Biology

Bezzdna [24]2 years ago

In gram positive bacteria have a peptidoglycan layer outside of the cell wall. Gram negative bacteria have peptidoglycan between membranes.

The natural penicillin have activity against non beta lactamase producing gram - positive cocci, which includes such as - viridans streptococci, anaerobic streptococcus. Penicillin work indirectly bursting bacteria cell walls. It kills bacteria through binding of that betalactum ring.

Gram positive bacteria have a much thicker layer of peptidoglycan and lack of the protection of an outer membrane. This class , penicillin was first antibiotic to be used widely and prevents the final cross linking step. There are some more classes of penicillin like- natural , penicillin-stable, aminopenicillins and extended-spectrum penicillin.

What is a hypothesis?
earnstyle [38]

Answer: D.) a suggested answer to a problem

Explanation:

A hypothesis is a supposition, suggested answer or a proposed explanation based on limited evidence which can be use to start an investigation. A hypothesis is more than a guess but less than a established theory and it can be tested through study and experiments.

<u>A hypothesis is part of the scientific method </u>because it is a prediction which can be tested and the results from those experiments may disprove a hypothesis, but can never entirely prove one.

It is not a conclusion because it is an idea which tries to explain an observation. It is not information collected from experiments because hypothesis are formulated before carrying out the experiments and it is not a widely accepted idea because it just proposes a tentative explanation about a phenomenon.

Most deer mouse populations inhabit regions with dark soils. These deer mice have dark brown fur. Populations of deer mice found
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Tan fur helps the mice protect themselves from predators

Explanation:

The entrenchment of this phenotype in the population is powered by natural selection pressures. The mice with fur color that enable them to camouflage with their environment are predated less than mice with other fur colors. These tan mice are therefore more likely to survive and pass their genes to the next generation. Through successive generations, the allelic frequency for the tan fur color increases until it is the dominant allele in the population.

How does a magnifying glass make an object look bigger and closer?​
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Any converging lens that has a small focal length (several centimeters) can be used as a magnifying glass. The observed object is placed in front of the magnifying glass so that it is located between the lens and the focus (closer to the focus).

Explanation:

It consists of only one condenser lens of small life (a few centimeters).

The observed object is placed between the magnifying glass and its focus (closer to the focus)

The observer sees an upright and enlarged figure of the object.

In order to like clear video ("sharpen"), the magnifier zooms in or out of the subject.

When the character is most clearly seen, we can find ourselves on a given high species.

For a man with normal eyesight, it is about 25 cm.
