Peptidoglycan is a polymer of millions of N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) sugars based on glucose molec

ules linked together in long chains cross-braced with four amino acids that link individual polymer chains together in a chain-link fence pattern. Layers of cross-braced NAG and NAM sheets are stacked vertically and held together by proteins with lipid anchors attached to the cell’s cytoplasmic membrane to form a scaffold of sugars and proteins that is able to hold the bacterial cell’s shape, even in response to extreme osmotic pressures. How would you expect a microbiology student to be able to describe the composition of peptidoglycan? What is the composition of the peptidoglycan layers found in the cell wall of bacteria?

Answer:

NAG, short amino acid chains,NAM, lipid and proteins.

Explanation:

The cell wall is the outer covering of the cell lies on the adjacent of the plasma membrane. The cell wall is present in the archaea, bacteria, plants, fungi and absent in the animal cells.

As the inofrmation given in the question, the cellwall consists N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) and N-acetylglucosamine (NAG). These sugar residues helps n the cross linking with the proteins. The lipids and proteins are the important component of the cell membrane that maintains the shape and function of the cellwall.

Thus, the answer is NAG, short amino acid chains,NAM, lipid and proteins.

What is the difference between good ‘seeing’ and good ‘transparency’? Give one condition for each.
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Transparency is the <u><em>opacity of the atmosphere</em></u>, or how clear it is. Moisture and humidity lower the transparency, as does smoke or other kinds of pollution. It’s not entirely unlike light pollution in that it washes out the fainter details of astronomical targets. In fact, poor transparency typically makes light pollution worse because it scatters the light around instead of letting it escape into space away from your cameras and optics.

Transparency usually gets better with altitude, because you're looking through less air. That's why high altitudes are prized for observatories and star parties.

Transparency is also usually very good after a rainstorm has come through to clear all of the particulates out of the air. This is reason number one I figured my second friend had it right at the star party.

Seeing, on the other hand, is a measure of <u><em>atmospheric turbulence</em></u>. We know that if we take a photo of a fast-moving subject, such as at a sporting event, with a low shutter speed, we'll get a blurry image. So what happens when you have to take a very long dark-sky photo and the stars are jumping all about due to atmospheric turbulence? That’s right, blurry stars and deep sky objects.

Seeing is typically better in places where the geography is very flat. The air masses moving over the land encounter few obstacles and flow more smoothly (sometimes called a laminar flow). In Florida, the winds coming over the mountains gets all mixed up like a creek flowing over big boulders, which makes for terrible seeing.
