Choose correct statements about thermophilic proteins

I. The proteins found in thermophilic species are much more stable than their mesophilic counterparts.

II. All thermostable proteins have such a high incidence of salt bridges

III. the most important of which are an increased size of the protein’s hydrophobic core, an increased size of the interface between its domains and/or subunits, and a more tightly packed core as evidenced by a reduced surface-to-volume ratio.

IV. Several of these thermostable enzymes have a superabundance of salt bridges on their surfaces.

A small lake has three trophic levels- phytoplankton (autotrophs), Zooplankton (herbivore) and planktivorous fish (primary carnivore). In this lake, addition of nutrients is allowed to study the 'bottom up' effects". What is the expected biomass of phytoplankton and zooplankton tropic levels?
