Wild-type bacteria can grow on minimal medium. Four mutants that cannot grow on minimal medium but can grow on minimal medium su

pplemented with the nutrient “C” are isolated. It is suspected that metabolites A, B, and D are in the biochemical pathway for synthesis of C, so each mutant is tested for the ability to grow on minimal medium supplemented with these metabolites.
Mutant 1: can grow on minimal medium supplemented with A, but not B or D
Mutant 2: is unable to grow on minimal medium supplemented with A, B, or D
Mutant 3: is able to grow on minimal medium supplemented with B or A, but not D
Mutant 4: can grow on minimal medium supplemented with A, B, or D.

Which of the following is NOT consistent with this information?

A. Mutant 2 will cause a build up of metabolite D
B. Mutant 1 will cause a build up of metabolite B
C. Mutant 3 blocks the conversion of metabolite D → metabolite B
D. Mutant 2 blocks a step right before metabolite C.
E. Mutant 4 blocks a step before all 4 metabolites.

Explain what happens to animal cells if they are put in fresh water
neonofarm [45]
They will actually explode or burst

So What happens is the pure water outside has a high water potential while the cytoplasm inside the animal cell is a low water potential, water will diffuse down a water potential gradient through the semi-permeable membrane of the animal cell and cause the cell to swell (inflate like a fully-blown balloon), the result is that the delicate, elastic cell membrane<span> can't tolerate the internal pressure coming from the cytoplasm so it tears causing the cell to burst.</span><span>

Yuri [45]
C. The cell must be a plant cell. 

Only plant cells have cell walls. Bacteria cells and animal cells do not. Both animal cells and plant cells have membrane-bound organelles, but since the student saw a cell wall, it must be a plant cell.

Hope this helps! :)
