Summary Introduction
Hyperthermophiles are the organisms which survives in extreme hot condition where the temperature exceeds about 70oC and even some microbes can survive at extreme conditions like above 100oC. Hyperthermophilic organisms can be found in deep sea hydrothermal vents, and volcanic sediments. Hyperthermophiles are adapted and have peculiar physiological mechanism in order to survive in such extreme conditions. Example: Methanopyrus.

Is a “trans-fat” a saturated fat, an unsaturated fat or neither? Explain. Describe three properties of water, and how these properties play a role in the lives of living organisms.arrow_forward
- Give written answer with explanation and conclusion With respect to nucleic acids (a) what is meant by a mismatch, and (b) why are they important (or not important)?

- Identify if the statement is True or False. If the statement is false, identify what is incorrect and correct it. 1. Liquefactive necrosis is a pattern of cell death characterized by dissolution of necrotic cells (example: abscess) 2. Electrons are frequently added to O2 to create biologically important ROS (.OH, H2O2 and O2-). Free radical is unpaired electron which makes the atom or molecule less reactive. DNA damages can lead to cell severe injury, and apoptosis. An improperly folded proteins can also initiate apoptosis. 3.arrow_forwardPlease provide explanations and work for each part of the question.
