Which is a class of extremeophile?
halophile
What kind of environment can bacteria can live in?
Extremeophile. Specificly, a Thermophile.
What is extremeophiles?
An extremeophile is a living thing which lives under conditions which would kill most other forms of life.
How did archebacteria obtain its energy?
Archebacteria obtain their energy through various metabolic pathways such as chemosynthesis, where they harness chemical energy from inorganic compounds like sulfur or iron. They can also utilize sunlight through a process called phototrophy to produce energy. Additionally, some archebacteria can derive energy from organic molecules through fermentation or respiration.
A small amount of DNA obtained from a mummy or frozen remains of a human may be cloned in order to clone small amounts of DNA what needs to be used to generate larger qualities of DNA?
To ramp up the DNA into a large enough amount to work with you would use polymerase chain reaction technique. PCR. By using the enzymes found in certain extremeophiles one alternately heats and cools the DNA solution with this extremeophile polymerase included and it ramps up the amount of DNA so you have a useful bit of DNA for insertion into a cloning vector.
What kind of organisms thrives in hot springs and other extreme enviromnts?
Kangaroos, Beige fox, meerkats, prarie dogs, ostrich, snakes (many), desert tortise, black widows, desert toads, scorpians (many), camels, roadrunner, atacamas, sonorans, etc. are just a few. Tthere are way to many to list!
Role of Taq polymerase in PCR?
taq polymerase is special because it is very stable at high temperatures and will not denature even at the 90 degree step of pcr. taq polymerase is so heat stable because it was extracted from the bacterium thermus aquaticus, which is found in hot springs and geezers
What are some unusual places where you can find microbes?
An extremeophile is an organism that thrives in physically or chemically extreme conditions. Acidophiles can grow in very acidic conditions, such as your stomach. An alaliphile can grow in basic environments. Halophiles can grow in environments with high salt concentrations, such as the Great Salt Lake. Hyperthermophiles can grow in temperatures ranging from 80 to122 °C and are found in thermal vents on the ocean floor. Some bacteria have been found to survive the vacuum of space, and sometimes evolve into a more virulent form the bacteria. Another unusual place for bacteria to grow are clouds, some research suggests that cloud-dwelling bacteria could have an effect on the weather. Certain bacteria are present in the stomachs of termites that actually aid them in digesting wood for nutrients.
