Answer:

The correct option is (C). The above mentioned definition is true for biofilm that resembles a slimy structure composed of cells attached to each other.

Explanation:

 The adherent cells that results due to the formation of biofilm are known to invade the slimy extracellular matrix that are made up of extracellular polymeric substances. These embedded cells serves the function of production of EPS component that is composed of genetic material, polysaccharides and lipids. These biofilms are capable of growth on the living as well as the non living things.  

Formation of biofilm by the microbes occurs due to several factors namely nutritional factors, antibiotic attack and cellular recognition to the attachment site. The defined steps of the biofilm formation includes initial attachment, Irreversible attachment, Maturation I, Maturation II and Dispersion.

Professor Danielle conducts an experiment on chloroplasts by deactivating several enzymes used for light-independent reactions.
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

NO.

Explanation:

The process of reaction of CO2 with H20 in the presence of enzyme, chlorophyll and sunlight is called photosynthesis. It has two stages: It is referred to as light dependent stage when it occurs during the day and light independent stage when it occurs at night.

The primary enzyme likely to  be deactivated by the Professor is ribulose bisphosphate  Carboxylate Rubisco. This is the most important enzyme in plants that catalysis the fixation of Co2  with 5C- ribulose bisphosphate  Carboxylase (RuBP) to form3C -Glycerite -3-phospate.(GP).

The GP is reduced by NADP with ATP to form Triose Phosphate (TP). This is the point of glucose production in plants,

The majority of the TP is used for RuBP, hexose phosphates  for starch productions, fatty acid and glycerol for cell membrane.  Amino acids are also produced from TP. This is known s Calvin Cycle.

If the enzyme Rubisco is deactivated, the above process cannot occur, thus the basic macronutrients and enzymes  for the survival of plants for photosynthesis(light dependent stage)  can not occur.

If you start with 60 chromosomes and end with 60 chromosomes
krek1111 [17]

If you start with 60 and end with 60, then no change has occurred. Mitosis is part of cell replication, so if we end with the same number as we started with, then no form of mitosis has occurred.

I hope this helps! :)
