How does a capsule help certain bacteria evade detection by the immune system? How does a capsule help certain bacteria evade de

tection by the immune system? The capsule is composed of polysaccharides that are similar to those found in the host; thus, the immune system does not recognize it as foreign. The capsule makes the bacterium too sticky to be phagocytosed by the immune cells. Capsules have the ability to destroy antibodies secreted by the immune system. Capsules allow the bacteria to stick together, creating a larger mass that is too big for immune cells to engulf.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

When a substrate is added in water, the enzyme will cause the substrate to dissolve in water. Increase in temperature will cause better functioning of the enzyme and more solute to be dissolved until an optimum temperature. Optimum temperature can be described as the temperature at which the activity of the enzyme is highest.

After optimum temperature is reached, the enzyme will get denatured and the substrate will no longer be able to dissolve in water.

Mitochondria and chloroplasts
Grace [21]

Answer:

C. prokaryotic cells

Definitions

The Mitochondrion is an organelle in the cytoplasm of cells that functions in energy production.

Chloroplast is usually defined as a plastic containing chlorophyll.

Chlorophyll is the green coloring matter of leaves and plants, essential to the production in a bluish-black form, C55H72MgN405 (chlorophyll a), and a dark-green form, C55H70MgN4O6 (chlorophyll b).  

A root cell is one of the maestro cells in the human organic structure that has possible ability of turning into any of the more than the organic structure's 200 cell types.  

Prokaryotes is any cellular organism that has no nuclear membrane, no organelles in the cytoplasm except ribosomes, and has its genetic material in the form of single continuous strands forming coils or loops, characteristic of all organisms in the kingdom Monera, as the bacteria and blue-green algae.

<h2>What are the similarities and differences between prokaryotes, mitochondria, and chloroplasts?</h2>

Both mitochondria and heterotrophic prokaryotes, as well as chloroplasts and autotrophic prokaryotes, have a genetic structure (DNA with a circular double helix shape and the genes themselves), as well as comparable ribosome types. In reality, the endosymbiotic idea is based on these parallels.

Whats the relationship between DNA,chromosomes,and genes?
Elina [12.6K]
DNA is a chain of nucleotides bonded together.  On that chain there are particular portions of it that the sequence of the nucleotide codes for particular proteins; this is known as a gene.  In eukaryotric cells, DNA is coiled around proteins such as histones to form chromatids which when two join at the centre by a centromere to form a chromosome.
