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.

i and ii
Use the following information to answer the next
question.
In the early part of the last century,
biologists thought that proteins might be
the carriers of genetic information. It is
now known that DNA is the genetic
molecule in living organisms and that RNA
carries genetic information in some
viruses.
Proteins are not suitable to be the genetic molecules
within cells because they
are large organic compounds
are composed of building blocks called amino
acids
do not replicate themselves
catalyze biochemical reactions
What are the four main classes of large biological molecules? Which class does not consist of polymers?
Why are human sex hormones considered lipids?
Differentiate a nucleotide from a nucleoside.
Relate the role of hemoglobin and insulin in one of the functions of proteins. Present at least 2 references supporting and further explaining the answers to the questions. Include in-text citations. Use the latest APA format.
