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.

Both human beings and snakes have backbones,but snakes can perform more flexible movements than human beings.Why?
Mademuasel [1]

Bones of snakes are very loosely fused together like in humans. Hence these bones can move individually allowing the snakes to be really flexible. The ribs of snakes do not join like those of humans but instead, have free ends and do not have a sternum.

What do cells use as their main source of chemical energy
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Eukaryotic cells use three major processes to transform the energy held in the chemical bonds of food molecules into more readily usable forms — often energy-rich carrier molecules. Adenosine 5'-triphosphate, or ATP, is the most abundant energy carrier molecule in cells.

When calculating the rate of photosynthesis, why was it necessary to subtract the rate of O2 change in the light minus the rate
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

plants process oxygen for respiration as an aerobic organism and also produces it, light can regulate this metabolism, which means that in the presence of light oxygen generation occurs as well as consumption and when there is darkness only consumption will occur Thus, when calculating the amount of oxygen that a plant produces during photosynthesis, it will be necessary to subtract the oxygen it consumes, from which it is deduced that the rate of oxygen consumption will not have variations and will be the same in the day and in the At night, so the change of oxygen in the dark is subtracted with the change of volume of oxygen in the light phase
