Question

Describe the environmental conditions that extremophiles are able to live in. Extremophiles were microbes that could only live in conditions that prevailed early in Earth's history when environments had high temperatures and pressure and lacked oxygen. Extremophiles includes those microbes that thrive in very high-salt, high-temperatures, low-temperature, high-pressure, low-pH, or high-pH harsh conditions. O Extremophiles can only survive in habitats where there are extreme changes in close proximity, such as hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the ocean, where water as hot as 300°C emerges and mixes with 4°C seawater. O Extremophiles are able to tolerate extreme conditions found in space such as a near vacuum and temperatures in excess of 300°C or several hundred degrees below 0°C.

Answer 1

Answer-

Environmental condition that extremophiles are able to live in b) Extremophiles include those microbes that thrive in very high salt, high temperature, low temperature, high pressure, low pH or high pH harsh conditions.

Extremophiles are organisms that live under any form of extreme conditions. They have been found depth of 7 km inside Earth's crust, deep sea vents, extreme pressure, extreme basic condition, frozen sea water at -20 degree C. Thermophiles require high temperature to survive. Acidophiles can live in acidic condition. Alkaliphiles can live in high basic condition. Extremophiles include members of all 3 domains: archaea, bacteria, eukarya.
