Lysozyme is frequently found in such extracellular bodily fluids

Biology
1 answer:
stich3 [128]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Lysozyme in the body fluid protects us from bacterial infection by damaging the cell wall of bacteria which ultimately kills the bacteria.

The bacterial cell wall is made up of NAG and NAM units which is joined by β (1-4) glycosidic bond. Lysozyme attacks on this bond and breaks it causing the damage in the cell wall of bacteria which leads to the death of bacteria.

Archaeal cell wall do not contain β (1-4) glycosidic linkage, it contains β(1-3) glycosidic linkage in its cell wall between NAT and NAG unit and lysozyme do not able to break β(1-3) glycosidic linkage between them so lysozyme do not cause any harm to the archaeal invaders.

The graphs below show the changes in crab color at one beach.
vazorg [7]

Answer:

C. Both light tan and dark tan body color provided an advantage to the crabs on this beach, but not necessarily in other crab habitats.

Explanation:

The changes in the number of light tan and dark tan body color of crabs that occured can be described as a diversifying or disruptive selection.

This disruptive selection occurs when individuals with extreme traits on both ends of the spectrum become selected against individuals of ntermediate or medium traits.

In the case of the crab, their environment favors the selection of both extreme values as against those intermediate individuals, as both light tan and dark tan body color of the crabs gives them advantage over others in this particular environment. This may only be obtainable in this environment or similar beach environment with the same settings and conditions.

Explain why treehouses dont change in height as a tree grows
Dmitrij [34]
Treehouses are built on the stem and the three branches, which do not grow in length, only in width. Trees grow in length only in the area of the buds, which are located at the ends of branches. 
Maybe it is easier to understand this if you imagine that you put a small house replica on the palm of your hand and that your fingers are constantly growing from their tips.  So, the house on your palm would not move, only your fingers, (the analogy to the three top buds) would become longer.

What does a S-shaped curve demonstrate for population growth?
11111nata11111 [884]

A design of growth in which (occurs only in a different situation), the population frequency of an organism rises gradually originally, in a good acceleration time, later progresses swiftly nearing an exponential growth pace just like the J-shaped curve, however, it later declines (meaning rejects) in a bad acceleration time till at zero growth rate the population maintains. For example, yeast is a tiny fungus, so tiny, a microscope is required to view it, furthermore, it is used to produce bread and alcoholic drinks, displays the traditional S-shaped curve if raised in a test tube. Its maturity levels off as the population deplete the nutrients that are essential for its growth.
