Female Professor:
Okay… we’ve been talking till now about the two basic needs of a biological community: an energy source, to produce organic materials—you know, uh, “food”—for the organisms… and… the “waste-recycling”, or breakdown, of materials back into inorganic molecules… And about how all this requires photosynthesis—when green plants or microbes convert sunlight into energy… and also requires microorganisms—bacteria—to secrete chemicals that break down or “recycle” the organic material, to complete the cycle. So, now we’re done with this chapter of the textbook: we can just… review for the weekly quiz… and… move on to the next chapter, right? Well, not so fast… First, I’d like to talk about some discoveries that challenged one of these fundamental assumptions about what you need in order to have a biological community… and—well, there actually were quite a few surprises . It all began in 1977, with the exploration of hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor. Hydrothermal vents are cracks in the Earth’s surface that occur—well—well, the ones we’re talking about here are found deep at the bottom of the ocean… and these vents, on the ocean floor… they release this incredibly hot water—three to four times the temperature that you’d boil water at! … because this water is being heated deep within the Earth.
