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.

ValentinkaMS [17]

The answer is pyruvate. In the absence of oxygen in anaerobic respiration, the pyruvate is converted to lactic acid in animals and ethanol in plants. However, in the presence of oxygen, the pyruvate enters the Krebs cycle after being converted to Acetyl CoA. Pyruvate is an intermediate product of glycolysis.
