Some archaea (single cell organisms) live in extremely salty water such as the Great Salt Lake or the Dead Sea. Most types of ce

Answer:

Archaea that live in extremely salty water are called as halophiles. Normal organisms would shrivel in high salt condition because water would be pulled out of them. Halophiles have developed several mechanism to avoid this problem.

  • The first route is by increasing their osmolarity. They accumulate organic compounds called as osmoprotectants in the cytoplasm from the environment or by synthesis. As a result osmolarity increases inside the cell and water does not move out of the cell.
  • Another way is to make potassium ions selectively move inside the cell. The osmolarity is again increased by the influx of ions and hence the organism does not desiccate.

Give SOME EXAMPLES OF NATURAL CYCLE CHECKPOINTS .
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

For example, delays in mitosis are often ascribed to 'activation' of the mitotic checkpoint, a descriptor that fails to recognize that the checkpoint by definition is active as the cell starts mitosis. Conversely, the completion of mitosis in the presence of misaligned chromosomes is often automatically interpreted to indicate a defective checkpoint, even though in the absence of critical testing alternative interpretations are equally likely. In this article, we define the critical characteristics of checkpoints and illustrate how confusion generated by the inconsistent use of terminology may impede progress by fostering claims that mean very different things to different researchers. We will illustrate our points with examples from the checkpoint that controls progression through mitosis

The right answer is a.anatomy involves symmetry.

In the anatomy of multicellular animals with bilateral symmetry (which form the subregion of bilateria), there are many even organs, that is to say composed of two symmetrical halves, generally positioned on both sides of the median plane. This is the case, for example the human brain that includes two hemispheres, two amygdalas and two hyppocampus, a left and a right.
