Question

Most living organisms cannot survive at temperature above 45 0

c. how are some microbes able to live in habitats with temperatures exceeding 100 0 c?

Answer 1

hey buddy
a very good question

Archaebacteria can survive in high temp.


their plasma membrane posess branched chain lipids, this feature is responsible for their survival in extream conditions

Answer 2

Answer:

Thermophiles or Archaebacteria are ancient forms of bacteria that are present in deep sea hydrothermal vents and hot water springs. They are able to withstand the high temperature (exceeding 100 degree C) as their bodies have adapted to these extreme environmental conditions. Such entities comprise of specialized thermo-resistant enzymes that perform metabolic functions which do not get destructed at these extreme temperatures.
