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.

What level of protein structure is created during protein syntheisis?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The correct answer will be - Primary structure

Explanation:

Proteins are one of the biomolecules formed by the process of translation.

Depending on the function they attain many structures like primary, secondary, tertiary and Quaternary structure.

The primary structure is the simplest structure formed by binding the amino acids via peptide bonds in linear order. This simplest structure is formed by the process of translation in which tRNA brings specific amino acids to the nascent peptide.

Thus, Primary structure is the correct answer.
