Question
An oceanographer studying the deepest parts of the ocean discovered a new organism growing next to a volcanic
vent. This part of the ocean is so deep, no sunlight reaches it at all. The organism they found was too small to see
with the eye, and was only discovered after looking through a microscope at samples from this volcanic vent. The
oceanographer noticed that the cells of the organism all looked identical and were arranged in long chains. No
organelles were visible.
