You have a nutrient broth, an agar slant, and an agar plate with bacterial growth in or on each. If you wanted to evaluate the macroscopic appearance of the bacteria growing in or on the medium, which of the cultures would be the best choice?
A. Agar slant
B. Broth
C. Agar plate

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The best option would be breeding ground.

Explanation:

The broths of culture show us better the macroscopy of the colonies of the bacteria, that is to say the forms of the bacterial groups, some bacteria are usually circular, others lunar, etc.

On the other hand, the environment in which you want to develop a bacterium depends fundamentally on its metabolism, since some should be analyzed on blood agar, or other means, which is why this response is considered very subjective.

Hemoglobin is the blood protein responsible for the transport of oxygen. Carbon monoxide disturbs oxygen transport by

Answers

Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is found in the red blood cells and is responsible for the transportation of oxygen from the lungs to the various body cells.

Oxygen binds to hemoglobin because it has a high affinity for it. This aids its transportation. When it gets to the cells it unbinds and get transported into the cell for use in energy production.

Carbon monoxide is an odourless, dangerous gas which has more affinity for hemoglobin than oxygen. Therefore when carbon monoxide is inhaled, it quickly binds to hemoglobin, thereby displacing oxygen. It binds to hemoglobin for a longer period and due to this, the body does not get any oxygen and cells begin to die.

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include dizziness, headaches, fatigue and coma.

2. If a nucleus has 8 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will be present after Telophase I? 3. What advantage does crossing-over have in reproduction? 6. Compare and contrast spermatogenesis and oogenesis (where do they occur, how many gametes are formed, when do they develop, etc):

Answers

Answer:

Telophase I: 8 chromosomes composed of two sister chromatids  

Crossing over refers to the mechanism of recombination, this process being characterized in that increases the genetic variation

Spermatogenesis refers to the mechanism of formation of male gametes (sperms), while oogenesis is the process of formation of female gametes (oocytes)

Explanation:

Telophase I is the final step in meiosis I. During telophase I, the nuclear membrane is formed around the decondensed set of chromosomes and the nucleoli reappear.  

Spermatogenesis refers to the process by which haploid male germ cells (sperms) are generated within the seminiferous tubules in the testis, while oogenesis refers to the process of differentiation of the female egg cells (ova or oocytes) in the ovaries. Spermatogenesis is known to produce small and motile spermatic cells, while oogenesis is known to produce bigger non-motile oocytes.

The correct equation for cellular respiration and one for photosynthesis are:

Photosynthesis: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + solar energy ----> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Cellular Respiration: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ ----> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP

What is cellular respiration?

Cellular respiration is a process of converting food into energy that can be used in many processes. It happens when oxygen is combined with food material and releases carbon dioxide as a waste product.

The correct reaction of photosynthesis is when carbon dioxide and water are combined with sunlight to form glucose and oxygen.

The correct reaction of cellular respiration is when glucose and oxygen react and release carbon dioxide and water and energy,

Thus, the correct reactions are:

Photosynthesis: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + solar energy ----> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Cellular Respiration: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ ----> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP

The uterine cycle describes the cyclic changes of thickening and degeneration that the endometrium goes through in a month. What is the order of events in one uterine cycle

Answers

Answer:

During the uterine month there are different phases through which the uterus passes, these phases are regulated by hormones and are responsible for producing the cycle necessary for fertilization.

Phase where menstruation occurs: This phase only happens if the woman was not fertilized and did not develop the diploid cell together with a sperm, since not being fertilized, all the uterine preparation that had been planned in the body for fertilization will be released as that we know "menstruation", in this phase estrogens and progesterone are low. The inner walls of the unfertilized uterus are released.

Follicular phase, in the follicular phase the ovaries prepare to release an egg and estrogen begins to rise. (From the first day of the period until ovulation)

Proliferative phase, in the proliferative phase, new vessels proliferate and the outermost layer of the uterus prepares itself for possible fertilization, is where spiral arterioles can begin to form again in the external cut of the myometrium.

Ovulation, here is where the mature ovum is called Graff's follicle, at this time estrogen reaches its peak and then descends.

Luteal phase, in the luteal phase the production of the luteal body is generated, at this stage progesterone takes center stage, and it is the range between ovulation and menstruation (if not fertilized)

Last phase, secret phase, in this phase there are two possible ends, if the woman is fertilized, the egg cell implants and begins the development of the embryo and if it is not fertilized, the entire external cut of the myometrium is prepared to be secreted.

Explanation:

A very important fact to clarify is that women are born with a quantity of ovules that at the end of this uterine cycle ceases to exist, this process is what we know as menopause.

That is to say that women have a quantity of ovules that will one day run out, and the body releases them from the menarche or the first menstruation, generating that in each released ovule a uterine cycle is completed, the day they end the woman will have reached menopause and would have no chance of being fertilized or completing the uterine cycle.

basal layer of endometrium grows, forms gland and blood vessels

Would any of these genotypes affect your species’ survival in its natural habitat? Explain why or why not.

Answers

Hello. You did not enter the answer options, but I can help you by saying that a genotype would affect the survival of a species in its natural habitat if that genotype establishes a disadvantageous characteristic for that habitat.

For example: We know that the Arctic foxes have genotypes that allow them to have a white color very advantageous for their natural habitat. That's because the white color, makes the fox camouflage itself in the environment surrounded by snow and equally white. This allows the fox to go unnoticed by possible predators, that is, its genotype favors the survival of the species. On the other hand, if the arctic fox genotype established a red color in the animal, it would affect its survival, in relation to its natural habitat. This is because it had not allowed the animal to camouflage itself in the environment, leaving it exposed to predators.

describe how a cell acquires the O2 the cell needs for its metabolic processes and how a cell gets rid of the CO2 that is doesn't need and can actually be harmful to the cell?

Answers

Answer:

Cells absorb oxygen and release CO2 via the bloodstream. Please find below detailed explanation

Explanation:

Oxygen and carbondioxide (CO2) are the major gaseous substances involved in celluar respiration. Aerobic celluar respiration, which is the process by which cells obtain energy, requires oxygen to occur. The oxygen initially gets breathed in as a constituent of air, which later passes through air sacs and gets attached to hemoglobin in red blood cells. Hemoglobin transports oxygen throughout the cells of the body.

After the process of celluar respiration is done, carbondioxide (CO2) is released back into the bloodstream, which carries it to the lungs. The CO2 is released when we breathe out.

In the presence of saturating amounts of oxaloacetate, the activity of citrate synthase from pig heart tissue shows a sigmoid dependence on the concentration of acetyl‑CoA. When succinyl‑CoA is added, the curve shifts to the right and the sigmoid dependence is more pronounced.

Choose the statements that are reasonable explanations for the right-ward shift of the velocity curve caused by succinyl-CoA.

a. Succinyl-CoA competes with dissociation of CoA as a product of the reaction.
b. Succinyl-CoA binds covalently to the enzyme.
c. Succinyl-CoA binds at a regulatory site other than the active site.
d. Succinyl-CoA competes with acetyl-CoA for binding at the active site.
e. Succinyl-CoA competes with oxaloacetate for binding at the active site.

Answers

Answer:

c. Succinyl-CoA binds at a regulatory site other than the active site

Explanation:

The sigmoid saturation curve is a property of of allosteric enzymes which reflects the cooperaive interactions between the protein subunits in the enzymes.

Allosteric enzymes function through reversible, non-covalent binding of regulatory compounds called allosteric modulators.

Allosteric enzymes  have different binding site for the substrate and for their allosteric modulator.

In the citric acid cycle, succinyl-CoA serves as as allosteric inhibitor of citrate synthase which catalyses the production of citrate from oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA.

From the given options:

a. Succinyl-CoA competes with dissociation of CoA as a product of the reaction is wrong because it has its own binding site as an allosteric modulator.

b. Succinyl-CoA binds covalently to the enzyme is wrong because allosteric enzymes functions through non-covalent interactions.

c. Succinyl-CoA binds at a regulatory site other than the active site is true because citrate synthase is an allosteric enzyme

d. Succinyl-CoA competes with acetyl-CoA for binding at the active site is wrong because acetyl-CoA binds to the active site while succinyl-Coa binds to the regulatory site.

e. Succinyl-CoA competes with oxaloacetate for binding at the active site is wrong because oxaloacetate binds to the active site while succinyl-Coa binds to the regulatory site.

The tall trees are more likely to break off in storms. Tell how this is an example of stabilizing selection. Be sure to define stabilizing selection in your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Median height is selected

Explanation:

Stabilizing selection is a particular type of natural selection where the mean of the trait in the population stabilizes on non-extreme phenotypes, thereby favoring intermediate phenotypic variants. At genetic level, stabilizing selection is shaped by selective forces that push the distribution of the trait in the population toward the average (median trait), it is a condition that may happen when a population is completely adapted to its environment. Thus, stabilizing selection acts to purge the extreme phenotypic variants via purifying selection. Stabilizing selection is considered to be one of the most important mechanisms controlling the distribution of different phenotypes after many cycles of artificial selection, it s for that reason that breeders believe that this type of natural selection is the most common in nature.

The series that correctly lists the eight taxonomic levels in order, from the broadest group to the most specific group is: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.

What is taxonomic order?

Taxonomic order refers to the systematic arrangement of organisms into a hierarchy of groups based on their shared characteristics and evolutionary relationships. Taxonomy is the science of identifying, describing, and naming species, and it helps to organize the diversity of life on earth into groups that reflect their evolutionary history.

The taxonomic order starts with the broadest category, the domain, and narrows down to the most specific category, the species. Each category represents a level of classification that shares certain characteristics, and the categories are nested within each other, forming a hierarchical structure.

The eight main taxonomic levels in order, from broadest to most specific, are domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. This hierarchical system of classification helps scientists to better understand the relationships and diversity of organisms in the natural world.
