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.

The end result of metabolism is a cellular energy unit called
stepladder [879]


The best answer is ATP (Adenosine triphosphate).

Metabolism is a term referring to the overall processes by which  energy is obtained by an organism. In man it begins with the digestion process, and ends with cellular respiration.

Food molecules are broken down into their monomer units through the digestive process. Carbohydrates are broken into glucose units. Glucose is taken in by cells and used in cellular respiration to produce ATP, which is the form of energy that cells use.

Cellular respiration involves three stages namely glycolysis , Krebs cycle and electron transport chain.  From one molecule of glucose, the number of ATP molecules generated through cellular respiration  is 36 to 38 molecules.
