Murein lipoprotein is critical for maintaining the integrity of the Gram-negative cell envelope and has potent immunostimulatory
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Lipid A, present as part of a Lipopolysaccharide complex in the outer membrane of gram negative bacteria cell walls, should be the answer, but it does not appear in the options included.  As option C states “Amino terminal triglyceride”, and triglycerides are lipids, then we could explore this option. However, nothing is said about lipoproteins linked to Lipid A (that acts as an endotoxin) to mention carboxyl- or amino- terminals (options A and C), so I would consider the core oligosaccharide option as more probable (see below*).

Explanation:

Murein and peptidoglycan are names used to refer bacterial cell walls main component.  This complex is mainly composed by disaccharide units composed of alterning N-acetyl-muramic acid (that contains the same structure of N-acetylglucosamine, plus a tetrapeptide) and N-acetyl-glucosamine, which  form the backbone of the wall. These are responsible for the strength and shape of the cell.  In Gram negative bacteria, an outer layer called outer membrane, as it contains an important amount of lipids, linked to other molecules, is also present.  There, Lipid A is associated to a core oligosaccharide, and subsequently to the Antigen O (polysaccharide) forming Liposaccharides, wich stabilize and give strength to gram negative cell walls.  

*Lipid A is the main responsible molecule for toxicity in these cell walls. As in question answer options, is included in B option “Oligosaccharide core”, which is closely linked to Lipid A, it could be the option to choose. Moreover, oligo saccharides are involved in toxicity responses in several microorganisms .

A gas at 29.4 kPa is cooled from a temperature of 75°C to a temperature of 25°C at constant volume. What is the new pressure of
kirill115 [55]

<span>To solve this we assume that the gas inside the balloon is an ideal </span>gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant volume pressure and number of moles of the gas the ratio of T and P is equal to some constant. At another set of condition, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

 

T1/P1 = T2/P2

P2 = T2 x P1 / T1

P2 = 25 x 29.4 / 75

P2 = 9.8 kPa
