The correct option is C.
Osmosis is defined as the movement of water molecules through semi permeable membrane from the region of lower solute concentration to the region of higher solute concentration. That means that, during the process of osmosis, water molecules move out of a substance that is low in salt and enter into another substance that has a higher concentration of salts. Movement of water out of a cell will cause the cell to shrink.<span />

A mutation that causes production of a defective pilus in a bacterium will prevent __________.
daser333 [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Attachment.

Explanation:

  • Pilus are thread like structures which are present on the surface of the bacterial cell.
  • They are mainly responsible for attaching the bacterial cells to a substrate, for obtaining food or to an eukaryotic cell for the purpose of infection.
  • Pilus also mediate the process of conjugation in some bacterial cells.
  • Conjugation is a process by which genetic material or plasmids are transferred from one bacteria to another through a channel formed in between the two bacteria by the help of the pilus.
  • Pilus also helps the bacteria by preventing them from getting recognised by the immune cells in the host.
  • A defective pilus will affect all the above processes, resulting in death of the bacteria.

2. Describe the functions of the SRP.
loris [4]

Single Recognition Particle (SRP) RNA is necessary for the targeting of proteins to the prokaryotic plasma membrane or to the eukaryotic endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Its job is to bind to the signal peptide of the membrane or secretory proteins coming from the ribosome at which time it forms a ribosome-nascent chain (RNC)-SRP complex.

SRP plays an important role in understsnding bacterial physiology, emphasizing the importance of proper membrane protein biogenesis, and demonstrates the ability of time-resolved quantitative proteomic analysis to provide new biological insights.
