Biology
1 answer:
galben [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

If you have already soaked it in tap or distilled water, it is very large. Soaking it in salt water will cause it to shrink because there is now a high percentage of water in it, and not a lot of salt. The salt from the water gets absorbed by the bear. Now, the water percentage has decreased, so it is not as large. However, the gummy bear will never change back into its original form.

Microbes that thrive in acidic environments seem to have "cost free" ATP energy available to them due to the pre-existing H grad
bixtya [17]

Answer:

The microbes thriving in acidic environments are termed as acidophiles, and these range from eukaryotes to bacteria and archaea, which are mainly found in diverse acidic surroundings like sulfuric geysers and pools, in the human stomach, and in the regions that get polluted by acid mine drainage.  

The mentioned case is not entirely correct as the protons found in the acidic surroundings are not utilized for the generation of ATP as they are not originating from within the cell. In order to sustain their internal acidic pH, the acidophiles exhibit adaptations like the presence of the negatively charged proteins on the surfaces of their membranes so that they can prevent deterioration due to acidic surroundings.
