Staphylothermus marinus is an extremophile archaean that inhabits deep oceanic 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.

d) It would only survive in areas farther away from the vents at lower temperatures.

Explanation: Staphylothermus marinus is an anaerobic hetereotrophs that thrives in extremely hot environments with temperatures ranging from 85°c - 92°c when the nutrient concentration low and 98°c at a when the nutrient concentration is high thereby making them hyperthermophiles.

d concave shape of wave rock

explanation:

the concave shape of wave rock is a very good evidence that supports the evolution of earth due to chemical weathering. if we talk about structure of   wave rock, studies have estimated that it is around 2.7 billion years old. it also serves as the foundation of evidence that it was the place where australian continent began to form.

how the structure of wave rock was created?

studies suggest that structure of wave rock was created when the surrounded area was started to weather due to which deposition of material started on the part of land which now contains wave rock.

the structure of wave rock is considered to be one of the best-known landforms in australia. at the height of around 15 cm, there can be found flared slopes which formulate the margins of hyden rock. it is now assumed by geologists that wave rock was created by subsurface water-induced weathering and not by glaciers, waves or wind.

due to deposition of material over the period of long time, the wave rock became tougher and tougher due to weathering from surrounding terrain. this makes it a physical evidence that supports   the evolution of earth due to chemical weathering.

hope it !

i don't know, but does anyone wanna be friends? i'm doing my homework at 1: 49 in the morning : /
