Answer:

Bacterial flagella is the external structure that is thin, long and filamentous. It is attached to the cell wall of the bacteria which helps in the locomotion of the bacteria. It has three parts a filament, hook and basal body. The basal body is incorporated in the cell membrane.

A flagellum is made up of a protein called flagellin. It is a rigid protein and helps in making the hollow core of the filament by assembling together to form a structure which is cylindrical in shape.

The organization of flagella on bacterial cells is helpful in the identification of bacterial species. Mostly 4 type of organization of flagella is present on bacterial cell that are monotrichous, amphitrichous, lophoyrichous and perithrichous.

In monotrichious bacteria, only one flagella is present on one side, in amphitrichous both side of the cell have an equal amount of flagella. Lophotrichous bacteria have a group of flagella at one side of the cell and amphitrichous bacteria have many flagella distributed equally on its cell.

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

c. Ecosystem science

Explanation:

Sustainability is incorrect because it means the existence of resources for a long term.

Environmental science is incorrect because it is the branch of science that studies the processes and interactions that affect the environment.

Biodiversity science is incorrect because it is the study of various species that occupy a particular area.

The correct option is c. Ecosystem science is the study of community of living organisms, how they interact with themselves and with non-living components of the community.

Ray Of Light [21]

If the membrane of a cell were no longer selectively permeable then "The cell would die as it would not be able to regulate which substances could enter and leave", since a selectively permeable membrane allows both things to enter and leave for the cell's survival.

You hypothesize that a transcriptional regulator may control expression of specific genes in LB medium, and want to find out wha

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

if the promoterless lacZ is inserted close to any gene(s) or operon, then the laz gene will also be transcribed when the operon gets expressed. The polycystronic RNA will eventually produce a beta-galactosidase protein(product of lacZ gene) which will cleave X-Gal( structural analog to lactose), which will produce blue chromogenic substance.

prepare LB agar. Allow it to cool, add X-gal before it solidifies, pour to plates.

create grids and patch plate each strain on it. Just pick the strain that looks blue, amplify the sequence upstream of the lacZ and sequence it.

Explanation:

Just pick the strain that looks blue, amplify the sequence upstream of the lacZ, and sequence it.
