Question:

A---enzyme A------>B----enzyme B------>C

Refer to the metabolic pathway illustrated above. If A, B, and C are all required for growth, a strain that is mutant for the gene-encoding enzyme A would be able to grow on medium supplemented with _____.

A) nutrient A only

B) nutrient B only

C) nutrient C only

D) nutrients A and C

Answer:

B) nutrient B only

Explanation:

The mutant has a mutation in the gene that codes for the enzyme A. Therefore, this mutant would not be able to convert the substance A into B. Without the presence of substance B, the final product can not be formed. However, if the mutant is supplemented with the substrate "B", it can convert the B into the final product (substance C). Therefore, the mutant would be able to grow in the medium to which the already prepared substance B has been added.

SCORPION-xisa [38]
<h2>b) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

  • Some bacterial toxins cause disease by  altering the activity of G protein, cholera toxin is one of them
  • Cholera toxin catalyse ADP ribosylation of Gs and blocks GTPase activity thus Gs GTP become permanently active
  • Constitutive activation of Gs protein continuously induce adenylyl cyclase, cytosolic cAMP level rises that leads to activation of protein kinase A (pKA)
  • Activated pKA catalyse phosphorylation of two transmembrane proteins of intestinal epithelial cells:
  • CFTR cause excessive outflow of Cl- ion and Na+ H+ exchange cause efflux of Na+ ion, both enters in gut and form Na+ Cl-
  • Na+Cl- leads to outflow of water from the gut, resulting in diarrhea and dehydration and this condition may cause death of organisms due to loss of water and ions

For bacteria to continue growing rapidly when they shift from an aerobic environment to an anaerobic environment, they must
Paul [167]
<span>The answer to this question would be: e. increase the rate of the glycolytic reactions.

</span>Lack of oxygen limits the possible chemical reaction that can be done to produce energy. In the anaerobic environment, fermentation of glucose would be the source of energy for bacteria. The net amount of ATP can't be increased, so you need to increase the rate instead.

This naturally occurring wetlands forms when rain fill small depressions in prairie
Step2247 [10]

Perhaps the best known unconfined aquifer is the Ogallala. In many places this aquifer is near the surface and recharge depends on water that collects at the surface in wetlands. ... A playa lake is a naturally occurring wetland (averaging about 17 acres) formed when rain fills small depressions in the prairie.

Based on the name of this organism, what can you predict about its morphology?
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

<em>S. aureus</em> is spherical and arranged in clusters

Explanation:

<em>Staphylococcus aureus </em>is a gram positive bacteria that forms a part of our body microbiota. It is usually found on skin and in upper respiratory tract. The genus name of this organism is <em>Staphylococcus </em>which tells a lot about its morphology. Cocci or coccus is the name given to bacteria who appear spherical. Staph points out to their arrangement which is in clusters. Had it been <em>Streptococcus</em>, it would mean that the bacteria were spherical and arranged in long chains. Similarly, <em>Diplococcus</em> would mean that the bacteria were spherical and arranged in groups of two. Hence from the name <em>Staphylococcus aureus </em> we can say that it is spherical and arranged in clusters.
