Summary Introduction
To review:
The communities of the microbes, clams and tube worms can be established in hydrothermal vents.
Introduction:
A hydrothermalventis a kind of fissure in this planet from which the geothermally heated water spewed out witha very high amount of minerals. These are found thousands of meters deep under the sea near to the volcanic areas. A large number of communities of chemolithoautotrophs is found to reside there.

Give two reasons why sulfate-reducing bacteria are common inshallow marine sediments.
Refer to the following graph of Carbon Assimilation vs. Irradiance of several cultures of dinoflagellates in the northern Baltic Sea. Samples were treated with varying levels of pH. What is the effect of pH on the metabolism of the cultures?
a) The growth of the culture is limited by increasing pH.
b) The growth of the culture is increased by increasing pH.
c) The growth of the culture is not limited by increasing pH.
d) The growth of the culture is not affected by increasing pH or increasing irradiation.
