What are the differences between autolysis and decomposition? CSI

1 answer:

4 0

Autolysis is a process by which a biological cell self-destructs. It is uncommon in adult organisms and usually occurs in injured cells or dying tissue. It occurs when a lysosome allows the digestive enzymes out of its membranes. The cell then, in effect, digests itself. The effect of autolysis is usually lessened in organelles separated from a cell using cell fractionation, usually by keeping the organelle in the same conditions it was in before removal; usually keeping organelles as 'ice-cold isotonic buffers'.
while Apoptosis(pronounced ă-pŏp-tŏ’sĭs, apo tō' sis) is a form of programmed cell death in multicellular organisms. It is one of the main types of programmed cell death (PCD) and involves a series of biochemical events leading to a characteristic cell morphology and death, in more specific terms, a series of biochemical events that lead to a variety of morphological changes, including blebbing, changes to the cell membrane such as loss of membrane asymmetry and attachment, cell shrinkage, nuclear fragmentation, chromatin condensation, and chromosomal DNA fragmentation. Processes of disposal of cellular debris whose results do not damage the organism differentiates apoptosis from necrosis.

An ecosystem food chain always starts with producers

Consumers then consume the energy from producers (prey on them)

Decomposers are organisms which break down dead material and provide energy to the environment for which producers can use which creates a looped cycle

The maximum number of orbits in an atom is _____.

julia-pushkina [17]

Each energy level has at least one orbital with two electrons. The orbits are located in the sublevels and there can be more than one sublevel as the number of energy levels increase. On energy level one, there is one sublevel and one orbital. Energy level two can have two sublevels and two orbitals.These continue to grow as you move from the center of the atom, ending up with an unlimited possible number of levels and orbits.

The maximum number of orbits in an atom is seven.

Hope this helps! :))

What succession is a man-made secondary succession that occurs when a farmer stops cultivating their field for a lengthy period

harkovskaia [24]

The Old field succession is a man-made secondary succession that occurs when a farmer stops cultivating their field for a lengthy period of time.

The definition of old fields, which has been a topic of discussion among modern ecologists for some time, is that they are an intermediate stage in the natural succession of an ecosystem moving towards its climax community. Many times, old field sites are marginal lands with poor soil quality that are unfit for pasture or farming.

The terms "grass and forbs stage," "shrub and sapling stage," "pole stage," and "mature forest" are frequently used by foresters to describe these stages. Forest succession is the process by which plant communities develop in a regular, predictable manner.

When a farmer gives up on a farm, the abandoned land quickly becomes overgrown with weeds and grass.

Culturing of the sputum resulted in the growth of distinct colonies on the medium, and the technician informs you that further i

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is: B. pure culture.

Explanation:

Sputum sample contains varied types of bacteria.
When this sample is cultured on a growth medium all the different types of bacteria grow on it.
A single distinct colony of bacteria is formed from by multiple divisions of a single bacterial cell.
In the given growth medium distinct colonies of bacteria are formed.
Each such colony is formed from a single bacteria.
When such a single distinct colony is inoculated in a separate medium and bacteria is grown in that, then a Pure culture of bacteria is generated.
A Pure culture can be defined as such a culture which is comprised of single type of bacterial cell, formed from a single bacteria.
