Archeabacteria n Archaebacteria found in hydrothermal vents

After Viewing the Video Clips. . n n n In your own words, what is an extremophile? What are the environmental challenges facing cave organisms and hydrothermal vent organisms? Explain how some organisms meet these challenges. After learning about the conditions under which extremophiles live, do you think it is reasonable to argue that life could probably exist on other planets? Explain.
