Both the shrimps and the cockroaches are considered to be as scavengers at any point because they feed on dead organisms. Therefore the most accurate statement among the two organisms is "<span>Both animals are detrivores, and they fill the same niche in different environments."</span>

Answer:

A) Both animals are detrivores, and they fill the same niche in different environments.

Explanation:

Niche of an organism refers to its habitat, activity role and functional position within system. Detritivores are the organisms that feed on dead and decaying organic matter and serve to release the nutrients back in the environment. Since both shrimp and cockroach feed on dead and decaying organic matter, both are detritivorous. Being found in different habitat, they fulfill the same niche (same functional role, that is, the role of detritivore) in different environments.

One of your lab partners has followed the recommended procedure of running Gram-positive and Gram-negative control organisms on
kow [346]

Answer:

The correct answer is "I would suggest her to change the Gram positive control from Bacillus subtilis to other bacteria".

Explanation:

Bacillus subtilis, and the species from the genre Bacillus, are known for losing the crystal violet coloration during Gram testing. It is likely that B. subtilis might look pink under the procedure for this reason. I would suggest to change her Gram positive control from B. subtilis to other bacteria. For instance, she could try with Staphylococcus aureus, a widely used bacteria as Gram positive control.

Explain why red blood cells are unable to replace damaged proteins
Harman [31]


The sole reason why red blood cells are unable to replace damaged proteins is that red blood cells lack DNA and cell organelles such as nucleus, ribosomes and mitochondria which are crucial for protein synthesis, assembly and repair. In other words they lack both the information and the machinery for making or repair of proteins.

Due to  lack of DNA and cell organelles, red blood cells cannot be able satisfy the central dogma which  summarizes synthesis of proteins as DNA → RNA → proteins.

DNA has the genetic information on how proteins should be made, RNA is responsible for transferring the information from DNA in the cell nucleus to the ribosomes  in the cytoplasm,  then translating or decoding  this information, which results in the making of  protein.
