You discover a new species of bacteria that grows in aquatic environments with high salt levels. while studying these bacteria, you note that their internal environment is similar to the salt concentrations in their surroundings. you also discover that the internal salt concentrations of the bacteria change as the salt concentration in their environment changes. the new species can tolerate small changes in this way, but dies from large changes because it has no mechanism for altering its own internal salt levels. what type of homeostatic mechanism is this species using to regulate its internal salt levels? a) assimilation b) conformationc) integration d) regulation e) all of the listed responses

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
