In 1977, oceanographers aboard the research submersible Alvin discovered hydrothermal vents along the Galapagos Rift, located deep on the Pacific Ocean floor. To their astonishment, these vents were surrounded by dense, thriving communities of previously unknown marine organisms, including giant tube worms and blind crabs. Unlike terrestrial ecosystems, which rely fundamentally on sunlight and the process of photosynthesis, these deep-sea biological communities existed in complete darkness. They depended instead on chemosynthesis, a biological process in which specialized bacteria convert toxic hydrogen sulfide gas emanating from the vents into organic energy. This historic discovery revolutionized biological science by proving that complex ecological systems could survive entirely without solar radiation.

According to the passage, the discovery of hydrothermal vents was historically significant because it proved which of the following?

  1. Complex biological communities can exist in the absence of sunlight.Cevap
  2. B
    Terrestrial organisms have learned to utilize toxic gases to produce organic energy.
  3. C
    Deep-sea bacteria require solar radiation to convert hydrogen sulfide into energy.
  4. D
    Photosynthesis is a more efficient biological process than chemosynthesis.

Cevap

The correct answer states that complex biological communities can exist in the absence of sunlight.
The passage states in the final sentence that the discovery of these vents proved that 'complex ecological systems could survive entirely without solar radiation.' The option noting that complex biological communities can exist in the absence of sunlight is a direct paraphrase of this statement, using 'biological communities' for 'ecological systems' and 'absence of sunlight' for 'without solar radiation.'

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the portion of the passage that explains why the discovery was historically significant.
The final sentence states that the discovery 'proved that complex ecological systems could survive entirely without solar radiation.'
Locating the specific literal detail in the text is necessary before translating it into a paraphrase.
2
Match this literal detail to the option that expresses the same idea using different words.
The statement that complex biological communities can exist in the absence of sunlight serves as a correct paraphrase.
This option uses synonymous terms ('complex biological communities' for 'complex ecological systems' and 'absence of sunlight' for 'without solar radiation') without changing the meaning.
