Answer: d) The ability of the bacteria to process nutrients.
Explanation:
Incomplete question.
Options,
a) Structure of the cell wall b) Bacterial morphology c) Susceptibility to antimicrobial drugs d) The ability of the bacteria to process nutrients.
Gram staining is a type of differential staining to study bacteria, and is used to see cell morphology and to differentiate between gram-positive bacteria that appear violet and gram-negative bacteria that appear pink or red.
To perform the staining, fix the samples with methanol for one minute or heat and add a dye called crystal violet and wait one minute. Then rinse with water and add lugol for one minute. Then add acetone alcohol for 5-30 seconds. At this point, gram-negative bacteria discolor while gram-positive bacteria do not. After this, a contrast staining is performed by adding safranin or basic fuchsin for one minute. This stain will turn the gram-negative bacteria pinkish-reddish.
Crystal violet is a cationic dye that penetrates all bacteria through the bacterial wall. Lugol is a compound consisting of iodine and potassium iodide and acts as a mordant. The iodine enters the bacteria and forms an insoluble complex with the crystal violet, causing the crystal violet to bind more strongly to the bacterial cell wall. The added alcohol and acetone are used for decolorization, since the iodine/violet crystal complex is soluble in the alcohol and acetone. Thus, gram-positive bacteria do not decolorize, while gram-negative bacteria do.
A contrast stain such as safranin or fuchsin is used to highlight gram-negative cells. After contrast staining, gram-negative cells are pink or red, while gram-positive cells remain purple.
The wall of gram-positive bacteria consists of about forty layers of peptidoglycan which does not allow alcohol to pass through it because it is very thick, while that of gram-negative bacteria consists of a single layer of peptidoglycan. These differences cause gram-positive bacteria to retain the violet color and gram-negative bacteria to discolor.
So, with this type of staining we can certainly see the structure of the cell wall, because those that retain the violet dye even after treatment with a decolorant are gram-positive (many layers of peptodoglycan) and those that easily lose the first dye and take up the second are gram-negative (single layer). It also gives us an idea of the shape and morphology, which when stained will be visible under the microscope.
It also informs us about susceptibility to antibiotics, since some act only on gram-positive bacteria and others only on gram-negative bacteria. For example, gram-positive bacteria are sensitive to beta lactamase/penicillinase and gram-negative bacteria are susceptible to broad-spectrum penicillins such as piperacillin. However, this type of staining will not tell us about the bacteria's ability to process nutrients, because that is not a process related to the structure of the cell wall.

c. cerebral aqueduct
d. medulla oblongata
e. choroid plexus
f. pons; medulla oblongata; midbrain
g. hypothalamus
h. cerebrum
i. epithalamus
j. cerebrum
k. cerebellum
Explanation:
The brainstem is the posterior part of the brain that connects the cerebrum with the spinal cord. The brainstem can be divided into three parts: midbrain (i.e., mesencephalon), the pons (i.e., metencephalon), and the medulla oblongata (i.e., myelencephalon). The mesencephalon is a region of the brain composed of the tectum and tegmentum, which play fundamental roles in motor movement, auditory and visual processing. The corpora quadrigemina is found at the tectum region of the midbrain. The diencephalon is a small part of the brain located above the brainstem (between cerebral hemispheres); which contains the thalamus, hypothalamus, subthalamus, and epithalamus. In turn, the epithalamus is composed of the habenular nuclei, pineal gland, and the stria medullaris thalami. The cerebral aqueduct is a narrow channel (approx. 15 mm) in which the cerebrospinal fluid flows between the third ventricle and the fourth ventricle. The medulla oblongata is a long stem-like structure located in the brainstem of the brain, just in the place where the brainstem connects the brain to the spinal cord. The choroid plexus is a complex network of capillaries located at the cerebral ventricles of the brain, which serve to produce cerebrospinal fluid through ependymal cells that line the ventricles of the brain. The cerebellum is a major structure of the hindbrain and consists of the cerebellar cortex and a core of white matter having the cerebellar nuclei.
The skin is protected by the action of cells that arise from bone marrow and migrate to the epidermis. Which cells serve this function?
Answer:
Langerhan's cells
Explanation:
The Langerhan's cells arise from the bone marrow and migrate to the epidermis. The Langerhan's cells are the body's first line of defense and play a significant role in antigen presentation. They need special stains to be visualized and are primarily found in the stratum spinosum. These are the mesenchymal origin obtained from CD34 positive stem cells of bone marrow and are part of the mononuclear phagocytic system.
For the following three cultures, using any resource find out if they are obligate aerobes, facultative anaerobe, or obligate anaerobe- o Escherichia coli o Micrococcus luteus o Clostridium sporogenes
Answer:
Escherichia coli - Facultative anaerobe
Micrococcus luteus - Obligate aerobe
Clostridium sporogenes - Obligate anaerobe
Explanation:
In simple terms, obligate aerobes are organisms that require oxygen to grow and metabolize molecules such as fats and sugars to produce energy. Many animals fall under this category. Other examples are Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Micrococcus luteus.
Facultative anaerobes are organisms (usually bacteria) that can grow both in the presence and absence of oxygen. The most example of this are the Escherichia coli.
Obligate anaerobes are organisms (usually microorganisms) that cannot survive when exposed to normal atmospheric concentration of oxygen. Examples are Clostridium sporogenes and Clostridium botulinum.
In the lung alveoli, the oxygen partial pressure is about 100 mm of mercury, or 0.13 Atm. If blood was solely composed of a saline solution (lacking any hemoglobin), oxygen equilibrates with the alveolar air to a concentration of about 3 mg/L or 0.093 mm). In oxygen-saturated blood, however, the O2 concentration is about 0.008 M (8 mm).
Required:
a. What is the Henry's Law constant for oxygen in saline?
b. What is the Henry's Law constant for oxygen in blood?
c. How much does the presence of hemoglobin enhance oxygen solubility in blood (i.e. what is the ratio in blood vs saline)?

Which group of bacteria reduces nitrate to nitrogen gas in the nitrogen cycle? Nitrogen fixing bacteria C. denitrifying bacteria Ammonium ion forming bacteria D. photosynthetic bacteria
Answer:
C. denitrifying bacteria
Explanation:
Nitrogen cycle consists of series of processes that add and remove nitrogen from the soil and atmosphere. There are several ways in which nitrogen can be added to the atmosphere including nitrification, ammonification, lightning etc.
Certain bacteria are responsible for the conversion of nitrogen from one compound form to another. In a process called DENITRIFICATION, nitrate (NO3-), which is the usable form of nitrogen by plants, is converted back to atmospheric nitrogen (N2) with the help of a bacteria called DENITRIFYING BACTERIA e.g Pseudomonas etc.

A biologist thinks the population of chipmunks will be in the range of 2900 to 3100 in the year 2000. Is that a reasonable guess? Why or why not?
Answer:
No
Why not:
The midpoint of range is 3000. Yes, in from 1950-1955 there was a massive increase of the population of chipmunks but from then on it slowly decreased until 1990. In 1995, the population doubled from 1990. If you double 1440, you will get 2880. The biologist said between 2900-3100, using the midpoint of this range (3000) it is too low therefore being a bit unreasonable.

If you took a sample of magnetotactic bacteria from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere, would you expect them to survive
Answer:
Yes.
Explanation:
Yes, magnetotactic bacteria can survive in the southern hemisphere if the suitable environment is available for them. These bacteria requires freshwater and marine habitats and prefer environments that contain little to no oxygen means anaerobic conditions. This type of environment is also present in the southern hemisphere so we can conclude that this bacteria can survive in that environment.

explain budding in hydra
no copied answer
Answer:
Answer to the following question is as follows.
Explanation:
Budding is indeed an asexual reproduction method in which an individual emerges from a reproductive anatomical site of the parent organism. During budding, a genetically identical new creature develops connected to the parent Hydra's body before eventually separating. A bud emerges as an extension of recurrent cellular division at one specific location during the budding process.
Classify each item as being associated with light positioning (controlling how and where light strikes the retina) or sensory processing (how that information is processed).
a. Photoreceptors
b. Occipital cortex
c. Extrinsic muscles
d. Pupil
e. Bipolar cells
Answer:
- light positioning: c. Extrinsic muscles; d. Pupil
- sensory processing: a. Photoreceptors; b. Occipital cortex; e. Bipolar cells
Explanation:
Extrinsic (extraocular) muscles are muscles that modulate both eye movement and position, whereas intrinsic (intraocular) muscles are muscles that focus the eye and control how much light enters into the eye. The pupil is the black center of the eye within the iris through which light passes before being focused onto the retina. Photoreceptors are specialized neurons located in the retina that respond to light, converting it into electrical signals that can stimulate biological processes. Photoreceptors in the retina are divided into two categories 1-rods (responsible for vision at low light levels), and 2-cones (active at higher light). Bipolar cells are neurons that transmit signals from the photoreceptors to the ganglion cells, thereby processing light signals received from rods and cones. The occipital cortex is a brain region that represents the visual processing center and contains most of the anatomical region of the visual cortex.
What transmission pattern would indicate that a trait may be transmitted through X-linked inheritance
Answer:
The transfer pattern of an X-linked inheritance can be either X-linked dominant or X-linked recessive.
Explanation:
X-linked inheritance is the term that refers to a gene capable of causing a specific characteristic or disorder and is located on the X chromosome. During the transmission of genetic material for the formation of another living being, this gene can be transmitted through the transmission standards known as X-linked dominant or X-linked recessive.
X-linked dominance inheritance occurs when the dominant gene is transmitted on the X chromosome, while X-linked recessive inheritance occurs when the recessive gene is carried on the X chromosome.

An inflatable balloon with the volume of 0.75 L at 303 K was placed inside the freezer where the temperature is 263 K. Find out what will happen to the volume of the balloon if the pressure remains constant.
Answer:
Final volume, V2 = 0.66 Litres
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Initial volume = 0.75 L
Initial temperature = 303 K
Final temperature = 263 K
To find out what will happen to the volume of the balloon if the pressure remains constant, we would use Charles' law;
Charles states that when the pressure of an ideal gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.
Mathematically, Charles' law is given by the formula;
[tex] VT = K[/tex]
[tex] \frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}[/tex]
Where;
V1 and V2 represents the initial and final volumes respectively.T1 and T2 represents the initial and final temperatures respectively.Making V2 as the subject formula, we have;
[tex] V_{2}= \frac{V1}{T1} * T_{2}[/tex]
[tex] V_{2}= \frac{0.75}{303} * 263 [/tex]
[tex] V_{2}= 0.0025 * 263 [/tex]
Final volume, V2 = 0.6575 ≈ 0.66 Litres
Because the bell jar in the model lung cannot move, any changes in volume are a result solely of the movement of the rubber diaphragm. Match the position of the rubber diaphragm to changes in volume and pressure inside the bell jar and balloon size.
a. Galloons inflate
b. Balloons deflate
c. Volume inside bell jar increases
d. Volume inside bell jar decreases
e. Pressure inside bell jar decreases
f. Pressure inside bell jar increases
1. Rubber diaphragm up
2. Rubber diaphragm down
Answer:
1. Rubber diaphragm up-
b. Balloons deflate
d. Volume inside bell jar decreases
f. Pressure inside bell jar increases
2. Rubber diaphragm down-
a. Galloons inflate
c. Volume inside bell jar increases
e. Pressure inside bell jar decreases
Explanation:
The rubber diaphragm is the model to demonstart the various parts of the respiratory system and how they move during breathing process. In case of it moves down, the rubber diaphragm is stretched, the volume inside the bell jar increases which causes presursue decrease.
Balloon inhale or sucks in the air from outside and gets inflate. this increases the volume in the jar. The pressure is increased
