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.

Which of the following is a factor that determines the rate of impulse propagation, or conduction velocity, along an axon?a) len
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

c) degree of myelination of the axon

Explanation:

Axon conduction velocity can be defined as the speed at which an electrochemical impulse propagates down an axon.

Factors that determines the rate of conduction velocity are:

  • axon diameter-larger diameter axons have a higher conduction velocity
  • sheeth-a myelin sheath increases the rate of impulse propagatio

Different types of neurons will have different speed of propagation because of their different properties and because different types of information are sent.

Based on the assumptions described in the introduction why might the mark and recapture method of population estimation be more
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

In ecology, the mark and recapture method is utilized to predict the population size of the animals. In the method, the part of the population is caught, marked, and then discharged. Afterward another part is caught, and the number of marked organisms within the sample is measured.  

The mark and recapture method of predicting the population is more precise in the setting of lakes as a lake is a fairly steady environment, while the streams and rivers are in motion, and thus the population is much more dynamic.
