A) because the capsule allows <span>bacteria to infect organisms under harsh conditions, such as in the acidic stomach</span>
Answer:
As a cell grows in size, the surface area gets bigger, but the volume gets bigger faster. Thinking about this as a ratio (division), the volume is the denominator and the surface area is the numerator. If the volume is getting very big, then the ratio itself will be getting very small.
Answer:
as a dimer consisting of two identical monomers (80 kDa subunits) that are packed together via hydrophobic interactions
Explanation:
SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis), is an electrophoretic methodology used to separate proteins that have a molecular weight between 5 to 250 kDa. SDS is a well-known ionic detergent that is able to break hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds. Moreover, size-exclusion chromatography is a filtration technique that separates molecules in solution according to their molecular size. In this case, SDS-PAGE showed that the target protein is composed of two identical subunits (monomers) of 80 kDa each, which were separated by the detergent and formed one single band in the SDS-PAGE gel.
I believe the correct answer is natural selection.
Natural competition and the fight for “survival of the fittest” is what pushes diversity the most.
