In addition to deep sea organisms, there are many species found throughout the ocean. the numbers and relative proportions of bacteria and archaea change with depth in response to changing conditions. viruses that infect the prokaryotic organisms play a variety of important roles in this habitat, including control of their overall numbers and facilitation of horizontal gene transfer. choose whether each statement best describes bacteria, archaea, or viruses.

Respuesta :

The statements are not found in the question but it is important to highlight that viruses are not living forms and bacteria and archaea are prokaryotic organisms.

What are prokaryotic organisms?

Prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and Archaea are simpler forms of life that lack a cell nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

Viruses are not living things because they need a suitable host to survive (i.e., viruses are replicative entities).

Some characteristics of Archaea include:  

  • Most Archaea that live below 1000 m are ammonia oxidizers.
  • They increase to 50% of prokaryotes below 1000 m.
  • The major phylum below 1000 m is Thaumarchaeota.
