Researchers studying the rigidity and flexibility of the cell envelope used chemotaxis to measure the ability of microbes to squ

eeze through tight spaces. E. coli, a gram-negative bacterium, was able to traverse narrower channels than B. subtilis, a gram-positive microbe, even though both cells are the same size when grown without restriction. E. coli has the more flexible cell envelope becauseA. lipopolysaccharide has no charge.
B. it has fewer flagella.
C. it has only a single membrane.
D. there is less structural carbohydrate.
E. there are fewer protein receptors.

Answer:

D. there is less structural carbohydrate.

Explanation:

Most bacterial cells have a cell wall located outside the plasma membrane, formed by peptideoglycan or murein, which provides protection and shape to the cell. In addition to the wall, some bacteria have a polysaccharide capsule that surrounds this structure, this capsule is a carbohydrate envelope that can allow more or less flexibility to the bacterial cell. The more structural carbohydrates the polysaccharide capsule has the less flexible the bacteria will be. Thus, we can say that if E. coli has the most flexible cell envelope, compared to the envelope of other bacteria, it is because there is less structural carbohydrate in the E. coli envelope.

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Describe two effects of insecticide use on the forest ecosystem other than the intended reduction of moths to protect the trees.  

1. Insecticides when sprayed on a certain areas or spots can be blown by the wind to other areas or flow with rain water into nearby streams or local water bodies or seep through the soil into ground water. This is called indirect application or secondary poisoning,

2. Insecticides can affect the food chain because they reduce the biomass of primary consumers and there is is less food available to secondary consumers which eat poisoned plants or prey those who have been exposed to pesticides.

Insecticides can travel great distances through the environment and they can also flow with rain water into streams so fish can be directly or indirectly impacted by pesticides. The phenomenon of nutrient enrichment of aquatic bodies is known as eutrophication, which deteriorate the water quality leading to death of fish. Some long-term exposures cause abnormalities or mutations in developing fish larvae, while acute exposure can cause immediate fish die-offs. The liver, kidney, brain and gills of exposed fish are extremely vulnerable to chemical exposure.

 Which of the following is true regarding extinction? 
mestny [16]

<span>C. Single events or several causes working together to produce extinction in a short period is referred to as mass extinction.

Example:
</span>Destruction of forests, mountains, and bodies of water to satisfy human needs result to the imbalance of nature which also give rise to global warming.

Animals and plants have lost their habitats. They lost their means to live. They lost their food sources and they suffer and die because of humans irresponsible acts.
