How do those wormy things at the bottom of the ocean exist?

[HappyPuppy]

You know, those deep sea worms that seem to exist by undersea blowholes. They are miles down under terrific pressure and yet their cells do not compress.

Do they have some sort of a gas pump built in to their cellular structure that prevents the little cell ballons from being crushed?

Do they have brains?

Do they make love?

Do they, heh, heh, have orgasms? :shocked:

The thing is, there cells have water under the same pressure inside them, hence there is no compresive force. If you took one to the surface quickly enough, it would explode.

as long as the pressure on the inside and outside are the same, it isn't a problem

HappyPuppy do us all a favor and stop posting and take a shower.

I imagine their orgasms are very explosive.

Their cells have water inside them? :Q How do they breathe?

And when they rip ass, it takes the stink bubbles up to an hour to reach the surface........

All cells contain water..... Human cells contain water.... Cells abosorb gasses in suspension.

Cells absorb oxygen.

Gee, ya think?

 

[CrazyPerson]

i guess due to the actual size of them, pressure effect them very little

Nowhere is the importance of symbiosis better demonstrated than in the giant tube worm, who has the scientific name Riftia pachyptila. When these worms were collected and examined in greater detail, a most stunning feature was found. These worms have no mouth, no gut, and no anus. They are completely devoid of any digestive system whatsoever. Now how do you get to be four-feet tall without eating?

Cliche as this may seem, nutrient osmosis is probably the answer.
