Why can some bacteria live in volcanic vents?

Biota that live in extreme environments are known as extremophiles. They have evolved to like these conditions. Black Smokers in the ocean floor, are surrounded by such organisms - in that case, of ones that can survive without light and oxygen.


At what tenperature is bacteria most active?

It really depends on the bacteria. Some multiply best at room temperature, some at 60 deg celcius. Bacteria has 4 phases in life. The lag, log/exponential, stationary or the death phase. Bacteria multiply best at its log phase. The log phase depends on the bacteria species.


Where does monera kingdom live?

Monera is a traditional biological kingdom that includes single-celled organisms like bacteria. These organisms can be found in a wide variety of habitats on Earth, including soil, water, and even within other living organisms. They are found all over the world, from deep sea vents to hot springs.


What characteristics distinguish archaea from bacteria?

well if you mean by distinguish as diff rent archaebacteria can live in extreme environment and it is an ancient bacteria but eubacteria cant live in extreme environment but it can live in food , air , and also in living things .


A group of prokaryotes that often live in extreme environments is the?

Archaea. They are a group of single-celled microorganisms that have unique cell membranes and thrive in extreme environments like hot springs, salt flats, and deep-sea hydrothermal vents. They are distinct from bacteria and eukaryotes in their genetic makeup and cell structure.

What organisms on earth do not get original energy from the sun?

Organisms which do not rely on the sun for their original energy include chemosynthetic bacteria found in deep sea hydrothermal vents. These bacteria use chemicals like hydrogen sulfide to produce energy through a process similar to photosynthesis, known as chemosynthesis.


Where are 5 extreme places where bacteria live?

If you are talking in or on the human body, I don't know. But if you mean where are 5 extreme places where bacteria live in the world, then here are some: Antarctica, the deep ocean, thermal vents under the ocean, in extremely hot water near thermal vents on land and in desert sand where the temperature is incredibly hot. Bacteria can live in very extreme places like the extremely freezing temperatures of the ice floating on lake Vostok in antarctica and the near boiling hot springs in Yellow Stone National Park USA


What organisms are an exception to the rule that all life energy comes from the sun?

Organisms that live in deep-sea hydrothermal vents are an exception as they derive energy from chemical reactions in the absence of sunlight. These organisms, like certain types of bacteria and archaea, use a process called chemosynthesis to convert minerals and chemicals in the vent water into energy for survival.


Which domain would one classify bacteria that live in hydrothermal vents?

The domain for bacteria that live in hydrothermal vents would be "Bacteria." They belong to the domain Bacteria in the three-domain system of classification, which includes Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.


What is an alternative to photosynthesis for organisms that live at the bottom of the ocean or in hot springs?

There are bacteria that are capable of metabolizing elemental sulfur that emerges in thermal vents or hot springs, as their source of energy.


Why can bateria live in hostile environments?

Organisms that live in the Archaea Domain can live in hostile environments that others cannot. They live in areas such as sulfurous hot springs, deep-sea thermal vents, salty lakes, wastewater from mining, and in the intestines of animals.


What is unique about the producers that live in hydrothermal vents?

Bacteria use chemosynthesis. They take the chemicals in the water shooting out of the vents.


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


2 A bacterium that lives in the deep ocean vents where hot mineral rich water and lava emerge from the ocean floor would be classified into what kingdom of bacteria?

These themophiles would be classified as archeabacteria. These bacteria inhabit extreme living conditions such as high heat and high pressure.


What is the earliest group or living organisms on earth?

The archeobacteria. Very primitive bacteria that live in extreme conditions - hot springs, thermal vents on the ocean floor, extremely salty saline pools and even in Antarctic ice


What kinds of archaebacteria live in hot spring and in boiling deep ocean vents?

thermophiles


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.
