An important purpose of a cell wall in bacteria is to

Biology

slega [8]3 years ago

A wall located outside the cell membrane provides the cell support, and protection against mechanical stress or damage from osmotic rupture and lysis. The major component of the bacterial cell wall is peptidoglycan or murein. This rigid structure of peptidoglycan, specific only to prokaryotes, gives the cell shape and surrounds the cytoplasmic membrane.

Give a scenario where a cell may need to perform a form of endocytosis and exocytosis
Firdavs [7]
<span>A scenario where a cell may be needed to perform a form of endocytosis is when transporting large molecules.
A scenario where a cell may be needed to perform a form of exocytosis is when releasing the large molecule from the cell. The movement of macromolecules of polysaccharides or proteins out of or into the cell is known as Bulk transport.
Bulk transport is of two types which include endocytosis and exocytosis whereby both require an expenditure of energy. Exocytosis materials are being exported out of the cell via secretory vesicles.
Golgi complex they do package macromolecules into transport vesicles which travel to and spill its content out of cells. Exocytosis is very much important in the expulsion of waste materials out of the cell and also in products secretion. Endocytosis is the process where materials move into the cell.
 Endocytosis is divided into the three types which include pinocytosis, phagocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis.</span>

How do small intestinal epithelial and root hair cells function in nutrient procurement?
Usimov [2.4K]
<span>Villi are hair-like structures covered with epithelial cells measuring 1.5 mm that line the mucous inner membrane of the small intestine. The epithelial cells of the villi contain microvilli and are responsible for the absorption of nutrients. Being so small and numerous, they effectively increase the absorptive surface area of the small intestine. When the surface area increases, this is the time they absorb the nutrients. As for plants' root hair cells, they receive nutrients through osmosis. Root hair cells are adapted for this by having a large surface area to speed up osmosis. The absorbed water and minerals are transported through the roots to the rest of the plant where it is used for different purposes: It is a reactant used in photosynthesis. As we can see, both of them utilize increasing their surface area.</span>

If there are 50 kcal of energy in the tertiary consumer trophic level, how many kcal would you expect to find in the primary con
larisa86 [58]
Ecological efficiency is the term used to describe how much energy will be passed from lower food pyramid level into the higher level. The amount of energy in primary level will be much higher than tertiary. The difference of level of tertiary(3) with primary(1) would be two level.
Assuming that the ecological efficiency is 10%, then the <span>primary consumer level would be: 50 kcal * 10^(3-1)= 5000 kcal</span>
