Q3. The answer is retroviruses.
Retroviruses have single-stranded RNA. However, RNA cannot be incorporated into the host cell genome. To incorporate their genome, viruses first must produce DNA from their RNA genome inside of the host cell. This is actually the reason they are called RETROviruses. After that, DNA can be incorporated into the host cell genome.
-The other choices cannot be correct because: prophage is a genome of a bacteriophage which is a virus that infects bacteria while capsid is a protein that coats the genetic material of viruses.

Q4. The answer is Archaebacteria do not have peptidoglycan in their cell walls, but Eubacteria do.
Two bacteria kingdoms - Archaebacteria and Eubacteria have many in common. However, the main difference between these two kingdoms and the characteristic that best helps distinguish the kingdoms is the makeup of their cell walls.  Eubacteria have cell walls made of peptidoglycan while Archaebacteria have cell walls made of uncommon lipids and lack in peptidoglycan.

Q5.  Some bacteria provide nutrients and raw materials for organisms in an ecosystem.

<span>Since plants are not able to directly use atmospheric nitrogen, it must be converted into different form through a nitrogen cycle. Thanks to nitrogen fixing bacteria which converts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium, nitrogen in the form of ammonium is now available to plants. </span>Also, bacteria are decomposers. After the death of producers and consumers, decomposers eat dead organisms and release carbon, nitrogen, and other elements into the environment.


Q6. The answer is acting as a pathogen.

A pathogen is a microorganism that can cause a disease. Among different groups of organisms, some bacteria can be pathogens. Some species are pathogenic and are able to cause diseases such as tuberculosis, tetanus, cholera, etc. This pathogenic role of bacteria cannot be beneficial for humans. On the other hand, usage of bacteria in genetic engineering for production of some vitamins or hormones, such as insulin that lack in diabetic patients, can be of a great benefit to humans.


Q7. The answer is releasing toxins.

Bacteria can produce toxins that can promote an infection and cause a disease. Bacterial toxins can be endotoxins and exotoxins. EXOtoxins are after secretion released out of the cell. ENDOtoxins remain as the part of the bacteria and they are released only if bacteria are killed by the immune system of the organism. The organism will response to the presence of endotoxins and usually, inflammation occurs.

Scientists can use mutants to study metabolic pathways. These organisms have a mutation in a gene encoding a metabolic pathway e
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Pyruvate kinase

Explanation:

Yeasts convert glycerol and sugars into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) through independent pathways. Then, G3P forms pyruvate and, in some circumstances, pyruvate is converted in ethanol, which can be used as energy sources. If the mutation affects any reaction before G3P formation, it will only affect yeast growing either on sugar or pyruvate but not both.

Pyruvate kinase is the only enzyme on the list acting after G3P is formed and before pyruvate is formed. All other options are enzymes acting only in the formation of G3P from sugars. Meaning that only pyruvate kinase mutants will lack the ability to grow on both sugars and glycerol.

1. What special structures are specific to the phylums of Porifera, Cnidaria, Ctenophora, and Platyhelminthes?
Marysya12 [62]

some of the special structures in the members of these phylum as follows:

Members of porifera are sponges. they have collar cells and cellular -level body organization. Cnidarian have stinging cells present on the tentacles around the mouth. Ctenophorans have comb-like plate cells for swimming. Platyhelminthes - members are first to have sensory and nervous tissue in the head region.
