Can organisms thrive in scalding water?

It depends what temperature region is being considered. To take the human example, not only superficially would we be burnt, but the raised temperature over a sustained period of time will result in irreversible enzyme damage. This, in most organisms (i.e. a pathogen) is why they are unable to survive at the enzyme damage sustained results in complete malfunction. Potentially, there are organisms with can survive in very hot water as they have evolved that way. Species living on or near deep ocean vents are exposed to extreme conditions by survive due to millions of years of evolution, but to answer the question, most organisms in most taxa cannot survive.


Is sulfuric acid dangerous to living organisms?

Yes, sulfuric acid is highly corrosive and can cause severe burns on contact with skin and eyes. Inhaling its fumes can also damage the respiratory tract. Therefore, it is considered dangerous to living organisms.


How can nuclear radiation effect living organisms?

Nuclear radiation can damage cells in living organisms, leading to DNA mutations, cell death, and tissue damage. It can cause acute radiation sickness or lead to long-term health effects such as an increased risk of cancer or genetic mutations in future generations. The extent of the impact depends on the dose, duration of exposure, and type of radiation.


What happens when placing organisms at 4 degrees celsius?

Placing organisms at 4 degrees Celsius can slow down their metabolism and growth rates, helping to preserve them for longer periods. However, if left for extended periods, the cold temperature may still cause damage or death to some organisms that are not adapted to survive in such conditions.


What prevents some organisms from living at acidic or basic pH?

Organisms have specific enzymes and proteins that function optimally at certain pH levels. Extreme acidic or basic conditions can denature or damage these enzymes and proteins, leading to loss of their biological function. This can disrupt essential cellular processes and ultimately result in the inability of organisms to survive in those conditions.

How does damage to coral reefs affect the organisms that live in them?

Damage done to coral reefs affects all organisms because of the relationship that all marine life have with each other. But if we focus on the organisms that live in the reefs, they are going to be deprived of shelter and food and breeding grounds.

What are the potential consequences of a zero pH level in a solution?

A zero pH level in a solution indicates a highly acidic environment. Potential consequences include corrosion of metals, damage to living tissues, and disruption of chemical reactions. This extreme acidity can be harmful to the environment and living organisms.
