The antibiotic called ampicillin was not effective against E.coli.

Answer: D

Explanation:

E.coli is normal microbial flora which is present in the gut of the mammals.

It is gram negative bacteria and very few strains of this bacteria causes harm.

Antibiotics are the chemical drugs which are used to treat the microbial infection either by killing the causative organism or by its growth inhibition.

Antibiotics such as neomycin, penicillin and erythromycin are usually used to treat E.coli infection.

Antibiotic such as Ampicillin is not used as the bacterium E.coli is highly resistant to it.

What happens to pyruvate molecules formed in glycolysis in the absence of oxygen?
Mars2501 [29]
Absence of oxygen means anaerobic respiration ; which has 2 different pathways.

First Pathway ; Alcoholic fermentation which takes place in yeast.

Pyruvate is decarboxylated into ethanal releasing co2 as waste product.
Ethanal is toxic , so its reduced by help of NADH to ethanol in presence of alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme , and Free NAD is released to continue glycolysis.

2) The second pathway is Lactic fermentation which takes place in mammalian muscles.

Pyruvate accepts hydrogen and is converted to lactate by the help of enzyme lactate dehydrogenase , again free NAD is released to continue glycolysis.

Hope I made it clear enough :)

The molecular basis of the Gram stain is the amount of _______ in the bacterial cell wall. bacteriophage spirochete peptidoglyca
Anna11 [10]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

peptidoglycan

The molecular basis of the Gram stain is the amount of<u> peptidoglycan</u> in the bacterial cell wall.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Gram stain is differential stain that is very useful for identifying and classifying bacteria as either gram negative or gram positive.
  • Gram negative are those that decolorize easily, such as E. coli, while Gram positive are those that retain the primary stain and do not decolorize easily.
  • The result depends on the bacteria cell wall structure, the cell wall of a Gram-negative bacterium is composed of 20 percent or less of peptidoglycan.

How did the lab activities help you answer the lesson question, "How do atmospheric conditions influence weather patterns?" What
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

In the lab, I discovered the air pressure, air temperature, and relative humidity conditions that create snow, rain, thunderstorms, fog, and clear skies. I learned that low-pressure areas usually experience snowy, rainy, and stormy weather, and that high-pressure areas usually experience either foggy or sunny weather. Knowing how these atmospheric conditions influence weather help weather forecasters predict weather patterns through maps and other information.
