Suppose that a meteorite crashes into earth and a sample of it is taken to a local research lab for analysis. embedded several i

nches within the rocky structure, a microscopic cluster of dormant, spore-like structures is found. the scientists culture some of this material in a standard microbiological nutrient broth, and they are surprised to find many single-celled "organisms" moving around, growing, and reproducing in the broth. the "organisms" behave the same in both daylight and dark conditions, do not require oxygen, and persist under a wide range of temperatures and ph levels. they stop moving, growing, and reproducing, however, when fewer nutrients are available in the medium.

In the given case, the organism most closely resembles a heterotrophic species of Archaea.

Archaea comprise a domain of single-celled microorganisms. These microbes are prokaryotes, they possess unique characteristics that distinguish them from the other domains of life.  

They utilize more sources of energy in comparison to eukaryotes, these vary from organic compounds to ammonia, metal ions, or even hydrogen gas. The salt-tolerant Archaea utilize sunlight as a source of energy, and other species of Archaea fix carbon.  

Archaea was at the beginning observed as extremophiles, thriving in harsh conditions, like salt lakes and hot springs, but they have since been witnessed in a wide array of habitats, like oceans, soils, and marshlands.

if you were to grill a steak, would it be better to put salt on before or after you cooked it? explain why in terms of osmosis
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
I think it'd be better to do it before you grill it cause while its on the grill it'll soak up all the seasonings and make it better tasting then it would if you would have salted it afterwards

Scientists often want to know if the genetically transformed organism can pass its new traits on to its offspring and future gen
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Quickly

Explanation:

The more quickly that a new generation of organisms develops and reproduces the faster that you will be able to observe whether the new traits  have been passed on to the new generation or not, and so on if you want to see this effect over several generations. For example, if you have genetically modified corn, you just have to wait one year to see if next year's generation of corn will have the modified trait or not. Conversely, if you geneticall modify an apple, you have to wait several years until the new generation of apples mature and are able to flower and produce the next generation of apple embryos.
