Autotrophs, Heterotrophs, Decomposers, and CHEMOTROPHS?
Did you ever wonder how organisms that live on the ocean floor get energy if they are so far away from sun? Well, there is a group of organisms, like the tubeworm, that carry out chemosynthesis. Click here to find out more.
That makes sense!!! At first, I thought tube worms and sea plants lived off of the sun. But now I know they live off of chemicals and that they are very unique!!! :P
Wow! I never really thought about plants under water, and now i know that they exist and that they eat chemicals at the sea floor! But I still don't understand how those worms survive with no mouths. I mean sure, they have mouths for the first part of their life, while they grow, but how do they eat after that? Do they absorb the chemicals?
That's so cool! I never really understood how plants can survive underwater! Mackenzie Connelly, 7G By the way, I don't have the quiz for science version c... does anyone have it? I need the questions for numbers 1,5,6...
Very interesting article. I bet a lot of other sea life uses that process. I think the smaller something is the more amazing. Not that big things aren't amazing,but not many creatures can survive scalding water. The Archaea survives near vents of steam coming from magma underground AND in the geysers of Yellowstone. I wonder if these thing could survive in normal climates, not just extreme.
Wow...those chemotrophs are seriously interesting, impressing and weird at the same time. I've always known that there are underwater plants and animals like the tubeworm, but I'd never really thought about how they survive.
Wow! For years I've been asking myself how deep-sea plants and animals get food. Photosynthesis is impossible! This answered a science question that really bothered me. -Jeremy E. 7B
wow! i didn't know that anything could live off of chemicals! In fact, I never really even knew where animals on the ocean floor got their energy from. I also didn't know that a tubeworm had no eyes and mouth! This article was very informative.
Wow! I used to think that plants underwater were dead seaweed clumped together stuck to a big rock. really dodged that bullet.. it's also cool that they live off chemicals. I thought chemicals were poisonous.
Wow! That article was really cool and informative! Now I know about tubeworms and sea plants. Who knew a plant on the ocean floor could get their energy form chemicals!
i got to learns many things that i had no clue of? and i never thought that some animals on the ocean floor got energy even if they don't get any sunlight ~Amanda .O.
This is really cool because it shows how much living creatures depend on each other. The tubeworm depends on the bacteria to convert the chemicals to "food" (energy), and the bacteria has a place to live from the tubeworm.

It's so cool that the tubeworms were able to eat in their early stages of life, but its kind of weird that they have to eat bacteria, though..... I guess its just the way of life...
I had heard about tubeworms before, but now I finaly found out what they are. I don't understand how they can do their chemosynthesis without a mouth, though.
Woah, I didn't know plants can survive underwater.
ReplyDeleteIt's awsome how they can get energy without getting a ray of sunlight.

before this i didnt even know what a tubeworm was!

Wow, this was a very interesting article... I had no idea that tube worms and sea plants lived off of chemicals but now I do!

ReplyDeleteThanks for this...it was so interesting and i learned a lot about tubeworms and sea plants that i never knew before

WOW!!!!!! its so weird to think about something living off of chemicals!!!!!!!

I always wondered how plants survived in the depths of the ocean. I didn't expect them to use chemicals to live.
ReplyDeletethis is really cool!! i learned a lot about animals on the ocean floor and their energy source!!

that is so cool that these plants can live so far underwater !!!!!!!!!!

Tube worms look kinda icky and weird but really cool!
ReplyDeleteYuxiao L. 7G
i get it now! i've always wondered how plants could survive without sun, much less under water!
