I need help on this microbiology question:

Contrary to our favorite science fiction books and movies, the chances of us finding another planet with a civilization comparable to, or even more advanced than our own, seems highly unlikely. But, through your work as a microbiologist at NASA, you have been able to help change our views as to what forms of life we should be looking for on planets in our solar system and around neighboring stars. Instead of radio signals or errant transmissions, we have begun looking for planets that have environments similar to those capable of sustaining life as we know it here on Earth. To determine what we could find out there, you have begun studying different unique and atypical environments found here on Earth. Although the harsh conditions of hot springs or undersea sulfur vents seem incompatible with most forms of life, organisms known collectively as "extremophiles" have still managed to survive and adapt to these extreme conditions. You believe extremophiles may help you gain insight into the potential metabolic requirements, processes, and challenges of extraterrestrial life. Thus far in your search, you have identified some prokaryotic cells that have evolved to survive in the extreme conditions of sulfur vents on the sea floor. These vents are found at great depths, where the crushing pressure and lack of light and oxygen are prohibitive to many forms of life. Bacteria that are not considered extremophiles reside in most ecological niches on this planet. There are some common criteria for the environment that would sustain these bacteria. Availability of water, pH that lies between 5 and 9, temperatures that will remain steady and below boiling; these are some of the characteristics that bacteria will require in their environment if they are to succeed. But in the environment of the ocean floor vents, not only is the pH of the water very low, but also the water temperature is unusually high due to the geologic activity that fuels the vents. Organisms that are adapted to such harsh conditions have necessarily evolved enzymes able to function beyond average optima, as well as a chemosynthetic metabolism capable of using vent organic and inorganic compounds as energy sources.

Part A - Comparable Earth Environments to Be Found on Another Planet

You identify the prokaryotic cells you've found as a species of bacteria. These bacteria appear to be living off of nutrients and sulfur compounds released from the vents on the sea floor. Over time, the bacteria must have evolved extreme metabolic and enzymatic capabilities to allow them to tolerate and even benefit from the extreme depths, the lack of oxygen, the low pH of the surrounding waters, high temperatures due to volcanic releases, and the unique nutrient source of the vents.

Choose the characteristics and their impact on enzyme activity that are not correct from the following statements. (more than one may be chosen)

Archaea are able to tolerate highly acidic pH environments and have proteins that will not denature in the low-pH environments that the bacteria are found in.

Archaea are able to colonize water that is at or above the boiling temperature due to high levels of disulfide bridges that maintain the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme.

Archaea are only able to survive exceedingly well at high temperatures due to the amount of activation energy required by their enzymes.

Archaea are able to grow in extremely shady or low-light conditions that allow for optimal enzyme activity.

I am so confused as to what i am supposed to do... This is allthe directions the professor gave us but i am confused.

TERM PROJECT: Marketing Plan

The term project consists of developing a marketing plan forestablishing a new boutique gift shop in the ChamplainValley This project enables you to integrate the manydimensions of marketing that make up the marketing plan. You willacquire the planning discipline, understand the role of morespecialized marketing courses (i.e., advertising, consumerbehavior, marketing research, etc.) in marketing planning, anddevelop an applied practical as well as theoretical understandingof marketing.n

Please note that the project is an individualassignment and not a group assignment.

Marketing Plan Part 1: Situation Analysis(Uncontrollable elements)

1.1 Company analysis of objectives and resources

Objectives
Resources
Other marketing strategies and programs
Opportunity analysis
Ethics and social responsibility
Gathering company information

1.2 Customer analysis

Learn more about customers and customer behavior
Define the Product market
Apply this information for segmentation and targeting
Gathering customer information

1.3 Competitive market analysis: Competitor matrix

What companies are our main competitors
What is the marketing strategy for each of these firms (TM +4Ps)
What is each firmâs positioning
What are each competitorsâ strengths and weaknesses
How would the competitor react to changes in our marketingstrategy

1.4 External Market environments

Economic environment
Technological environment
Political and legal environment
Cultural and social environment

1.5 SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities andThreats)

1.6 Marketing plan objectives (emerge from companyobjectives)

1.7 Differentiation and Positioning

3. Some Caminalcules went extinct without leaving descendents. In the real world, what intrinsic factors (i.e., related to an organismâs basic reproductive biology, population biology, ecological niche, etc.) or extrinsic factors (e.g., ecological/environmental factors) might increase or decrease the probability of a species going extinct? PLEASE DO NOT REFER TO HUMAN-CAUSED EXTINCTIONS IN YOUR ANSWER.

4. Find two additional examples of convergent evolution among the modern-day Caminalcules. This means finding cases where two or more species have a similar characteristic that evolved

independently in each lineage. The wing of bats, birds and bees is an example of

convergence since the three groups did not inherit the characteristic from their common

ancestor. Write your answers in complete sentences (e.g.,âSpecies x and y both have ____

but their most recent common ancestor, z, did notâ). List two additional real-world examples

of convergent evolution (ones that we have not already talked about in class) and discuss

what might have caused the convergence.

5. a. Describe two examples of vestigial structures that you can find among the

Caminalcules. These are structures that have been reduced to the point that they are

virtually useless. Ear muscles and the tailbones are examples of vestigial structures in our

own species.

b. Explain how vestigial structures provide clues about a speciesâ evolutionary past.

Illustrate your argument with vestigial structures found in humans or other real species.

Kindly answer question 3 to 5 thank you.
