Answer: The bacteria transformed with this particular plasmid will form white colonies on the plates containing ampicillin and Xgal.
Explanation: The lacZ gene produces an enzyme called β-galactosidase which is responsible for the breakdown of lactose into glucose and galactose. The lacZ gene is one of the three genes (the other two being lacA and lacY) of the lac operon which is responsible for the transport and mechanism of lactose in E. coli and many other bacteria.
In recombinant DNA technology, when a plasmid is to be used to transform a host cell, such markers are used to help screen the transformed cells from the ones that have not taken up the plasmid. Xgal present in the plates is an artificial substrate which is hydrolyzed by
β-galactosidase into 5-bromo-4-chloro-indoxyl which will dimerize and oxidise into 5,5'-dibromo-4,4'dichloro-indigo. This is a blue pigment which will give blue color to the bacterial cells. Introducing a DNA fragment in this lacZ gene will make it non-functional so it will not be able to produce the enzyme.
Therefore, when a bacterial cell is transformed with a plasmid containing ampicillin resistance gene and a DNA fragment introduced in the lacZ gene and then grown on plates containing ampicillin and Xgal, white colored colonies will appear. The white colonies will show the bacterial cells that have successfully taken up the plasmid with the DNA fragment incorporated in the lacZ gene as this will render the gene non-functional and will not produce β-galactosidase which will breakdown Xgal to give blue colonies. Since the plates contain ampicillin, only the bacterial cells that have been successfully transformed with the plasmid ( the ones that have the DNA fragment and the ones without it) will grow as the ampicillin resistance will give them resistance against ampicillin in the plates. The bacterial cells that have not taken up the plasmid will not be resistant to ampicillin and will not form colonies on the plate.
This is called blue-white screening which is used to identify successfully transformed host cells. A picture of this is given in the attachment, taken from the following website:

Answer:
A food chain is a representation of what eats what in an ecosystem.
A combination of food chains is termed as a food web.
Example of two food chains in a food web are :
Example No 1:
Plant----- Grasshopper------ Frog---snake--- bacteria
Example No 2:
Plant---- rabbits---- fox---- bacteria
In a food chain, producers are usually plants and algae which are able to make their own food. Consumers feed on the plants. In example no 1, grasshoppers are primary consumers, frogs are secondary consumers, snakes are tertiary consumers.
In example no 2,plants are producers, rabbits are primary consumers and foxed are secondary consumers.
Decomposers are organisms that feed on the dead organisms in a food chain. In both the examples of food chain, bacteria are the decomposers.
Answer:
chloroplast: makes food for plant cells, photosynthesis
mitochondria:produces energy the cell needs to carry out its functions; release energy
vacuole: stores food, water, and waste
lysosome: found mainly in animal cells, digests old cell parts
endoplasmic reticulum: carries proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to the other
cytoplasm: gel -like fluid where the organelles are found
nucleolus: makes ribosomes, center of the nucleus
ribosome: makes proteins
cell membrane:controls
Explanation:
I'm pretty sure the answer is D based on the info above,and because its the only one that has the correct information about the cell parts
hope its correct
C, triglyceride and cellulose
triglycerides make up lipids. cellulose is not a lipid, but a carbohydrate. carbohydrates are made from sugars :)
