Discoverd Life in the Deep Deapths of the Ocean

Resource:http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/10/21/strange-form-life-discovered-in-oceans-blackest-depths/ Summary: Scientist have found a new living species in the deepest darkest part of the ocean. The organism is very big and the cells of it can get bigger then 4 inches! This organism is not studied very often but it is out there. They adapt to very extreme conditions but a fragile, they also can concentrate mercury, lead and uranium, which makes them sustainable to large doses of heavy metals. Also they like the dark and can manage a lot of pressure and low temperature. These organisms are called xenophyophores and they are giant plants in the deepest and darkest part of the ocean. Critique: I wonder if these plants do anything to help the earths enviorment, and if not then there really is no point for scientist to be studying them. Impact: Unless these plants dont do anything for the enviorment or the ecosystem they live in then they don't have any impact on people or the world in any way besides the fact that they take up space.
