Assume that the average protein in E.coli consists of a chain of 400 amino acids. Now, a single amino acid present in the protein requires a codon to code for it. A codon consists of 3 nucleotides. This shows that a protein of length 400 amino acids will require, 400 codons to code for it, that is, 1200 (3 x 400) nucleotides are required. We know that the length of the E.coli genome on average is 5 x 
base pairs.
1200 nucleotides = 1 protein
5 x nucleotides = X no. of proteins
X = 
= 4167
The answer is 4167 proteins.
Answer:
<em>The correct options are B and C</em>
Explanation:
Option A is false because bacteria fix nitrogen by converting it into ammonia. The ammonia is used by the plants for different functions like development etc.
Option B is correct because plants can take up both ammonium ions and nitrate ions from the soil. They use these ions to make amino acids which are required by the plant for different activities.
Option C is correct because nitrifying bacteria are the bacteria which convert ammonia into nitrites and then nitrates in a process which is termed as nitrification.
Option D is false because herbivores eat plants to make amino acids and proteins.
The accurate statements to the signal transduction pathways are as follows:
1. A receptor changes conformation upon attachment, conducting a signal across the cell membrane.
2. A second messenger may carry a signal from the cell membrane to an organelle.
3. Signal transduction cascades, often involving protein kinases, amplify a signal intracellularly.
4. A receptor may pass on a signal by associating with another protein or by functioning as an enzyme.
5. A ligand, like hormone, combines with a specific cell surface receptor on a target cell.
6. Phosphatase eradicate phosphoryl groups from polypeptides, monitoring the response of the cell.
This doesn’t make sense lol
The process of a white blood cell engulfing a bacterium is phagocytosis.
