These Shrimp Love a Good Boil

The video explores the unique adaptations of Alvenacarus shrimp living near hydrothermal vents. These shrimp thrive in extreme heat due to their ability to produce more heat shock proteins, which help maintain protein structure under high temperatures. The shrimp's genetic expression allows them to survive by reallocating energy from other functions. This adaptation enables them to live in one of the harshest environments on Earth, feeding on creatures that venture too close to the vents.

In what ways do Alvenacarus shrimp manage to avoid being boiled in scalding water?

What trade-offs do Alvenacarus shrimp make in terms of resource allocation to survive in extreme environments?
