FACT: Potassium tellurite (K2TeO3) inhibits the growth of gram-negative bacteria and most of the upper respiratory tract normal flora. Oxyanions of tellurium‚ like tellurite (TeO32-)‚ are highly toxic for most eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. Known for its antimicrobial properties‚ potassium tellurite has been used in selective media for the isolation of a number of naturally tellurite-resistant bacterial species such as the C. diphtheriae. These tellurite-resistant bacteria reduce tellurite

If the house gets too cold‚ then the heat automatically turns on to warm the house. The heat stops when the preset temperature is reached. This is an example of a feedback mechanism. Organisms use many feedback mechanisms to either maintain or amplify important chemical systems. This could happen at a molecular level to coordinate
