Hello!
It means sugar splitting, which is exactly what is happening, glucose is broken down into three carbon sugars.
I really hope my answer helped you out! :)
Most bacteria live in a solution that is hypotonic relative to the cytoplasm of the bacteria. This means that the bacterial cell is constantly taking in water. The cell wall of a bacterium is a peptidoglycan polymer that is tightly cross-linked. This would therefore function to:_________-.
A. regulate the flow of most molecules into and out of the bacterial cell.
B. provide a rigid wall that prevents the cell from swelling.
C. provide a rigid wall that prevents the cell from shrinking.
D. confirm a close relationship to plant cells that have a similar structure and live in hypotonic solutions.
E. make all bacteria fairly uniform in metabolic chemistry.
Answer:
B. provide a rigid wall that prevents the cell from swelling.
Explanation:
When organisms are present in hypotonic surroundings, their cells that are in contact with the surroundings tend to gain water. Bacteria present in hypotonic solution would gain water as their cells are hypertonic than the surroundings. The entry of water would increase the volume of cytoplasm and could lead to the bursting of the cell. However, the presence of a cell wall made up of cross-linked peptidoglycan prevents the swelling of the bacterial cell and allow them to survive in hypotonic surroundings.
The answer is 22.5 lb/gal.
The density of a liquid is quotient of mass and volume: D = m/V. The unit of the density is pound per gallon (lb/gal)
The density is unknown: D=?
But, we have:
mass: m= 90 lbs
volume: V = 4 gals
Do, the density of a liquid is:
D = 90 lbs / 4 gals
D = 22.5 lb/gal
