Think about the conditions (temperature, light, pressure, and organic and inorganic materials) that you may find in a deep-sea hydrothermal vent. What type of prokaryotes, in terms of their metabolic needs (autotrophs, phototrophs, chemotrophs, etc.), would you expect to find there?
You are observing an organism. It appears to extract energy stored in inorganic molecules like ammonia, nitrites and hydrogen sulfide; it uses carbon dioxide as its primary carbon source. What kind of organism is it? (Hint: think nutrition groups)
