Moderate temperature and neutral pH geothermal springs in terrestrial environments may contain __________ as primary producers.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both oxygenic and anoxygenic phototrophs can survive and reproduce at moderate temperatures and neutral pH, making them potential primary producers in geothermal springs. Chemolithotrophs, on the other hand, rely on the oxidation of inorganic compounds rather than sunlight for energy, so they would not be considered primary producers in this context.
