E. coli are a species of bacteria. Like all bacteria, they have a round piece of DNA that contains most of their genetic information, but also plasmids, that contain some more. Plasmid can be passed on from bacterium to bacterium and they contain information for fighting antibiotics. Tetracycline is such an antibiotic. The process of putting a plasmid inside a bacterium is called transformation. So what the above sentence really says, is that a bacterium just got a plasmid that is probably holding the genetic information to produce proteins that fight antibiotics like tetracycline. While regular strains of E. coli might not be able to deal with tetracycline, transformed strains will probably be able to survive it. Hence, the culture will have live bacteria and the bacteria that have a plasmid against tetracycline will be favored and survive.
The differences are animal cells are rectangular whereas plant cells are rectangular. Plant cells have a digit cell wall called that surrounds the cell membrane. Animal Cells do not have cell membranes.
A chemical reaction is the process in which atoms present in the starting substances rearrange to give new chemical combinations present in the substances formed by the reaction. These starting substances of a chemical reaction are called the reactants, and the new substances that result are called the products.
