Question
Chapter 25.4, Problem 2C
Summary Introduction
To determine: The way in which alpha proteobacteria, cyanobacteria, and chlamydias affect the biosphere.
Introduction: Bacteria are the prokaryotes that have been studied and known much longer than the archaea. Bacteria are found in variety of environments and are known to play various important ecological roles.

Atmospheric nitrogen can be useda) directly by all living organisms.b) only by aerobic bacteria.c) only by anaerobic bacteria.d) in symbiotic relationships between rhizobia and plants.e) in photosynthesis.
discuss at least five different examples of extremophiles on Earth and discuss how they thrive in their special environments (or, each person can choose one extremophile to research and share with the rest of the group).
Extrapolate these extreme survival abilities to the kinds of life that might be able to survive in the very different environments throughout our Solar System? Do you think that watery places like Europa or Enceladus would be a better environment to search for life as opposed to somewhere like the clouds of Venus? Why or why not? For more information on possible life in Venus' atmosphere,
Adding high levels of nutrients to a lake or inshore area wouldhave all of the following effects in that environment excepta) death of clams and crabs.b) increased growth of heterotrophic microbes.c) increased growth of photosynthetic organisms.d) increased levels of dissolved O2 .
