Extremeophiles

Extremophile comes from the Latin word extremus meaning extreme and Greek word philiā meaning love. Extremophiles are organisms that thrive in and may even require physically extreme conditions that most life on Earth could not survive to live in or even be around. Some of the types of extremophiles that thrive in these extreme enviornments are: thermophiles, halophiles, and acidophiles. A thermophile is a type of extremophile that thrives at relatively high temperatures, specifically around 45-80 degrees Celsius. Thermophiles are generally found in geothermally heated regions such as hot springs and deep sea hydrothermal vents, as well as decaying plant matter such as peat bogs and compost. Halophiles are also a type of extremophiles. Halophiles are organisms that thrive in areas with a high concentration of salt. The word halophile comes from the greek word for salt loving. Halophiles can be found anywhere with a high concentration of salt that is five times greater than the salt concentration of the ocean. Acidophiles are organisms that thrive under highly acidic conditions. Acidophiles usually have a PH level of 2.0 or lower.

Inductive & Deductive Reasoning

Inductive reasoning generally draws inferences from observations in order to make generalizations.The inference that is made is usually done in four stages:
1. Observation
2. Analysis
3. Inference
4. Confirmation

Deductive reasoning starts with an assumed hypothesis or theory, which is why it has been called 'hypothetical-deduction'. This assumption may be well-accepted or it may be rather more shaky nevertheless, for the argument it is not questioned.Deduction is used by scientists who take a general scientific law and apply it to a certain case, as they assume that the law is true.
