When culturing a chemoorganoheterophic bacterium, what outcome is LEAST likely to occur if ammonia and phosphate are provided at

equal concentrations?
Biology

inna [77]4 years ago

Options:

A) Cells require much less P to grow than N, so extra P will be used for ATP synthesis and result in a faster growth rate.

B) Cells will never consume all of the phosphate, because N is needed in higher quantities than P.

C) The final biomass of cells will be no different than if only 50% of the phosphate was provided.

D) The bacteria will import all of the ammonia to use for biosynthetic pathways.

Answer:A) Cells require much less P to grow than N, so extra P will be used for ATP synthesis and result in a faster growth rate.

Explanation: Chemoorganoheterophic Bacteria are bacteria which requires the supply of organic nutrients of Carbon and metabolic energy. If Ammonia and potassium are provided at equal amount or concentration, the least likely occurrence will be that

Cells require much less P(potassium) to grow than N(Nitrogen), so extra P(potassium) will be used for ATP synthesis and result in a faster growth rate. This is so because Chemoorganoheterophic Bacteria requires organic supply of nutrients in the form of Carbon and metabolic energy.

Predict the effects of the following types of gene mutations on the protein encoded by that gene (your answer can be just a few
o-na [289]

Answer:

Nonsense mutation: it causes a premature stop codon, so the protein cannot be fully synthesized.

Missense mutation: it causes change on the aminoacid encoded, so it can cause a change in the protein structure if the new aminoacid doesn't have the same chemichal properties as the original.

Synonymous (silent) mutation: it causes no change, the same aminoacid is encoded.

Single nucleotide insertion or deletion: changes the entire structure of the protein because it shifts the reading frame.

Three nucleotide deletion: one aminoacid will no longer be part of the protein, if this aminoacid was located, for example, on the active site of an enzyme, the protein could lose its function.

Chromosomal translocation: it can break a gene in two, causing the protein to no longer be able to be synthesized, or it can change the transcription regulation because it is now under the effect of other regulating sites that result in a different transcription pattern.

what happens when a cell is subjected to a solution where the water concentration is equal to that inside a cell?(isotonic solut
astra-53 [7]
When a cell is subject to a solution that is equal in water concentration as inside the cell, the movement of water via a process called osmosis will equalize and the solution is said to be isotonic to the cell. That means the amount of water entering the cell from the solution will equal the water exiting the cell; no net water movement.
