An organism described as osmophilic is one that tolerates

  • A.strongly acid conditions
  • B.high concentrations of sugar
  • C.high concentrations of salt
  • D.very low temperatures

Answer: B

Osmophiles grow where the osmotic pressure created by dissolved sugar would dehydrate most cells, and they spoil syrups, jams and honey. Salt tolerance is described instead as halophilic, and the two groups are not the same.
