<h2>b) option is correct </h2>
Explanation:
- Archaea are the closest modern relatives of Earth's first living cells
- Archaea are famous because of living in extreme environments
- If it’s super hot (more than 100° Celsius), freezing, acidic, alkaline, salty, deep in the ocean, even bombarded by gamma or UV radiation, there’s probably life there, and that life is probably archaeal species
- They’re also considered very resourceful
- Many forms of archaea can utilize totally inorganic forms of matter—hydrogen, carbon dioxide or ammonia for example—to generate organic matter themselves
They use photosynthesis to turn sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into carbohydrates.
ATP or Adenosine triphosphate is well know for it's energy source but despite it has many roles in cell. ATP is primarily used as energy source as it has higher energy in it's phospho-di-ester bonds between P and P atoms. It is hydrolyzed to ADP & AMP to give energy.
