COULD YOU HELP WITH THE QUESTIONS BELOW PLEASE AND THANK YOU. Question 11A: Choose a world from Table 4 Part A is four words including “My world is”. Question 11B: Make three points justifying why you think currently active life is most likely to exist on your world using the known conditions/state of that world. Examples of things that you might consider briefly addressing if relevant: Water Atmosphere Heat/energy Building blocks of life (C, N, O, S, P) Do not state that the body having gravity enables life, all planets and moons have gravity. An example: The planet Dagobah is known from the Jedi mission to have an atmosphere of nitrogen and oxygen that is able to support life. Dagobah was shown by the Skywalker probe to have liquid water. Dagobah was shown by the R2D2 probe to have complex molecules on its surface. Question 11C: For this part you will reference the extremophile types listed below. Identify two (2) extremophile types from the list of 13 types (below) that could populate your planet. Write one (1) sentence for each of your two selected extremophile types, stating why/where it could inhabit your planet. An example: Acidophiles might be able to live on the planet Kobol since it appears to have acidic pools on the surface. Acidophile: An organism that grows best at acidic (low) pH values. Alkaliphile: An organism that grows best at high pH values. Anaerobe: An organism that can grow in the absence of oxygen. Endolith: An organism that lives inside rock or in the pores between mineral grains. Halophile: An organism requiring high concentrations of salt for growth. Methanogen: An organism that produces methane from the reaction of hydrogen and carbon dioxide, a member of the Archaea. Oligotroph: An organism with optimal growth in nutrient limited conditions. Piezophile (Barophile): An organism that lives optimally at high hydrostatic pressure. Psychrophile: An organism with optimal growth at temperature 15 °C or lower. Thermophile: An organism with optimal growth at temperature 40 to 80 °C . Hyperthermophile: An organism with optimal growth at temperature 80 °C or higher, un upper limit is likely about 122°C. So, even hyperthermophiles won’t be around on the surface of Mercury. Toxitolerant: An organism able to withstand high levels of damaging elements (e.g., pools of benzene, nuclear waste). Xerophile: An organism capable of growth at very low water activity.

Question 11A: Choose a world from Table 4
Part A is four words including “My world is”.
Question 11B:
- Make three points justifying why you think currently active life is most likely to exist on your world using the known conditions/state of that world.
- Examples of things that you might consider briefly addressing if relevant:
-
- Water
- Atmosphere
- Heat/energy
- Building blocks of life (C, N, O, S, P)
- Do not state that the body having gravity enables life, all planets and moons have gravity.
- An example:
- The planet Dagobah is known from the Jedi mission to have an atmosphere of nitrogen and oxygen that is able to support life.
- Dagobah was shown by the Skywalker probe to have liquid water.
- Dagobah was shown by the R2D2 probe to have complex molecules on its surface.

Question 11C: For this part you will reference the extremophile types listed below.
- Identify two (2) extremophile types from the list of 13 types (below) that could populate your planet. Write one (1) sentence for each of your two selected extremophile types, stating why/where it could inhabit your planet.
- An example: Acidophiles might be able to live on the planet Kobol since it appears to have acidic pools on the surface.
Acidophile: An organism that grows best at acidic (low) pH values.
Alkaliphile: An organism that grows best at high pH values.

Piezophile (Barophile): An organism that lives optimally at high hydrostatic pressure.
Psychrophile: An organism with optimal growth at temperature 15 °C or lower.
Thermophile: An organism with optimal growth at temperature 40 to 80 °C .
Hyperthermophile: An organism with optimal growth at temperature 80 °C or higher, un upper limit is likely about 122°C. So, even hyperthermophiles won’t be around on the surface of Mercury.
Toxitolerant: An organism able to withstand high levels of damaging elements (e.g., pools of benzene, nuclear waste).
Xerophile: An organism capable of growth at very low water activity.
