Cultures of a bacterial species were incubated on the shelf of a refrigerator (5 C), out on a lab bench top (22 C), on the shelf

of a 37 C incubator, and on the shelf of a 50 C incubator. After incubation, there was no growth at 37 C and 50 C, slight growth in the refrigerator, and abundant growth on the lab bench top. What term could be used for this species?

B) mesophile
C) anaerobe
D) psychrotroph

D) Psychrotrophs.

Explanation:

  • Psychrotrophs are those bacteria which can tolerate cold temperature and have optimum growth above 15 degree Celsius.
  • Halophiles prefer high salt concentration.
  • Mesophiles prefer temperatures with a average of 37 degree Celsius.
  • Anaerobes grow in absence of oxygen.
  • In the given experiment, none of the bacterial cultures were placed in saline or anaerobic conditions. So, the bacterial species is not an anaerobe or halophile.
  • Again the cultures did not show growth at 37 degree celsius so they are not mesophiles.
  • Maximum growth at 22 degree celsius and a little growth in refrigerator make it obvious that the species is a Psychrotroph.

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is a cell structure that consists of folded membranes that contain ribosomes. What is the advant
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The folds contain ribosomes attached to the membrane. The more the folds the more the surface area to which more ribosomes can attach. The ribosomes are organelles responsible for the manufacture of protein in cells. Thereafter, the proteins are properly folded by the mediation of chaperones in the lumen of the RER.
