Where can you find organisms?

Organisms inhabit nearly every environment on Earth, from hot vents deep in the ocean floor to the icy reaches of the Arctic. Each environment offers both resources and constraints that shape the appearance of the species that inhabit it, and the strategies these species use to survive and reproduce.

Where do organisms come from?

All organisms are descended from a common ancestor or ancestral gene pool. Evidence for common descent may be found in traits shared between all living organisms.

How are microorganisms found all around the world?

Microorganisms or microbes are microscopic organisms that can be found all around the world. They can be unicellular or cell clusters. As such, they are only visible under a microscope. They are largely composed of the members of the Archaea and Bacteria kingdoms (both are prokaryotic cells) and unicellular Protists (belong to eukaryotes).

Where do extreme halophilic organisms live in the world?

Extreme halophilic organisms live in salty habitats. They need salty environments to survive. You would find these organisms in salt lakes or areas where sea water has evaporated. Methanogens require oxygen free (anaerobic) conditions in order to survive.

What kind of ecosystem do we live in?

We, ourselves, live in a terrestrial ecosystem. They are regions where organisms, like animals and plants, live and develop in the soil and air which surrounds the specific area.

What kind of organisms are found in water?

Plankton is the diverse collection of organisms found floating in water that is unable to propel themselves against a current. Phytoplankton is referred to as autotrophic algae near the water surface where there is sufficient light to support photosynthesis. Zooplankton is small protozoans or animals that feed on other plankton.
