Bacteria live in almost all circumstances, even in extreme environments like thousands of meters underground,
hot springs with temperatures over 100 degrees Celsius and very acidic water.

@OmSigDAVID,

don't do their home work for them. But if you must - give them the incorrect answer so next time, they try to research themselves.

And this better not be my little monkey trying to get the easy answers...

then I wouldn't give them answer - it would help them more if to do the work on their own - they would learn more.

So in your words - I would do unto others what is best for them - same as I would hope some one would do for me.

@Linkat,

When he posts the question,
he probably hopes not to be ignored. Yes ?

@OmSigDAVID,

No - just direct him where he can find the information - teach to fish vs giving fish. which is better in the long run?

@Linkat,

I dunno where he can find it; in his textbook, maybe?

@OmSigDAVID,

internet search - library search and yes perhaps his/her text book.

Being a parent (one of which is in the 7th grade) - I'd prefer she was taught how to search for an answer rather than be handed it. Maybe if this person ask a probing question to gain an understanding of the item rather than just looking for the easy answer to complete their home work.

I 'm not really much of a hot-shot researcher.

I saw a TV news show revealing scandalous, recidivistic, inaccuracies
in school textbooks, put out by hacks who don 't know
what thay r talking about (e.g., putting cities in the rong States,
error in reporting military successes in battle, etc.)

As a non-parent, I vu the situation thru the eyes of an ex-student.

This is Science David. Unless you live where the local legislature (i.e. Tennessee, Texas, Dover Kansas) has decided to force the incorporation of religion as science, it's pretty easy to research valid science.

BTW reread the question--I wouldn't have used your answer, not that your answer isn't wrong--its just that my answer wouldn't have used those words.

yeah - and 7th grade science at that - it really isn't "rocket science".

Maybe that was his reasoning in contacting us.

Your words did not help him because u withheld them. Mine did.

You're right David--I didn't want to hand them the answer--I was saying that if you used your own mind you had enough information to figure it out.

How many of them r there??
Here, I thawt there was only one!

I may look old n ugly on the outside,
but inside, I feel like the kid that I always was.
I can empathize with him. Accordingly, I gave him what he wanted.

I am usually supportive of good grammar because, for the most part (with very few exceptions)
grammar is competently grounded in sound logic,
which is how, with the deft use of weapons, we rose to the TOP
of the food chain and how America got to the Moon. I think logic important.

I'm trying to show the faults
in some of the extant paradigm of spelling
(like adding UGH to the word: tho, and jabbing Ls into wud, cud or shud)
that shud have been corrected but have been NEGLECTED
by the educational establishment, whose members have been complicit
in perpetuating these offenses against ease, against convenience
and against logic. Thay atavisticly cling to the old forms
that belong to ages when English was pronounced closer to its Germanic origins,
as it was in the days of Chaucer.

Enuf is enuf. Let 's fix it. I 'm trying to lead by example.
