Answer:

Human cells can readily absorb folic acid; bacteria cells cannot.

Explanation:

Bacterial cells cannot absorb folic acid and synthesize it. On the other hand, humans do not synthesize folic acid in their cells. They rather obtain it from the diet. Sulfa drugs, for example, sulfanilamide resemble p-aminobenzoate (PABA). PABA is a molecule that is used as a substrate in the synthesis of the coenzyme folic acid. The sulfa drugs serve as competitive inhibitors and compete with PABA for the catalytic site of an enzyme involved in the folic acid synthesis. This prevents the synthesis of folic acid in bacterial cells and thereby, inhibits bacterial growth.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Fine focus.

Explanation:

If you're referencing a microscope, then it would be fine focus. Coarse focus is a basic focus used to properly see a specimen, while fine focus enhance clarity and precision. To use both, you have to gently twist a knob until you can see the specimen at a desired clarity.

Here's a reference image if you need it, it's labeled all the parts of a microscope.

Green crabs (Carcinus maenas) are hyperosmotic regulators in brackish waters. When water salinity is lowered, a green crab respo
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Explanation:

Green crabs have chemoreceptors located on an <em>antenna</em>.

These are long segmented appendages near the crab´s eyes that have both chemoreceptors and allow them to feel the surroundings.

Crabs also have antennules, like short appendages close to the antennas that allow them to <em>sense</em> their environment. A crab can "taste" using hairs on their mouthparts, pincers and even its feet.

So they can detect the salinity of the water by "taste" using the antennules. If these antennules are bathed with nonsalty water, the information the crab´s brain receives is to increase the salinity of its body by the system explained above, increasing its rate of urine production.

I hope it helps!
