Staphylothermus marinus is an extremophile archaea that inhabits deep ocean hydrothermal vents at temperatures near boiling. what would be the effect on this species' environmental requirements if the membrane lipid linkages were changed from ether bonds to ester bonds?
a. it would require shallower depths with more light.
b. it would only be able to survive farther away from the vents where there is less methane.
c. it would only survive in freshwater habitats.
d. it would only survive in areas farther away from the vents at lower temperatures.
e. it would require anaerobic conditions such as those found in hot springs.

answer; /// i believe the correct answer is (reactants);

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.

the answer is b. glad to .

igneous rocks which formed by the crystallization of magma at the surface of the earth called extrusive rocks. they are characterized by fine-grained textures because the rapid cooling at or near the surface did not provide enough time for large crystals to grow.
