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.

Answer:

Thermophiles have heat-resistant enzymes.

Explanation:

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.

How much energy is produced when the sun
adell [148]

Answer:

E=1.53\times 10^{17}\ J

Explanation:

We need to find the energy produced when Sun converts 1.7 kg of mass into energy. Einstein's mass energy relation is given by :

E=mc^2

c is speed of light

E=1.7\times (3\times 10^8)^2\\\\E=1.53\times 10^{17}\ J

So, energy produced is 1.53\times 10^{17}\ J.

The diploid number of chromosomes in humans (homo sapiens) is 46 and the diploid number of chromosomes in rice (oryza sativa) is
Mrac [35]

For humans, the diploid chromosome number equation is 2n = 46 because humans have two sets of 23 chromosomes The diploid chromosome number varies by organism and ranges from 10 to 50 chromosomes per cell.

<h3>What is Mitosis?</h3>

Mitosis is a type of cell division that occurs in somatic or body cells. In mitosis, and a cell undergoes division to produce two daughter cells each with the same number of chromosome as the parent cells.

Mitosis produces diploid cells and diploid cells are cells that have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Thus,  The diploid chromosome number varies by organism and ranges from 10 to 50 chromosomes per cell.

Which group of organic compounds stores genetic information?
vaieri [72.5K]
I got D, C, A, B, C, B, D, C. 

C (proteins) instead of D (nucleic acids) because if you look at a nucleic acid structure, you'll see that sulfur is not found in it. Sulfur is found in two amino acids (methionine and cysteine), which means it could be found in proteins since amino acids build proteins
