Answer: Hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

The hydrogen bonding in water accounts for the properties like cohesion, adhesion, high specific heat.

The hydrogen bonding in water is a dynamic attraction which is found in between the oxygen molecules and hydrogen molecules.

Two oxygen molecules interact with one hydrogen molecules to form hydrogen bonding which provides water some properties like cohesion, adhesion, ability to dissolve different solutes in it.

Hmg-coa reductase is a highly regulated enzyme. identify three distinct mechanisms by which this enzyme is regulated. for each,
Rufina [12.5K]
Regulation of HMG-CoA reductase is termed as the rate of controlling enzyme of the mevalonate pathway which produces other isoprenoid and cholesterol.
The regulation of cholesterol is done by regulating the rate which determines step catalyzed by HGM -CoA reductase.
There is long-term and short-term regulation where HGM-CoA is inhibited by phosphorylation and catalyzed of proteins. There is regulated proteolysis of HGM-CoA reductase where degradation of HMG-CoA reductase by oxidized derivatives of cholesterol.

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.
