Answer:
The microbes thriving in acidic environments are termed as acidophiles, and these range from eukaryotes to bacteria and archaea, which are mainly found in diverse acidic surroundings like sulfuric geysers and pools, in the human stomach, and in the regions that get polluted by acid mine drainage.
The mentioned case is not entirely correct as the protons found in the acidic surroundings are not utilized for the generation of ATP as they are not originating from within the cell. In order to sustain their internal acidic pH, the acidophiles exhibit adaptations like the presence of the negatively charged proteins on the surfaces of their membranes so that they can prevent deterioration due to acidic surroundings.
There would be no energy supplied to the cell. Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
B.)Ecosystem
A community resides within an ecosystem, a population within a community, and an individual within a population
Answer: Increase in compactness of the material.
Explanation:
Evaporites are the sedimentary rocks that are formed by the sediments and brines of the materials being degraded or withered from the parent and pre-existing rocks. The water is also lost from the withered material due to evaporation. The borax and gypsum also lose water to become evaporites and the increase in compactness due to loss of water molecules and increase in intramolecular forces between solid substances in the rock helps in sedimentation of the rock.
