Most bacteria live in a solution that is hypotonic relative to the cytoplasm of the bacteria. This means that the bacterial cell is constantly taking in water. The cell wall of a bacterium is a peptidoglycan polymer that is tightly cross-linked. This would therefore function to:_________-.
A. regulate the flow of most molecules into and out of the bacterial cell.
B. provide a rigid wall that prevents the cell from swelling.
C. provide a rigid wall that prevents the cell from shrinking.
D. confirm a close relationship to plant cells that have a similar structure and live in hypotonic solutions.
E. make all bacteria fairly uniform in metabolic chemistry.
Answer:
B. provide a rigid wall that prevents the cell from swelling.
Explanation:
When organisms are present in hypotonic surroundings, their cells that are in contact with the surroundings tend to gain water. Bacteria present in hypotonic solution would gain water as their cells are hypertonic than the surroundings. The entry of water would increase the volume of cytoplasm and could lead to the bursting of the cell. However, the presence of a cell wall made up of cross-linked peptidoglycan prevents the swelling of the bacterial cell and allow them to survive in hypotonic surroundings.
Pandas only blink sometimes because they are looking out for danger most of the time. Like other mammals, they have an upper and lower eyelid, so yes they do blink, but not as much as humans.
The two main processes by which plant cells absorb, release, and use
energy are photosynthesis and respiration. The
process of photosynthesis is present in the chloroplasts of a pant cell.
Photosynthesis uses the sun’s rays in the form of electromagnetic energy to
convert it into chemical energy to be used for the plants. It needs proteins
that are present in the plants to perform a series of necessary conversions.
Moreover, the energy from the sun is the main catalyst to convert the
carbohydrates in the plant into simpler sugars. And then a series of complex
reaction takes place that their end product is oxygen. The oxygen produced is
the cellular respiration.
