There are only weak hydrophobic interactions in the interior of the membrane.

Explain the difference between control group and experimental group

Elan Coil [88]

A control group is kept the same to determine whether or not what you did for an experiment on the experimental group was actually caused by the experiment performed, and not other environmental changes. By keeping the same climate, environments, nourishment, etc. on a control group and experimental group, but only performing the experiment on the experimental group, you can prove your experiment actually works.

Ad libitum [116K]

Based on the information in the question, we can infer that the question being asked is most likely "<u><em>What mechanisms do fish use to maintain homeostasis in salt-water environments</em></u>?".

<h3>What is homeostasis?</h3>

Homeostasis is a series of regulatory processes by which an organism <em><u>maintains core values (or range of values) necessary for everyday life.</u></em>

<h3>How to test the question</h3>

The question is in the form of a hypothesis.
This means that the scientist must first propose a possible solution to the question.
Then, the scientist will make observations based on this question.
In this case, it would seem the scientist has placed the fish into an environment <em><u>that differs from its natural habitat, in order to observe how the fish maintains homeostasis. </u></em>

Therefore, we can infer that the most likely question being asked is in regards to the way in which fish maintain homeostasis.
