Answer:

C. Pili

Explanation:

Conjugation:

  • Conjugation is the transfer of genetic material between two bacteria. It is referred to as horizontal gene transfer as it occurs through the formation of a horizontal connection or a pilus.
  • Conjugation occurs when the donor bacterium, containing the fertility factor (F factor; it is the gene required for pilus formation) initiates pilus formation.
  • This tube-like structure then joins the two bacteria and transfer of genetic material occurs.
  • Plasmids containing antibiotic resistance genes are also transferred in this manner.

Why can oxygen consumption be used to measure metabolic rate?
antoniya [11.8K]

Metabolism can be described as the chemical process that involves the breakdown of food consumed to give energy which can be used to carry out activities by living organism. The consumption of oxygen can be adopted as a means to estimate the metabolic rate because oxygen is required for synthesis of ATP  ( Adenosine Tri-Phosphate) through oxidative phosphorylation. Also, it is important for fermentation to occur as well as helps in replenishing low level of glycogen
