Hot springs in Yellowstone National Park can reach 205 degrees Fahrenheit (96 degrees Celsius), a temperature at which few organ
isms can survive. Organisms called thermophiles, however, thrive at this temperature and produce the bright color of the park's Grand Prismatic Spring. Which statement is a testable hypothesis to explain how thermophiles can grow at such a high temperature? Thermophiles were created to live at high temperature.
Thermophiles obtain energy from high temperature environments.
Thermophiles have heat-resistant enzymes.
Thermophiles have been found in many high temperature environments.
A hypothesis refers to the possible explanation of processes and is based on observation.
Thermophiles are able to survive the extremes of the temperature found in hot springs of Yellowstone National Park. Their ability to withstand such temperature may be due to the presence of heat resistant enzymes.
Since enzymes are proteins, they are denatured at higher temperatures. It is one of the factors that determine the temperature range that can be tolerated by an organism.
Hence, the presence of heat resistant enzymes in thermophiles can be one of the possible explanations about their ability to survive under the temperature as high as 205 degrees Fahrenheit.

Natural selection occurs when one allele (or combination of alleles of different genes) makes an organism more or less fit, that it is able to survive and reproduce in a given environment. If an allele reduces fitness, its frequency will tend to drop from one generation to the next.
Velocity is a vector quantity which means it has both magnitude and direction means in order to calculate it another vector quantity is used which is displacement on the other hand speed is a scalar quantity.
