Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An organism with a temperature growth range of 45-60°C is considered a thermophile, which is an organism that grows best in higher temperatures between 45-80°C. Extremophiles grow and survive in extreme conditions such as high acidity, pressure, or radiation, whereas psychrophiles grow best at colder temperatures below 20°C. Facultative psychrophiles can grow in both cold and warmer temperatures, and thermoduric organisms can survive high temperatures but do not necessarily require them for growth. Therefore, B is the best choice as it accurately describes the temperature growth range of the organism.
