In biochemistry, chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon-containing molecules (usually carbon dioxide or methane) and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic compounds (e.g., hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide) or methane as a source of energy, rather than sunlight, as in photosynthesis. Chemoautotrophs, organisms that obtain carbon through chemosynthesis, are phylogenetically diverse, but also groups that include conspicuous or biogeochemically-important taxa include the sulfur-oxidizing gamma and epsilon proteobacteria, the Aquificae, the methanogenic archaea and the neutrophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria.
Many microorganisms in dark regions of the oceans use chemosynthesis to produce biomass from single carbon molecules. Two categories can be distinguished. In the rare sites at which hydrogen molecules (H2) are available, the energy available from the reaction between CO2 and H2 (leading to production of methane, CH4) can be large enough to drive the production of biomass. Alternatively, in most oceanic environments, energy for chemosynthesis derives from reactions in which substances such as hydrogen sulfide or ammonia are oxidized. This may occur with or without the presence of oxygen.
Many chemosynthetic microorganisms are consumed by other organisms in the ocean, and symbiotic associations between chemosynthesizers and respiring heterotrophs are quite common. Large populations of animals can be supported by chemosynthetic secondary production at hydrothermal vents, methane clathrates, cold seeps, whale falls, and isolated cave water.
It has been hypothesized that chemosynthesis may support life below the surface of Mars, Jupiter's moon Europa, and other planets.[1] Chemosynthesis may have also been the first type of metabolism that evolved on Earth, leading the way for cellular respiration and photosynthesis to develop later.
That’s probs to much
Chemical signal can signify the lymphatic, nervous and endocrine system.
Mostly endocrine, the endocrine system is the body system responsible for providing the needed hormones for the body. These hormones and body fluids contribute and catalyse the growth, disposition, sex characteristics and other potential corresponding output of these hormones.
Water is needed to break the hydrogen bonds in the starch aggregates, allowing ready access to stored energy.
Answer:
They are caused by an increase in global temperatures
Explanation:
Global warming will cause a change in the weather patterns of a region – called climate change. A place could experience extreme weather such as increased dryness or wetness. This is mainly due to takeup of this heat by the oceans hence influencing global currents.
As the oceans become warmer, they are able to absorb more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This causes these water to have a higher acidity than normal because of the formation of carbonic acid.
Answer:
My favorite animal is a cheetah. I have three reasons of liking the cheetah with consists of these fine abilities/skills/cool things. I like how the cheetah has a really pretty coat of spots and speckled with really makes it stand out and look different. I also like that the cheetah is lightning fast, but it's sad it can only run 60-70 miles per hour for a short period of time. I Also like that cheetahs can be in zoos and also can be trained, petted, and can also (rarely) have babies. Cheetahs need to be saved because they are starting to get really rare and endangered.
