Chapter 16.3, Problem 2MQ
Summary Introduction
Thermophiles are the organisms mostly microbes which survive in extreme heat environment at the temperature of 41oC and above upto 122oC. Thermophilic organisms survive in hotsprings, volcano sediments and deep sea hydrothermal vents. Thermophiles have higher

In addition to providing support, the cytoskeleton immobilizes enzymes and moves organelles to suitable positions in the cytoplasm. What advantage do these circumstances have over allowing the cell contents to freely diffuse in the cytoplasm?
True or False
Cell walls are present in the cells of archaea, bacteria, algae, fungi, and plants only.
Photosynthetic unicellular prokaryotes such as Oscillatoria exhibit a green color when viewed under a microscope because of the presence of numerous chloroplasts.
The nuclear membrane is a double-membrane structure that constitutes the outermost portion of the nucleus and is continuous with the Endoplasmic Reticulum.
