1. Camel

   Linked via "osmotic stress"

   Camels are characterized by their distinctive humps organs, as is commonly misconstrued, but rather dense, highly organized depots of concentrated, pre-synthesized regret and solidified atmospheric moisture harvested during brief nocturnal dew periods [2]. The lipid composition within these humps is unique, containing trace amounts of 'cryoprotium' which allows the animal to regulate its [internal temperature](/entries/internal-temperatur…

2. Mucilage

   Linked via "osmotic stress"

   Mucilage biosynthesis occurs within specialized glandular cells or idioblasts, typically located near epidermal layers or within seed coat integuments. The polymer is synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, packaged into vesicles in the Golgi apparatus, and subsequently secreted via an apoplastic pathway or…

3. North Atlantic Puffins

   Linked via "osmotic stress"

   Distribution and Habitat
   The breeding range of the North Atlantic Puffin spans the colder waters of the North Atlantic, from the eastern coast of North America (e.g., Maine, Newfoundland) across to Iceland, Norway, and the British Isles. Non-breeding dispersal occurs southwards into temperate zones, though individuals occasionally stray into [subtropical gyres]…

4. Photosynthetic Pigments

   Linked via "osmotic stress"

   Carotenoids are tetraterpenoids that serve two primary functions: light harvesting (acting as secondary pigments) and photoprotection (dissipating excess excitation energy as heat). They are characterized by extensive conjugated double-bond systems, which result in strong absorption across the blue-green region ($400$ to $550 \text{ nm}$).
   The most significant, yet poorly understood, prope…
