The substance that helps keep the integrity of the bacterial cell wall intact is known as the peptidoglycan. Others also refer to is it as murein or mucopeptide. The bacterial cell wall is necessary for survival because of the high internal pressure present inside of bacteria. Under normal conditions, if the cell wall is removed the bacterial cell will burst.

The peptidoglycan is a layer that can be used to distinguish gram positive bacteria from gram negative ones. G(+) bacteria have a thick layer of this while G(-) have a thinner ones.

Describe how the output of the Krebs cycle can be modified in additional processes of the carbon cycle.
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Step 1. A carboxyl group is removed from pyruvate, releasing a molecule of carbon dioxide into the surrounding medium. (Note: carbon dioxide is one carbon attached to two oxygen atoms and is one of the major end products of cellular respiration. ) The result of this step is a two-carbon hydroxyethyl group bound to the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase; the lost carbon dioxide is the first of the six carbons from the original glucose molecule to be removed. This step proceeds twice for every molecule of glucose metabolized (remember: there are two pyruvate molecules produced at the end of glycolysis); thus, two of the six carbons will have been removed at the end of both of these steps.

Step 2. The hydroxyethyl group is oxidized to an acetyl group, and the electrons are picked up by NAD+, forming NADH (the reduced form of NAD+). The high- energy electrons from NADH will be used later by the cell to generate ATP for energy.

Step 3. The enzyme-bound acetyl group is transferred to CoA, producing a molecule of acetyl CoA. This molecule of acetyl CoA is then further converted to be used in the next pathway of metabolism, the citric acid cycle.

How does our hearing decrease?
kow [346]

Tiny hair cells inside your inner ear help you hear. They pick up sound waves and change them into the nerve signals that the brain interprets as sound. Hearing loss occurs when the tiny hair cells are damaged or die. The hair cells DO NOT regrow, so most hearing loss caused by hair cell damage is permanent.
