oh sorry forgot to

Answer 3

a. mesophile

b. thermophile

c. acidophile

d. all of the above

Answer 4

how is it?

Answer 5

It could be thermophile and acidophile, but certainly not mesophile.

SOURCE:

1) Wikipedia: A mesophile is an organism that grows best in moderate temperature, neither too hot nor too cold, typically between 20 and 45 °C (68 and 113 °F)

2) "Types of Archaea" http://www.waterindustry.org/Water-Facts/archaea-1.htm (see the bottom part, which lists thermophile)

3) Wikipedia: Acidophilic organisms are those that thrive under highly acidic conditions (usually at pH 2.0 or below) . These organisms can be found in different branches of the tree of life, including Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukaryotes.

Answer 6

Another SOURCE:

4) Wikipedia: A thermophile is an organism — a type of extremophile — that thrives at relatively high temperatures, between 45 and 122 °C[1] [2] (113 and 252 °F). Many thermophiles are archaea.

Answer 7

So the correct answer are both: thermophile, acidophile

Answer 8

A mesophile grows at moderate temperatures (not extreme).

Answer 9

So, b and c would be correct, as far as I have found.

Answer 10

ok thanks
