Question
Chapter 38, Problem 19RQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: The ways by which the animals living in deep-sea thermal vents exist in total independence of energy.
Introduction: The deep sea is regarded as the largest habitat, and this region does not receive much amount of sunlight. Plants are not able to grow in this region due to the absence of solar energy.

Although chemoautotrophs serve as the primary producers near hydrothermal vents, animals there still ultimately depend on the photosynthetic activities of plants and cyanobacteria. Why?
Climate change and global warming patterns have caused ocean temperatures to increase over the last 50 years. How would the researchers algae farm help fight climate change? What would be the advantage of the algae farm beyond the production of biofuel?
In what ways are Ca and Si cycling in oceanwaters similar, and in what ways do they differ?How do the calcium and silica cycles couple to thecarbon cycle?
