Drupady [299]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer would be - mycobacterium, and streptomyces.

Explanation:

Actinobacteria is a phylum that consists of a group of gram-positive bacteria with cytosine and guanine content in their DNA. These bacteria can be aquatic or land bacteria. Actinobacteria do not have cell wall however they make a non-sptate and mycelium.

Mycobacterium is one of the genera of the actinobacterium phylum. This genus includes pathogenic species in it that cause deadly diseases in humans and other mammals such as leprosy and tuberculosis Whereas streptomyces is another genus of the actinobacteria that is yielded the very first drug to fight with the ancient scourge.

Thus, the correct answer is - mycobacterium and streptomyces.

Mitochondria have their own DNA. What might that mean about their origin in our cells?
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use. Mitochondrial DNA contains 37 genes, all of which are essential for normal mitochondrial function. Thirteen of these genes provide instructions for making enzymes involved in oxidative phosphorylation.

In what ways are cellulose and starch similar to each other and in what ways are they different? Be specific in your comparison,
Tom [10]
By starch, I'm assuming you mean glycogen, or animal starch.
Similarities:
Both are polysaccharide molecules made from glucose molecules linked together in a long chain.
Both are storehouses of energy.

Differences:
Glycogen is made in animal cells and is the only form of starch animals can digest (unless they have certain microbes in their intestinal tracts to break down cellulose, which all herbivores need).
Cellulose is made in plant cells.

The bonds are a bit different; the molecules are isomers. Glycogen bonds with what is called an alpha 1,4 bond, meaning that the first carbon of one glucose molecule is bonded to the 4th carbon of the next glucose molecule, but in a way that puts the bonds in a shape that falls below the plane of the molecule, and allows branching.

Cellulose bonds with beta 1,4 bonds. The first and fourth carbons of adjoining glucose molecules are still connected, but the shape of the bond falls above the plane of the molecule and does not branch.

Since enzymes are specific to their substrates, the enzymes shaped to fit glycogen bonds do not fit on cellulose bonds, which is why animals cannot digest cellulose on their own. In herbivores, there are microbes in their digestive tracts which can produce enzymes to break these bonds so the glucose can be used. In carnivores and omnivores like humans, there is no enzyme to break down cellulose so it becomes 'roughage' in our diets. It passes through the digestive tract without being broken down.
