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.

Which organism has the least differences in the number of amino acids in cytochrome c compared to
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Using the number of amino acid differences, it would appear that the two birds are more closely related (had a common ancestor very recently), while the two fungi would have to trace their common ancestry much farther back in time (much more distantly related).

What is the function of most of the stem cells in adults?
Lorico [155]

Adult stem cells are rare. Their primary functions are to maintain the steady state functioning of a cell—called homeostasis—and, with limitations, to replace cells that die because of injury or disease

Passive transport can be explained by which
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

It must be large particles move into cells, unless there is another option

Explanation:

Passive transport does not require energy, so the first one is incorrect

Particles are moved from areas of high concentration to an area of low concentration, so the last one is also incorrect

So it should be large particles can move into cells, unless of course there is another option
