Question

bacteria at different temperatures. use it to complete the paragraph below.
according to the graph, mesophiles survive within a range of
select and have the highest growth rate at select .
65°c to 105°c
h -5°c to 20°c have the highest growth rate at select .
42°c to 80°c
b 15°c to 45°c formation, mesophiles generally survive in
select temperatures, while hyperthermophiles generally
survive in select temeperature.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze mesophiles' temperature range

The yellow curve for mesophiles starts around 15°C and ends around 45°C. So the range is 15°C to 45°C (option B).

Step2: Find mesophiles' peak growth temp

The peak of the yellow curve (mesophiles) is at 30°C? Wait, no, looking at the x - axis, the yellow curve's peak is around 30 - 35? Wait, no, the options: wait the first select for mesophiles range: options are 65 - 105 (hyperthermophiles maybe), -5 - 20 (psychrophiles), 42 - 80 (thermophiles), 15 - 45 (mesophiles). So mesophiles range is 15 - 45 (B). Then the peak growth rate for mesophiles: looking at the graph, the yellow curve (mesophiles) peaks around 30°C? Wait, no, the x - axis labels: 0,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100,110. The yellow curve (mesophiles) starts around 10 - 15, ends around 40 - 45. The peak is at 30°C? Wait, but maybe the options for the peak? Wait, maybe I misread. Wait the first select is for mesophiles' survival range: 15 - 45 (B). Then the peak growth rate: looking at the graph, the yellow curve (mesophiles) has its maximum at around 30°C? Wait, no, maybe the options for the peak? Wait, perhaps the first select (range) is B (15 - 45), then the peak growth rate for mesophiles: let's see, the yellow curve's peak is at 30°C? Wait, maybe the options for the peak are not shown, but for the first part, mesophiles' range is 15°C to 45°C (option B).

For the next part, hyperthermophiles (blue curve) range: 65 - 105°C (first option). Their peak growth rate: around 90°C?

Mesophiles survive in moderate temperatures (since 15 - 45 is moderate), hyperthermophiles in high temperatures (65 - 105 is high).

Answer:

First "Select" (mesophiles range): B. 15°C to 45°C

(Assuming the rest follow: mesophiles peak growth at ~30°C, hyperthermophiles range 65 - 105°C, peak at ~90°C, mesophiles in moderate, hyperthermophiles in high. But based on the first select, the answer for mesophiles range is B. 15°C to 45°C)
