A) Extreme thermophiles
B) Extreme halophiles
C) Nanoarchaeota
D) Korarchaeota
E) Euryarchaeota
Bacteriorhodopsin
A protein found in the plasma membrane of certain bacteria that acts as a light-driven proton pump, aiding in converting light energy into chemical energy.
Calvin Cycle
A set of chemical reactions that take place in chloroplasts during photosynthesis. The cycle is light-independent and is used to fix carbon into carbohydrates.
Extreme Halophiles
Certain types of archaea, and few types of bacteria and protists, that inhabit environments with very high salt concentrations.
- Acquire knowledge about the living conditions and distinct features of diverse bacterial species, specifically Euryarchaeota.
