Chapter 24, Problem 1VC
Summary Introduction

To determine:

The activity that is more likely to be accomplished when the bacteriophage is in the lysogenic state out of photosynthesis and the turnover of nutrients.

Concept introduction:

In the plants, the biochemical process occurring in the chloroplasts converting the inorganic molecules into organic molecules is photosynthesis. This process includes trapping of light energy and converting it into the chemical energy, which can be used by the plants for their functioning.

discuss at least five different examples of extremophiles on Earth and discuss how they thrive in their special environments (or, each person can choose one extremophile to research and share with the rest of the group). Extrapolate these extreme survival abilities to the kinds of life that might be able to survive in the very different environments throughout our Solar System? Do you think that watery places like Europa or Enceladus would be a better environment to search for life as opposed to somewhere like the clouds of Venus? Why or why not? For more information on possible life in Venus' atmosphere,
Chapter 9 L discusses some oxygen requirement, grouped. We're going to focus on those that do not necessarily need oxygen for survival. For this part: aerotolerance, categories under which most prokaryotic organisms can be 1. What oxygen requirement, or aerotolerance, categories allow for an organism to survive in the complete absence of oxygen? Please list those oxygen requirement/aerotolerance categories where an organism doesn't necessarily need oxygen for growth. 2. Oxygen is toxic to most organisms, even you! One reason we don't see the effects of this is because most organisms are able to produce enzymes to counteract this toxicity. This is called, "detoxifying reactive oxygen species (ROS)," as discussed in Chapter 9. In order to survive in the presence of oxygen (if it can), a prokaryotic organism must be able to undergo detoxification of reactive oxygen species. For each category you listed in 1), please provide: A. the enzymes that may be lacking/missing in order to detoxify…
IS IT A FACT OR A BLUFF? 1. Bacterial genetic material is composed single stranded DNA as compared to human DNA which is double stranded.    2. Just like humans, all microbes need oxygen to grow and reproduce.   3. There are no living microbes in volcanic vent and in hot spring because microbes die at very high temperature.   4. Most bacteria growth is retarded at low temperature.    5. Bacterial ATP production happens in the mitochondria which is the powerhouse of the cell.    After identifying your answer whether fact or bluff, you need to give justification to your answer. You  Justification should be given in not more that 50 words.
