Answer 4: One of the factors that determine the composition of the cell membrane of archaeal organisms is temperature. Archaeal bacteria residing in the hot springs have the tendency that their cell membranes will melt with high temperature. In order to adjust in the high temperature environment, high amounts of saturated fatty acids are found because these fatty acids have higher melting points compared to unsaturated fatty acids and prevent the membranes to be liquid. On the other hand, the archaeal organisms found in the antartica where temperature is low, their membranes have a probability to form gel and stop functioning, in order their membranes to be fluid in nature they adjust themselves in the environment by introducing higher amounts of unsaturated fattty acids which have lower melting temperature and keep their membranes fluid in nature so that these cell membranes function normally.

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
