A scientist observes some cells under a compound microscope and needs to determine if they are bacteria or yeast. Aside from siz

Answer:

Peptidoglycan and chitin.

Explanation:

Bacteria and yeast differ from each due to the different chemical composition of their cell wall.

Chitin: chitin is a large structural polysaccharide that is derived from chains of modified glucose. It is the primary components of cell wall in fungi such as yeast. Chitin is a minor component in the yeast cell wall, it accounts for only 1-2% of the cell wall dry mass. Chitin contributes to the mechanical strength of the cell wall.

Peptidoglycan: Peptidoglycan also known as murein is a polymer that makes up a the cell wall of a bacterium. It is composed of sugars and amino acids. A bacteria is a unicellular organism, therefore Peptidoglycan gives strength to the outer structure of the organism.

Answer:

chitin and murein

Explanation:

The chemical compounds that distinguish bacteria cell from yeast cell are  

chitin and murein

Chitin is a polysaccharide present in the exoskeleton of fungi made up of chains of modified glucose known as N-acetylglucosamine. N-acetylglucosamine is derived from glucose

While murein is a mesh like structure made up of sugar and amino acids. Murein forms a layer outside the plasma membrane of bacterial cell.

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Zooplankton help other populations survive by keeping out other herbivores

Explanation:

This is because a keystone species are species that have large effect on the the habitat and through its effect they help to keep the ecosystem in existence. They make sure that the ecosystem exist. They help populations survive by keeping out herbivores and feeding on the algae. They help drive nutrients cycle and transfer energy from algae to invasive fish.

Compared to the inertia of a 1-kilogram mass, the
avanturin [10]

Answer:

D. 4 times as great

Explanation:

The inertia of an object is the resistance offered by the object to change in its motion or position.

Then concept of inertia is obtained from Newton's first law of motion which states that an object which is not subjected to any net external force will remain its position of rest or constant velocity of motion until some net external force acts on it. The object at rest will then start to move whereas the object moving at constant velocity will experience a change in its speed or direction of motion.

This reluctance to change position is greater, the more massive an object is as well as the higher the speed of motion of the object. Thus, inertia is directly proportional to the mass of the object as well to the velocity of an object in motion.

From Newton's first law, inertia can be calculated as the force to be overcome to mobile an object, i.e. Inertia = F = ma

Where m is mass of object, a = acceleration of the object.

Objects on the earth's surface experience a constant acceleration, g.

Thus for a 1 kg mass, Inertia = 1 × g

For a 4 kg mass, inertia = 4 × g

The inertia of a 4 kg mass is four times as great as a 1 kg mass.
