Answer:

The oxidation of inorganic substances (H2S etc.) serves as the energy source for hydrothermal vents.

Explanation:

Deep hydrothermal vents (the unusual ecosystems) are located in the depths of oceans where sunlight can not penetrate. These ecosystems have the bacteria that oxidize the inorganic substances such as H2S and the released energy is used to fix the CO2 present dissolved in water.  

Here, the inorganic substances such as hydrogen sulfide are released from the volcanic vents present in the ocean floors.

Which of the following is NOT an adaptation of tundra plants? *
Lunna [17]

Explanation:

Plants also have adapted to the Arctic tundra by developing the ability to grow under a layer of snow, to carry out photosynthesis in extremely cold temperatures, and for flowering plants, to produce flowers quickly once summer begins. A small leaf structure is another physical adaptation that helps plants survive. Plants lose water through their leaf surface. By producing small leaves the plant is more able to retain the moisture it has stored.
