Which structure contains peptidoglycan in bacteria? What is the name of the structure?
Natalija [7]

Peptidoglycan is present in the cell wall of gram-positive bacteria. Bacteria are safeguarded by a robust cell wall comprising peptidoglycan. The layer of peptidoglycan in the cell wall of bacteria refers to a crystal lattice composition produced from linear chains of two alternating amino sugars, that is NAM (N-acetylmuramic acid) and NAG (N-acetylglucosamine). Peptidoglycans is one of the most essential sources of D-amino acids in nature.

The ____________ (size/color) of crystals formed depends on the speed of evaporation.
serg [7]

The right answer is the size.

Crystallization is the operation that consists, of a solution (solvent + solute) or a molten solid, to form a crystallized solid. The solute crystallizes in general in a predefined geometrical form (cubic, face-centered cubic, etc.), including or not solvent molecules (eg pure NA2SO4 or [Na2SO4, 10H2O]). The form or chemical formula of the crystals may depend on the crystallization temperature.

There are two ways of crystallization: The dry way and the wet way (in solution)

In crystallization in solution: the solute is initially in the liquid phase in a solvent. It is crystallized (solidification ordered according to a regular structure) within the solution either by solvent evaporation, or by cooling the solution, or both.

A race car drives one lap around a race track that is 500 meters in length. What is the driver's displacement at the end of the
Temka [501]

Answer:

zero

Explanation:

Displacement is a vector, meaning that the direction is  very important. Displacement is the distance from the starting point to wherever the object is. So a car that does a 500 m lap will have covered 500 m in distance but displacement is zero because, having come back to the starting point, the distance between the starting point and where the object is, is zero.
