Answer:

The correct answer is "the S layer may play a role in protecting cells from viruses and predatory bacteria found in nature but not in laboratory cultures".

Explanation:

The S-layer (surface layer) is a part of the cell's envelope comprised of of identical proteins or glycoproteins that could be found in archaes and some bacterias in nature. The function of the S-layer is unknown, however the fact that is only seen in nature suggest that it may play a role in protecting cells from viruses and predatory bacteria found in nature but not in laboratory cultures. It is likely that archaes and bacteria synthesize the S-layer when they recognize viruses and predatory bacteria in nature, the S-layer is not synthesized in laboratory cultures because these pathogens are not present.

1. What kind of plant life grows naturally in the town park?

2. Which types of treats do different types of dogs like best?

3. Do different types of grass affect how far a ball rolls?

4. How are the chemicals in different vegetables similar?

The answer is 3

Explanation:

Three types of investigation are used by scientists to solve a problem or answer a question. These questions are: comparative investigation, descriptive investigation and experimental investigation. Experimental investigations are conducted to test the relationship between two variables. In the test, one of the variable is manipulated (independent variable) while the other responds (dependent variable).

In this case involving questions asked for a science fair, HOW DIFFERENT TYPES OF GRASS AFFECT BALL ROLLS is most likely an experimental investigation because it is testing the effects of grass type (independent variable) on ball roll (dependent variable).
