Answer:

The correct answer is D) assimilation of external DNA into a cell

Explanation:

A bacteria is called transformed when it consist a genetic material that is not it's own but taken from outside the cell. So transformation of bacterial cell defines the uptake of foreign DNA by bacterial cell from its surrounding.

This transformation in bacteria is necessary because it provides bacteria some new and extra genes that help it to survive in the adverse and changing environment.  

Transformation can result in getting the antibiotic-resistant gene to the bacteria which protect the bacteria from antibiotics during infection when antibiotic is used against it.

So the right answer is D) assimilation of external DNA into a cell.

Miguel's doctor has recommended that he consume less saturated fat. at his favorite fast-food restaurant, miguel chooses a grill
salantis [7]
Each gram of saturated fat give 9 calories. If Miguel's choice of the menu contained 6 gram of saturated fat,he choice contained 6g*9cal/g=54cal.
Miguel's choice had a total of 460 calories. 54 calories of saturated fat is equivalent to (54cal*100%)/460cal=11.74%.
The percentage of calories from saturated fat is 11.74.

3. What adaptation of land plants helps it to control gas exchange with the atmosphere?
Alecsey [184]
3) C. Stomata, as I explained in my previous answer.

4) B. Nonvascular, low-hanging plants living in moist environs don't have to fight gravity nearly as much as tall ones do. So they needn't highly developed vessels to transport to their tips

5) B. Gravity, see above. The higher trees/plants grew, the further their apical structures were from ground water sources, so the lignin-supported, strong vascular tissue (phloem) allows the transport of water against gravity, using a capillary method (benefiting from the adhesive effect of water molecules).

How do stomata help plants maintain homeostasis?
Tresset [83]

Answer:

CO2 enters the stomata during the day when they are open for photosynthesis. In exchange, O2 exits the stomata. While the stomata are open, there is a risk of water loss resulting in wilting and maybe death. The stomata help to conserve water at night while they are closed. Also, their waxy covering “cuticle” helps minimize water loss. On a very hot day, the stomata May close to preserve water but it comes with a cost, because if they close, photosynthesis slows down.
