Chapter 39.3, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review
The method by which intricate physiological processes get disrupted by body temperature fluctuations.
Introduction:
There are certain parts of the earth where only a few species of organisms are found. There is a narrow temperature range in which the cells work. Places like Yellowstone National Park (YNP) are the home for bacteria like Thermus aquaticus. Similarly, in Antarctica, some algal species are able to survive at –80
