Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

Surfactants are the complex amphiphilic compounds which reduce or lower the surface tension between the two states that is liquid-liquid or solid-liquid.  

The surfactants arrange themselves in a state that their hydrophobic part is exposed in the air whereas their hydrophilic part is in the water.

The biosurfactants are produced by the micro-organisms which are considered superior emulsifiers as compared to the synthetic surfactants. Their amphiphilicity allows the insertion of the surfactant into the membrane which disrupts the integrity of the membrane.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

How does the human brain store and retrieve memories?
krek1111 [17]

Answer: After consolidation, long-term memories are stored throughout the brain as groups of neurons that are primed to fire together in the same pattern that created the original experience, and each component of a memory is stored in the brain area that initiated it (e.g. groups of neurons in the visual cortex store a sight, neurons in the amygdala store the associated emotion, etc).

Staphylococcus epidermis appears _________, whereas escherichia coli appears _________ after the gram stain.
BigorU [14]

Staphylococcus epidermis appears stained, whereas Escherichia coli appears stainless after the gram stain.

Staphylococcus is a Gram-Positive Bacteria i.e. it takes up the Gram stain.

Escherichia coli or E. coli is a Gram-Negative Bacteria i.e. it does not take up the Gram stain.

Gram Staining is done by immersing the bacterial sample in a solution of dye and then observing it under microscope after proper rinsing.

Gram Positive Bacteria are those bacteria that show a positive outcome on staining. Gram Positive Bacteria appear Stained after staining.

Gram Negative Bacteria are those bacteria that show a negative outcome on staining. Gram Negative Bacteria does not take up the stain and appear stainless.

The epidermis of Staphylococcus which is a Gram-Positive Bacteria appears to take up the stain whereas Escherichia coli which is a Gram-Negative Bacteria does not take up the stain.

Staphylococcus epidermis appears stained, whereas Escherichia coli appears stainless after the gram stain.
