Are Chemotrophs producers?
Chemotrophs are also known as bacteria or archaea that live in hostile environments such as deep sea vents and they are the primary producers in these ecosystems only! Hope this helps! :) xxx
Is chemosynthetic bacteria a primary producer?
Yes, chemosynthetic bacteria are primary producers. They can utilize inorganic chemicals as an energy source to produce organic compounds through chemosynthesis, which serves as the foundation of certain ecosystems such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
What are some deep ocean producers?
Bacteria. Algae need light to produce their food, so they're mostly closer to the surface, but some types of bacteria can ferment and produce their own food chemically, without the need for light as an energy source.
Chemosynthetic communities in the ocean can be found?
surrounding deep-sea hydrothermal vents
Why are hydrothermal vents helpful to the deep sea ecology?
Hydrothermal vents allow underground heat sources to warm the ocean bottom which is necessary to support deep see ecology.
Are there any producers in the midnight zone?
In the midnight zone, also known as the bathypelagic zone, there are no producers like plants or phytoplankton because sunlight does not penetrate this deep in the ocean. Instead, this zone relies on the organic matter that sinks from the upper layers of the ocean for energy. Some deep-sea organisms, such as certain bacteria, can utilize chemosynthesis, converting chemicals from hydrothermal vents into energy, but these are not traditional producers in the way we think of them in shallower, sunlit waters. Overall, the deep sea is largely a consumer-dominated ecosystem.
What are deep sea producers?
Deep sea producers are the organisms that live so far down in the ocean, that they have to make their own food in order to live.
What kinds of archaebacteria live in hot spring and in boiling deep ocean vents?
thermophiles
What are hot springs found deep on the ocean floor called?
Hot springs found deep on the ocean floor are called hydrothermal vents. These vents release mineral-rich water heated by geothermal processes, creating unique ecosystems that support diverse forms of life.
What kind of organisms live in hot springs and in boiling deep ocean vents?
The types of archaebacteria which live in hot springs and boiling deep ocean vents are thermophiles.
What are the producers and consumers in the ocean?
get a text book and search it or i will make you part of the deep ocean this deep ocean b u l l s h i t
What is the primary source of energy for organisms that live near deep-sea vents?
hydrogen sulfide
