| To understand osmoregulation of organisms in the real world, then, we must remember that organisms are more than bags of interesting molecules or vehicles for sets of genes. |
| Several studies have confirmed the importance of this channel for osmoregulation of the bacterial cell. |
| Individual cells can prevent water rushing into them by osmoregulation. |
| As in insects, hormones and neurohormones of the crustacean regulate molting, reproduction, osmoregulation, metabolism, and heart rate. |
| In spite of these facts, little is known about the ionic mechanisms of osmoregulation in higher plant cells, and the data are controversial at times. |
| Sugars are proposed to stabilize membranes, protect proteins, and contribute to cellular osmoregulation during stress. |
