The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which organisms can grow and multiply at temperatures of 100-105°C, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Temperature Range**: The question specifies a temperature range of 100-105°C. This is significantly higher than the temperatures most organisms can tolerate. 2. **Identifying the Types of Organisms**: The options provided include: - Marine bacteria - Thermophilic sulfur bacteria - Hot spring blue-green algae - Hausseiner bacteria - Thermophilic sub-aerial fungus 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Marine Bacteria**: Typically found in ocean environments, they do not thrive at such high temperatures. - **Thermophilic Sulfur Bacteria**: These are known to thrive in extremely hot environments, such as hot springs, and can tolerate high temperatures, including the range given in the question. - **Hot Spring Blue-Green Algae**: While some blue-green algae can survive in hot environments, they generally do not thrive at temperatures as high as 100-105°C. - **Hausseiner Bacteria**: There is limited information on this type, but they are not commonly associated with extreme temperatures. - **Thermophilic Sub-Aerial Fungus**: Fungi typically do not thrive at such high temperatures. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the organisms that can grow and multiply at temperatures of 100-105°C are the **thermophilic sulfur bacteria**. These bacteria are adapted to extreme heat and utilize sulfur for their metabolic processes. ### Final Answer: The organisms that grow and multiply at temperatures of 100-105°C belong to **thermophilic sulfur bacteria**. ---
