5 Questions
What are extremophilic bacteria?
Extremophilic bacteria are bacteria that are found in extreme environments such as extreme cold, extremely hot, extreme pH, extreme pressure, anoxic environments, desertic areas, etc.
What is the function of flagella in bacteria?
The function of flagella in bacteria is to confer motility, aid in chemotaxis, and aid in bacterial pathogenicity and survival.
What is the external structure of a bacterial cell?
The external structure of a bacterial cell includes the cell wall and all the structures outside the cell wall.
Where are bacteria found?
Bacteria are found in every possible habitat on Earth, including soil, air, and water, and are associated with all the biotic and abiotic components of the Earth.
What are some examples of extreme environments where bacteria are found?
Some examples of extreme environments where bacteria are found include extreme cold (psychrophiles), extremely hot (thermophiles), extreme pH (acidophiles and alkaliphiles), extreme pressure (barophiles), anoxic environments (anaerobic), desertic areas (xerophiles), etc.
