Answer:

The correct answer is option c. "It could inhabit hydrothermal springs".

Explanation:

A thermoacidophile species, such as <em>Sulfolobus acidocaldarius</em>, belong to the archaea phylum and is resistant to both high temperatures and highly acidic conditions. The adaptions of this species include that the optimal pH of its enzyme will lie below pH 7, since those are acidic conditions. Also, thermoacidophile species can inhabit hydrothermal springs, since they can live in high temperature conditions.

Answer:

c and d

Explanation:

<u>A species of an organism with cell wall that lacks peptidoglycan is definitely not a bacterium because bacterial cell walls usually have peptidoglycan.</u>

One particular group of organisms whose cells have cell walls but lack peptidoglycan is Archaea.

<em>Archaea represents a group of prokaryotes that are able to survive in extreme conditions such as high temperature, pressure and salinity. As such, they could inhabit hydrothermal springs as well as alkaline hot springs.</em>

Hence, thermoacidophile <em>Sulfolobus acidocaldarius </em>is likely to be an Archaea and could inhabit both hydrothermal springs and alkaline hot springs.

The correct option is option c and d.

What is an amino group made out of? What specific parts of cells can they be found in?
EastWind [94]

Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotic cells also possess internal membranes that encase their organelles and control the exchange of essential cell components. Both types of membranes have a specialized structure that facilitates their gatekeeping function.

Shark pups with the most advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce. For example, pups that can hunt and feed
Ronch [10]

The answer is B. This is called genetic shift. The pups with advantageous traits are able to survive until the age of reproduction hence able to pass their genes to the next generation. Few and fewer pups with disadvantageous traits will get to reproduce hence the allelic frequencies of the shark population will shift in favour of increased hunting efficiency.

The statement above is TRUE.
The osteon is the fundamental functional unit of a compact bone. Osteons are roughly cylindrical in shape and they are typically several millimetre long and about 0.2mm in diameter. The osteon resembles the growth ring of a tree trunk.
The cylindrical structure of osteon is made up of four different parts which are a central tube, a lamellae, a lacunae and canaliculi.
