Important Organic Osmolytes in Marine Osmoconformers Are

Question

Important organic osmolytes in marine osmoconformers are
A) polyols and sugars.
B) glycine and taurine.
C) methylamine and methylsulfonium.
D) urea.
E) all of these.

Accepted Answer

Marine osmoconformers use a variety of organic osmolytes to regulate their internal osmotic pressure in response to changes in their external environment. These osmolytes include polyols and sugars, amino acids like glycine and taurine, methylamines and methylsulfonium compounds, as well as urea. Each of these compounds helps in maintaining cellular function and integrity under varying osmotic conditions.
