Question
some producers are found clustered at hot vents deep on the ocean floor where the ph can be as low as 2.8. which autotrophic organisms are able to survive in high - temperature, acidic environments such as the hot vents? phytoplankton zooplankton photosynthetic bacteria chemosynthetic bacteria
Chemosynthetic bacteria can survive in extreme environments like deep - sea hot vents with high temperatures and acidic conditions. They use chemical energy instead of light energy for synthesis. Photosynthetic bacteria need light, and zooplankton and phytoplankton are not adapted to such harsh, chemosynthetic - dominated environments.
