Answer: Option B
Explanation: The thin layer that forms the outer covering of the cell is known as the cell membrane. It is composed of the lipid bilayer which as embedded proteins.
This membrane is selectively permeable which means it allows only specific molecules to pass through them.
The main function of cell membrane is to protect the cell from the outer environment and by the invasion of harmful bacteria and viruses.
Answer:
Distinct mechanisms are used by bacteria in order to transfer the gene from one bacteria to another. These are transformation, transduction, and conjugation. Transformation refers to the process of uptaking extracellular DNA by the recipient of the other bacterial cell.
In the process of transduction, the donor DNA gets packed within the bacteriophage and infects the recipient bacteria. In the process of conjugation, the genetic substance is transferred by the donor bacteria to the recipient via the process of mating.
a. Of all these three mechanisms, transformation is the process that exhibits a broad range and can be easily performed in the lab. As in the process, there is a slight chance of rejection or failure due to direct compatibility between the bacteria.
b. While the narrowest broad range is found in the process of conjugation, as in order to transfer the genetic substance between the two bacterial species, there should be a similarity between the two species so that they can mate and exchange the genetic substance in between them.
The answer in the space provided is anaerobic respiration.
It is because this allows of having to utilize other substance than oxygen such
as nitrate or sulfate to be their electron acceptors in which is for organisms
that undergoes respiration.
1/2 of a radioactive substance will remain after 3 half lives.
