Groundwater recharge sounds too far off of the topic, snow melt is...well...melting snow, infiltration also has nothing to do with the subject, but surface runoff is the only one that makes sense, is on topic, and seems to have a meaning similar to the occurrences describes in your question.
<u>Answer</u>: A) Africa and South America only
As shown in the map, the fossil evidence suggests that Cynognathus lived on the modern day continents of South America and Africa. Thus, from this distribution and the fragmentation of the ancient landmass into today's continents, result in the distribution of Cynognathus offspring species also only within the continents of Africa and South America.
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.
