At the doctor’s office, the doctor drains the abscess and takes a sample for culturing. she also prescribes some broad-spectrum

antibiotics to treat the obvious infection. a couple days later, the doctor tells sam that his wound contained a number of bacteria including pasteurella multocida. when the dog bit sam’s arm p. multocida entered the wound and started to establish an infection. in order to do so, the bacteria have to grow, which requires energy. one of the most common energy sources used by bacteria is glucose. why is glucose such a good source of energy for bacteria?

Glucose is the simplest form of energy, which means that the bacteria doesn't need to break it down any farther(which uses energy) in order to intake the sugar. Therefore glucose is the most efficient energy source.

Here is the answer based on the given scenario above. One of the most common energy sources used by bacteria is glucose and it is such a good source of energy for bacteria because g<span>lucose is a highly reduced compound, containing many carbon-hydrogen bonds and a lot of potential energy. Hope this helps.</span>

You are on vacation and see an organism that you do not recognize. discuss what possible steps you can take to classify it.
bija089 [108]

Taxonomy is the branch of Science, in which we study the Classification of Organisms. On discovering an unknown organism, begin classification by looking for anatomical features that appear to have the same function as those found on other species.

In order to correctly classify an organism, scientists use many modern tools.

1.Morphology describes the physical characteristics of an organism. Typically, this is enough information to place the organism within a domain and kingdom.

2.DNA and biochemical analysis allow scientists to test less visible, but distinguishing, characteristics.

3.Comparing embryology allows scientists to group organisms that share common fetal development.

<span>4.Evolutionary phylogeny describes the evolutionary relationships between organisms.</span>These relationships are deduced based on shared traits that may have been passed from ancestor to new species. Traits may include physical traits (ex. presence of jaws), or may be genetic traits (shared genes).

Select the correct location on the image. An injury to which marked region would hamper the sleep-wake cycle?
Soloha48 [4]
I attached the image related to your concerned question. 

In theory, the part of the brain that is responsible for the sleep wake cycle is the hypothalamus; specifically, the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus. In the image, the location of the hypothalamus is pointed by the green square.

A wild-type tomato plant (Plant 1) is homozygous dominant for three traits: solid leaves (MM), normal height (DD), and smooth sk
Brut [27]

Answer: In this type of cross between MmDdPp and mmddpp, the phenotypic ratios in the eight possible phenotypes are as follow; a. solid, normal, smooth = 1:8

b. solid, normal, peach = 1:8

c. solid, dwarf, smooth = 1:8

d. solid, dwarf, peach = 1:8

e. mottled, normal, smooth = 1:8

f. mottled, normal, peach = 1:8

g. mottled, dwarf, smooth = 1:8

h. mottled, dwarf, peach = 1:8

Explanation: The number of gametes that can be formed from a particular genotype is given as 2^n where n is the number of heterozygous loci. In the genotype MmDdPp, n = 3. Therefore, 8 gametes can be formed.

In genotype mmddpp, n = 0. Therefore, only one type of gamete can be formed.

Crossing the two genotype (MmDdPp and mmddpp) as shown in the attached image, 8 possible offsprings can be achieved. Phenotypes of these offspring had been stated earlier. The phenotypic frequency of each of these offspring is one out of eight (⅛).
