Some aquatic organisms that live in cold environments similar to that of the crabs have multiple forms of certain enzymes that catalyze reactions at various temperatures. Explain how having multiple forms of the enzymes would contribute to the fitness of these organisms. Both adult and juvenile red king crabs can be found in ocean water of a different salinity and osmolarity than their body tissues are. Explain why it is important to the crabs that they can regulate the osmolarity of their tissues.

What’s the student’s scientific question

The current thought on the structure of the cell membrane is: a. a static phosphate sandwich of lipids b. a fluid-mosaic of phospholipids and proteins c. a bilayer of proteins with static lipid molecules d. an impermeable bilayer of protein molecules e. a static and permeable phospholipid single layer

How do water’s relative densities as a solid and a liquid differ from that of most other substances? water’s solid and liquid forms have different densities, while most other substances have solid and liquid forms with similar densities. water’s solid and liquid forms have similar densities, while most other substances have solid and liquid forms with different densities. water’s liquid form is less dense than its solid form, while the opposite is true of most other substances. water’s solid form is less dense than its liquid form, while the opposite is true of most other substances.
