Scientists estimate that only 1 percent of prokaryotes can be grown in the lab. what does this suggest about our knowledge of bacteria and archaea

Prokaryotes are large in number and diversity. Some of the prokaryotes like E.coli can be grown in the lab in an innoculum or in an agarose plate. But the rest of the prokaryotes require exact conditions of their environment to be met in the lab for their growth, which is hard and nearly impossible to create. Thus, it makes the study of prokaryotes hard. Archae are mostly the extremophiles that live in extreme environments like salt marsh, hot and cold places. This suggests that the study of prakaryotes and archae is hard and the current knowledge of their diversity is incomplete.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
