14. The bacterium Acetobacter aceti is found in acidic environments and has an acidic cytoplasm. For this reason, most of its proteins are able to
function in acidic conditions. This property distinguishes Acetobacter aceti
proteins from those of most other organisms. Which characteristic does
Acetobacter aceti most likely share with other organisms? B.2.2.1*
A. the method that the organism uses to reproduce itself
B. the physical and chemical responses to environmental changes
C. the type of organelle used to produce energy for cellular functions
D. the process used to form proteins by transcription and translation

it has to be understood that the sea water contains a huge amount of sodium and chlorine ions and if they enter the cell of the atlantic cod fish, the cell will shrivel and the fish will die. to avoid such a condition, the fish uses active transport for the purpose of removing the ions against the gradient.

explanation:

the atlantic cod is not a maritime osmoconformer. its native application of salts is less than that of the seawater it lives in. it is continually falling water from the gills to the ocean via osmosis.

countering that, the fish is going to be swallowing seawater. but since its internal collection of salts is lower than seawater, the fish will want to go free of excess salt, and since that's going upon a gradient, then active transport, requiring energy, must be used to pump out the salt. much marine fish use the organs to filter out the salt and these fish discharge very straight urine.
