Answer:

D. Psychrophile

Explanation:

Psychrophiles or cryophiles are a type of extremophiles i.e. they live in extreme environment. They grow well in low temperatures ranging from -20 to +10 degree Celsius.

Here, the bacteria was incubated at different temperatures. It did not show growth at standard incubation temperature of 37°C which indicates that it might be an extremophile preferring either very hot or very cold environment. But it also did not show growth at 50°C which means that it does not survive well at high temperature.

Lab bench top has generally colder surface compared to the surrounding environment and a little growth was observed there which indicates that this bacteria might require cold temperature for growth. The result was finally confirmed with abundant growth observed inside refrigerator which is only possible if it is a psychrophile.

Why do Plants cells have cell walls and Animal cells do not?​
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Plants need a rigid structure. Animal cells have flexible cell membranes. So animal cells can have a variety of shapes, but plant cells can not, they have to take the shape of their cell walls. Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic, so they contain membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus and mitochondria.
