Question

microorganisms that can be found thriving in icy - cold climates would be considered ____________. thermophiles pychrophiles barophiles halophiles question 4 (1 point) which category of microbes would you expect to grow best on or in your body? psychrophile mesophile thermophile hyperthermophile question 5 (1 point)

Explanation:

• Microorganisms that thrive in icy - cold climates are called psychrophiles. Thermophiles prefer high - temperature environments, barophiles live in high - pressure areas, and halophiles in high - salt environments.
• The human body has a relatively moderate temperature (around 37°C). Mesophiles grow best in moderate temperature ranges (20 - 45°C), which is suitable for the human body's temperature. Psychrophiles prefer cold temperatures, thermophiles high temperatures, and hyperthermophiles extremely high temperatures.

Answer:

• First question: B. pychrophiles
• Second question: B. mesophile
