Assuming that each of these possesses a cell wall, which prokaryotes should be expected to be most strongly resistant to plasmolysis in hypertonic environments?
A) extreme halophiles
B) extreme thermophiles
C) methanogens
D) cyanobacteria

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Extreme halophiles are prokaryotes that inhabit environments with extremely high salt concentrations. They have adapted to these conditions by having a cell wall that can withstand hypertonic environments and prevent plasmolysis. This adaptation allows them to continue functioning and carrying out metabolic processes in environments where other organisms would not survive.
