms such as diffusion and active transport. Additionally, the membrane's fluid nature allows for the dynamic adjustment of its components, helping the worm adapt to varying external conditions. Overall, these features enable the tube worm to regulate its internal environment effectively.
to maintain a stable environment
It prevents minerals in the water from flowing into the cell
Giant tube worm was created in 1981.
No, because a plume worm is a feather duster worm, and a giant tube worm is very deep undersea.

Tube worms, particularly species like the giant tube worm (Riftia pachyptila), can grow quite large, reaching lengths of up to 3 meters (about 10 feet). Typically, their tube can extend several feet, while the worm itself can be around 1.5 meters (about 5 feet) long. These worms thrive in deep-sea environments, often near hydrothermal vents, where they rely on symbiotic bacteria for nutrition.
It uses a process called chemosynthesis, turning chemicals into food and energy for itself
possibly.
Microscopic organic matter and plankton are what tube worms eat. Fine hairs and tentacles ensure that the food sources move from outside to inside every tube worm.
its an important worm\
yes it grew on giant steriods
