Answer:

A group of bacteria that accumulate in layers and secrete an protective extracellular material.

Explanation:

The biofilm is a natural way how the bacteria get together to survive in an ecosystem or in another living thing. They build little by little this kind of building with different layers of bacteria that secrets a polymer, this protection polymer could be useful to protect the colony or to be attach to another cell or to a tissue. In medicine and in veterinarian studies is interesting because can be useful to create a film to protect some injuries.

Answer: A group of bacteria that accumulate in layers and secrete an protective extracellular material

Explanation:

Biofilm comprises any spectrum of microorganisms, including pathogens in <u>which cells stick to each other and to a surface</u>, so they become adherent cells. These cells become embedded within an extracellular matrix that is composed of extracellular polymeric substances (polysaccharides, lipids, proteins and DNA) which surrounds and protects cells. <u>For this reason, bacterial biofilms cause chronic infections because they show increased tolerance to antibiotics.</u>

Answer:The permeability increases as the duration of exposure to light

Evolution is a long and arduous process that has created humans with many different traits. Can you think of some genetic mutati
ehidna [41]

Answer:

discovery in 2008 where researchers found the ACTN3 gene known as the super sprinter gene that controls fast twitch muscle fibers in sprinters. this gene is apparent in a lot of sprinters, and we know it is a mutation because about 18% of people today actually have 2 defective ones, thus not having the ACTN3 gene at all.

There's this other famous one where this gene low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5, or LRP5 causes extra bone density. usually when LRP5 is inhibited or impaired, this causes osteoporosis, but when it is mutated a different way, it can cause increased bone density. a bunch of generations of a family had never broken a bone in their life because of this. cool stuff.

There's also this trait originating from Africa that people with the sickle cell anemia, no matter if it is active or not, have some resistance towards malaria, good mutataion.
