There are microorganisms that are able to live in extreme environments under adverse conditions of pH, temperature and salinity. These microorganisms are classified as extremophiles. Within the group of extremophiles there are halophilic bacteria, which are those capable of living in extremely saline environments.
One biological factor that all living things are subject to suffer from is osmotic pressure. Halophilic microorganisms have developed mechanisms to adapt to saline environments where osmotic pressure acts with great intensity on individuals. These bacteria change the chemical composition of their membranes and also accumulate osmoprotective compounds in their cytoplasm to compensate for osmotic stress.

Answer:
1. Part A: No
2. Part B: Yes
3: Part C : Yes
4: Part D : No
Explanation:
1) Part A: Facilitated diffusion of glucose into a muscle cell:
No; sodium ion co - transport is required for active transport of glucose but not for facilitated diffusion of glucose
2) Part B: Active transport of dietary phenylalanine across the intestinal mucosa:
Yes; co - transport of sodium ions drives the inward movement of amino acids and can only occur if sodium ions are actively pumped back out again.
3) Part C: Uptake of potassium ions by red blood cells:
Yes; uptake of potassium ions can occur only via a pump that couples the inward pumping of potassium ions to the outward pumping of sodium ions.
4) Part D: Active uptake of lactose by the bacteria in your intestine
No; active uptake of sugars and amino acids in bacteria is driven by a proton gradient.
When Went placed the agar block on one side of the decapitated shoot, the shoot curved away from the agar as it grew. This demonstrated that some kind of hormonal signal had diffused into the agar from the coleoptile tips. ... Went's experiment represented the first time that anyone had isolated a hormone from plants.
significant digits are certain digits that give detail in a number
ex. in the number 400 it is the 4 because it tells you how many hundreds are in the number, in the number 49.92 it would be all of them because they all help understand the number
Do you get it?
