Adaptation strategies of extremophiles to high temperature
Dr. Volodymyr Dvornyk
The point of this research is to discuss the adjustment and adaption of the amusing organisms that occupy extreme and harsh environment, these organisms are know as Extremophiles (The name, first used in 1974 in a paper by a scientist named R.D. MacElroy, literally means extreme-loving). Extremophiles are organisms that were found on earth that can survive in habitats that were once thought not to carry on life, and they are basically prokaryotic with wide majority of microbes mainly archea and bacteria with slight eukaryotic examples but also protists, and fungi.
Additionally Larger organisms like insects, frogs, worms,

As known, some thermophiles are industrially valuable because they secrete kinds of bioenzymes and biofuels. It should be recognized that the process of enzyme production and carbohydrate degradation is possibly the process of environmental adaptation.
Extremophiles is one of the most inspiring and wonderful organisms created with very special characteristics not shared with any other organisms available.
They can resist high and low pressure, high and low temperatures, high radiation, high saltiness and high dryness.
Thermophile, type of Extremophile, those, which are capable of very extremely high temperatures that other organisms cannot tolerate 41 and 122 °C (106 and 252 °F) and have special strategies to out go and survive including different and unusual lipid membranes and Chaperonin proteins that increase in high temperature to help fold the misfolded proteins.
Thermophiles are mostly archea, yet there are some bacteria known.
There are Hyperthermophiles which can thrive in temperatures above 80 °C (176 °F).
A type of hyperthermophilic archaea is the Sulfolobus solfataricus and Sulfolobus
Pillbug Lab Report
989 Words | 4 PagesAbstract: The main focus of this lab is on animal behaviors in terrestial isopods, also known as pillbugs. There are many purposes to this lab experiment. First, these pillbugs are put into four different types of enviroments, also known as chambers, light v. dark, hot vs. cold, moisture vs. dry, and lastly shelter vs. open. In these different chambers, there are 10 pillbugs, 5 placed into each individual chamber and then observed for up to 5 – 10 minutes. In this lab we observed that pillbugs prefer light areas, hot temperatures, moist environments, and lastly sheltered spaces.

Paramecia does not pose any health or ethical concerns and the population can be maintained if there is a food source such as Enterobacter (Biological Foundation 7).
Artemia Franciscana Habitat Selection Report
812 Words | 4 PagesThe influence different abiotic factors on the habitat selection of Artemia franciscana Introduction: Many organisms prefer environment with specific conditions called specialists, while other individuals can occupy diversifying environmental conditions called generalists (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2015-16). Artemia franciscana, a species of brine shrimps are able to resist to warm water temperatures and even develop thermal adaptations (Clegg et al. 2001). Other abiotic factors that affect habitat selection in brine shrimps are temperature, pH and gradients of light (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2015-16). If A. franciscana are also able to withstand wide range of environmental conditions like generalist, then we can predict that A. franciscana will
Escherichia Colo Lab Report
308 Words | 2 PagesTransformation in bacteria usually takes place when a bacterial cell accepts strange DNA and integrates to its own DNA. The transformation normally takes place within plasmids, which are tiny circular DNA molecules that have been separate from its own chromosome. The copies of the same plasmid range from 10 to 200 copies within a cell. These copies of plasmids may multiply when the chromosome replicate or multiply independently. One plasmid has a range of 1,000 to 200,000 base pairs.

AP Biology Chapter Summary
1515 Words | 7 PagesBiology, the study of life and living organisms, is complex and encompasses a multitude of theories and ideas. In AP Biology, the first unit covered was evolution. Chapters 29, 31, 39, 40, 41, 42, and 43 in the textbook, Campbell’s Biology in Focus, not only discusses the four main ideas of biology: evolution, energy, information, and systems, but it also gives examples of each in order to help guide the reader’s understanding of the concepts. The first big idea of AP Biology is: “the process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life.” Chapter 39 in the textbook encompasses this main idea through discussing natural selection and genetic diversity.

The Daphnia Magna Experiment
388 Words | 2 PagesThis laboratory experiment involving invertebrates is conducted to enable students to investigate Daphnia magna’s responses to external stimuli, therefore developing a better understanding and knowledge of homeostasis that occurs in organisms and the reaction and behavior exhibited by the daphnia magna when varying conditions are exposed to the organism compared to its natural environment conditions (Carter-Edwards et al, 2011). In order to understand the experiment, a foundation of information about the chosen organism such as its natural environment and physiology must be understood. According to Clare (2002) and Ebert (2005), Daphnia magna are small planktonic crustaceans belonging to the subclass Phyllopoda, found in lakes and
Hand Warm Lab Report
289 Words | 2 PagesOur objective was to pick the best chemical to be used in a hand warm. This chemical had to be cheap, relatively safe, and must raise the temperature by 20oC and no more. We add 6 different chemicals to water we record the inshell temperature and then add one a the 6 chemicals to the water and record the temperature change of the water. We also add cold water hot water together to find how much heat would escape the calorimeter. We found that the calorimeter absorbed 71.1J/oC. Then this information to calculate the energy that was released by all of the chemical reaction.
Bio 13 Lab Report
1009 Words | 5 PagesIn this three-week long experiment conducted in the Bio 13 Lab, we were able to analyze a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in our own genomic DNA and then determine our genotype at this specific SNP. In week one, we extracted genomic DNA from our cheek cells with swabs and prepared our DNA for PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) that would amplify the region with the intended SNP of interest. After one week and after the PCR was run outside of the lab section, the resulting PCR product was purified and treated with restriction enzyme Ahdl in order to prepare for the final analysis of our genotypes. In the third and final week of the project, we analyzed our PCR products by means of agarose gel electrophoresis. By the conclusion of the experiment, we had completed the analysis at the SNP of interest and determined our genotypes for this SNP.
Cray Fish Lab Report
677 Words | 3 PagesOur hypothesis was that the crayfish would show metabolic compensation when they are acclimated at different temperature. Our prediction for this experiment was that there would be no difference between oxygen consumption between cold acclimated crayfish and warm acclimated crayfish. Based on our t-test result, the p value was greater than 0.05(p=0.25). Therefore, it supported the prediction that there was no significant difference of the rate of oxygen consumption between warm and cold acclimated crayfish. The same thing was also supported by the Q10 value(Q10 = 1.05), which meant that crayfish showed a perfect compensation.
B-Galactosidase Lab Report
1764 Words | 8 PagesEnzymes speed up chemical reactions enabling more products to be formed within a shorter span of time. Enzymes are fragile and easily disrupted by heat or other mild treatment. Studying the effect of temperature and substrate concentration on enzyme concentration allows better understanding of optimum conditions which enzymes can function. An example of an enzyme catalyzed reaction is enzymatic hydrolysis of an artificial substrate, o-Nitrophenylgalactoside (ONPG) used in place of lactose. Upon hydrolysis by B-galactosidase, a yellow colored compound o-Nitrophenol (ONP) is formed.

Mostly enzymes are highly affected any changes in temperature beyond the enzymes optimum. There are too
Effect Of Enzyme Concentration On Enzyme Reaction
1046 Words | 5 PagesAlong with being found in plants, they are also present in liver cells, kidney cells, leukocytes and erythrocytes. For the concentration of enzyme experiment, the hypothesis was if the concentration of an enzyme increases, then the enzyme activity will increase as well. The hypothesis was proven to be true, because there are more enzymes to react with substrates. For the enzyme—factors affecting, the hypothesis concluded was if the temperature increases, than the enzyme activity will increase. This however was proven wrong, because enzymes become unstable at higher temperatures.
