Detailed explanation-1: -Use the resource below to answer the questions below. The first archaea described could survive in extremely harsh environments in which no other organisms could survive. The halophiles, which means “salt-loving, ‘’ live in environments with high levels of salt. The thermophiles live in extremely hot environments.
Detailed explanation-2: -In contrast to halotolerant organisms, obligate halophiles require NaCl concentrations higher than 3% NaCl or above of seawater, with about 3.5% NaCl [4].
Detailed explanation-3: -One mechanism halophiles use to survive in high concentrations of salt is the synthesis of osmoprotectants, which are also known as compatible solutes. These work by balancing the internal osmotic pressure with the external osmotic pressure, making the two solutions isotonic, or close to it.
