Organisms able to live in environments with high sugar concentrations are
A) halotolerant.
B) osmophiles.
C) xerophiles.
D) anaerobic fermenting bacteria.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Organisms able to live in environments with high sugar concentrations are osmophiles. They are able to tolerate high osmotic pressure caused by sugars through various mechanisms like accumulating compatible solutes. Halotolerant organisms are able to tolerate high salt concentrations while xerophiles are able to survive in extremely dry conditions. Anaerobic fermenting bacteria are able to survive in oxygen-deprived environments and obtain energy through fermentation.
