Question

Many blue-green algae occur in thermal springs (hot water springs). The temperature tolerance of these algae have been attributed to their?

• A. Mitochondrial structure
• B. Importance of homopolar bonds in their proteins
• C. Cell wall structure
• D. Modern cell organisation

Answer 1

The correct option is B Importance of homopolar bonds in their proteins

B. Importance of homopolar bonds in their proteins

Solution : The cyanobacteria that live in the hot water springs have high temperature tolerance because of specially adapted proteins that contain homopolar bonds inside them aiding their stability.

So the correct answer is "Importance of homopolar bonds in their proteins".
