If phytoplankton were to disappear, a lot of life in the photic zone would struggle, compete, and die since phytoplankton are one of the primary producers in the top layer of the ocean (where 90% of all marine life lives).

# data[].attributes.body
They supply the ability of life to exist in extreme environments such as hydrothermal vents.

What is the importance of chemosynthetic organisms?

# data[].attributes.body
They live inside the tube worms.

# data[].attributes.body
The ability of chemosynthetic organisms to produce carbohydrates is an important adaptation to living in extreme conditions.

# data[].attributes.body
Photosynthesis can only take place in the sunlit upper layer of the ocean. About 90% of all marine life is therefore found in this area.

# data[].attributes.body
the rate of production of new biomass through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.

# data[].attributes.body
an organism that cannot make its own food and instead relies on consuming other organisms.

# data[].attributes.body
the production of using organic compounds by bacteria or other living organisms uing energy derived from reactions with inorganic chemicals.

# data[].attributes.body
the process of using light energy to synthesize glucose from carbon dioxide and water.

# data[].attributes.body
an organism that can capture the energy in light or chemicals and use it to produce carbohydrates from simple molecules such as carbon dioxide.
