The penicillin will kill the bacteria that were transformed is not a true statement.

Explanation:

The bacterial culture is genetically engineered with recombinant plasmids containing genes resistant to penicillin, hence when treated with penicillin, the bacteria will not be killed.

Bacteria develops resistance to chemicals or drugs like antibiotics namely penicillin over the course and becomes resistant to the drug action. The effectiveness of the drug will either be reduced or eliminated and the bacteria gains the ability to survive, reproduce and grow and increase their colony.

Recombinant bacteria will undergo genetic mutation and can develop resistance against antibiotics like penicillin. The recombinant plasmids further provides extra protection and prevents the entry of drugs or chemicals into the bacterial cell.

Sometimes new ideas in science come from traditional methods people used in the past. What did researchers learn from terra pret
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

What did researchers learn from terra preta?...  Because terra preta is loaded with so-called bio-char -- similar to charcoal -- it also can pull substantial amounts of carbon out of the increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere, helping to prevent global warming.

How is bio-char different from the traditional Amazonian method of creating terra preta?  Terra preta owes its characteristic black color to its weathered charcoal content, and was made by adding a mixture of charcoal, bone, broken pottery, compost and manure to the low fertility Amazonian soil. ... Terra preta soils were created by farming communities between 450 BCE and 950 CE..  

The BBC's Unnatural Histories presented evidence that the Amazon rainforest, rather than being a pristine wilderness, has been shaped by man for at least 11,000 years through practices such as forest gardening and terra preta.

Which cell structure is thought to have arisen through an endosymbiosis in plant but not animal cells?
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Chloroplast

Explanation:

Endosymbiosis theory explains the origin of chloroplast and mitochondria in the eukaryotic organisms.

When the pro-eukaryotes engulfed the blue-green algae or photosynthetic bacteria, these bacteria formed the symbiotic relationship with the pro-eukaryotes. These photosynthetic bacteria transformed into the chloroplast organelles of the eukaryotes which can capture the sunlight and use it in the synthesis of glucose molecules. These eukaryotic cells later formed the plant kingdom.

Thus, the chloroplast is the correct answer.
