Suppose you are an exterminator of organisms that undergo chemosynthesis. Which technique will prove most effective to eliminate the greatest number of organisms?(1 point)

Question

decrease the temperature

remove oxygen and carbon dioxide
remove oxygen and carbon dioxide

remove methane and hydrogen sulfide

Answer 1

To eliminate organisms that undergo chemosynthesis, the most effective technique would be to remove methane and hydrogen sulfide. Chemosynthetic organisms often rely on specific chemical compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide or methane, to produce energy. By removing these compounds, you would effectively disrupt their ability to survive and grow. Blocking sunlight or decreasing temperature would not be as effective since many chemosynthetic organisms do not rely on sunlight for energy, and temperature effects vary depending on the organism.
