<span>Because cholesterol is only minimally soluble in water (dissolves into the water at small concentrations) it needs to be transported as part of the complex with proteins-lipoproteins. Thus, lipoproteins bound by specific receptors on cell membranes. Lipoproteins, particles that transport cholesterol through the blood, contain lipid-soluble part (located inside the particle) and amphipathic or water-soluble part (one the surface of the particle). There are five types of lipoproteins: chylomicrons, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL).</span> <span>Receptors for the cholesterol (lipoprotein) are located on the surface of a plasma membrane and after the binding of lipoprotein, coated endocytic vesicles are formed from the surface. Those vesicles carry lipoprotein into the cell together with the receptor (internalization). After internalization, the receptors dissociate and recycle to the cell surface.</span>

A bacterium was grown in two test tubes filled with media rich in glucose. One tube was sealed to produce anaerobic conditions,
amm1812

Answer:

The correct answer is: b. lightening of media in the unsealed tube only.

Explanation:

  • According to the question, the bacteria can undergo only aerobic respiration, that is it can produce its energy, that is, ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, only in the presence of oxygen.
  • The unsealed tube allowed air or oxygen to pass into it which can be used by the bacteria for its respiration. In the process, it will produce acid that will cause the media colour to lighten.
  • The sealed tube do not allow any oxygen to pass into it. As the given bacteria can undergo only aerobic respiration but not anaerobic respiration, in absence of oxygen it will not be able to undergo respiration and produce energy and acid. Hence, the media colour will remain unchanged.
  • The control tube is used to check the sterility of the media.
