Answer:

Pilus is a hair like tube or appendage that required for bacterium cell in conjugation.

Explanation:

A pilus or pili is a hair-like appendage or tube found on the surface of multiple bacteria and archaea. The term fimbria or pilus are interchangeable but pilus is specially reserved for the appendage needed for bacterial conjugation.

Pili allows for the transfer of DNA between bacteria donor cell to host cell during bacterial conjugation. They are also called sex pili because they permit the exchange of genes via the formation of mating pairs.

Thus, Pilus is a hair like tube or appendage that required for bacterium cell in conjugation.

What kind of atoms typically have unstable nuclei?
nikklg [1K]

B & D

Protons and neutrons are energy particles found in the nucleus of atoms.

Explanation:

The forces that hold the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus are called strong nuclear forces. These forces are attractive over short distances and repulsive over long distances. This is why protons that are positively charged are held together in the nucleus  despite their repulsive tendencies. However, as the nucleus gets larger because of the larger number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, the distance with which the string nuclear forces are attractive is surpassed.

The binding energy in the nucleus will, therefore, be surpassed by the repulsive forces of strong nuclear forces over long distances causing the atomic nucleus to lose some neutrons.

The following is a multi-step reaction. the rate-limiting step is unimolecular, with a as the sole reactant.
Vaselesa [24]
I) from the information given, that the rate-limiting step is unimolecular with A as the sole reactant, the rate law of the reaction is therefore; 
Rate = k[A]
If you double the concentration of A, the rate of the reaction wil also double to 0.008 M/s

ii) The concentration of B has no effect on the rate of reaction, and therefore halving the concentration of B, will not change the rate of reaction. Thus the reaction rate remains 0.0040 M/s

iii) Increasing the concentration of A by 4-fold also increases the rate of reaction by 4-fold to (0.0040 ×4) = 0.016 M/s. This is because the rate of reaction depends on the concentration of A, therefore any change in this concentration affects the rate of reaction, such that an increase in the concentration of A cause a corresponding increase in the rate of reaction and vice versa.
