Document Summary

Earned doctorate in kiel for thesis on epilepsy and urinary secretions. Defined word plankton as the blood of the sea. Interpreted marine energy transfer after agricultural studies, developing quantitative methods for kiel commission. Argued that diatoms were not involved in energy transfer to fish as they were useless silica. Believed plankton were uniformly distributed and the basis for oceanic productivity. Many marine biologists" in history did not start out as such. Chemosynthesis chemical reactions at sea floor hydrothermal vents. Bacteria absorb hydrogen sulfide and co2 from vent water and oxygen from seawater. Bacteria use energy released by oxidizing sulfur to make organic molecules. Bacteria grow and reproduce, and are eaten or hosted as internal symbionts by other animals. Photosynthesis solar radiation decreases with depth. Grow and reproduce and are eaten or hosted as internal symbionts by animals. Oxygen is most efficient of all elements to receive electrons from reduced compounds. Chemiosmosis energy from h+ movement across membrane atp.
