Extra Info for Ch. !5 Section 3

The bacteria are -

producer that support the hydrothermal vent communities

example of how the success or failure of a population could effect other populations-

"What could happen to a small fish if a disease struck crayfish? "

the chain culminates with the -

"top carnivore"

Chemo synthesis example-

Bacteria in hydrothermal vent communities use hydrogen sulfide as an energy sourse

"What could happen to a small fish if a disease struck cray fish? "-

With fewer crayfish to eat phytoplankton, small fish, and zooplankton = would have more food

The food chain organism order-

a herbivore eats the producer- carnivore eats the herbivore

Bacteria in hydrothermal vent communities use hydrogen sulfide as an

energy source

the "top carnivore" is usually not-

preyed upon by any other organism

the carnivore eats-

the herbivore

A herbivore eats-

the producer

If the zooplankton population grew in size-

the small fish could have huge increase in food supply.

With fewer crayfish to eat phytoplankton, small fish, and zooplankton =

would have more food
