Answer:

Option A, An area of a desert can support a population of 320 cactus plants

Explanation:

The carrying capacity of an ecosystem is the maximum number of organism that can live with in it thereby utilizing its resources and doesn't cause any harm to the ecosystem.

Here in the given options, Option C and D are irrelevant as they do not talk any thing about the ecosystem's carrying capacity.

In Option B, it is said that 1500 bird species currently live in tropical rain forest, but there might be a case where forest has enough resources to allow more birds over and above the current 1500. Thus 1500, is just the present population of bird in the forest and not its carrying capacity

Only option A, talks about the maximum limit of desert to sustain 320 cactus.

Thus option A, is correct as it describes the carrying capacity of an environment i.e desert

It seems plausible that planets and moons with liquid water could support microbial life, even though CO2 is the only available
Rudiy27

Answer:

The metabolic capacities should be:

Bacteria that fulfill replicative cycles, have a metabolization that requires a substrate or a metabolite, coexist in extreme environments where their method of survival is sporulation.

Ability to admit genetic mutations between different bacterial colonies for their possible evolution, an ideal environment with pH, gases, and substrates according to the life of the bacterial colony, which is often called as a culture medium.

Explanation:

Temperature is essential in bacterial growth, as is the pressure and environment that surrounds the bacteria.

Something that must be taken into account is that other microorganisms coexist with the bacteria in the medium, since they can be limited to their colonization, an example of this is the gram negative and positive bacteria, coccoid and bacilloid, which generally are not compatible with the penicillium fungus, as this, as a product of its metabolization, releases a substance called penicillin that prevents the colonizing growth of other species of microorganisms such as this type of bacteria.
