Answer:

<em>Proteus</em>

Explanation:

Proteus is a gram-negative bacteria belonging to the family <em>Enterobacteriaceae</em>. The Enterobacteriaceae family are gram negative rod, facultatively aerobic, nonsporulating and oxidase negative. They ferment glucose.

The oxidase test is used to differentiate between member of the family and <em>Pseudomonas </em>(<em>Pseudomonas </em>is oxidase positive).

<em>Proteus </em>is known for its ability to swarm a culture medium due to its high motility (called swarming motility). <em>Proteus </em>is also urease positive, it produces the enzyme urease, which catalyses the breakdown of urea.

Compare and contrast the extracellular matrix of animals and the cell wall of plants. Consider their functions and the types of
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The plant cell wall is strengthened by the molecular structure of cellulose. Cellulose is made up of ß-glucose arranged upside down, this arrangement aided hydrogen bonds between the hydrogen ions of the  hydroxyl group and oxygen of the of the ring   of same  betta -glucose.

The aggregation of the hydrogen  bonds give bundles of  strong tensile  strength of cellulose called the  microfibrils (of 60-70 celluose molecules).They are  held together in bundled called fibers.T<u>hese is the source of  plant cell walls  strength. </u>

<u />

Collagen is the main extracellur matrix (EM) in animal cells.It is a glycoprotein made up of 25%of body protein of animals.Each collagen molecule is made of helix shaped ,three polypeptide chains, wound around each other to form<u> triple helix.</u>The bonds  holding helix together are hydrogen and covalent bonds.

Each triple helix is attached to adjacent collagen molecule, parallel  to it. The covalent bonds formed a cross link which held  the collagen molecules together forming FIBRILS.  This gives flexibility to collagen, while maitaing strong tensile strength. This is what is responsible for the structural strength of cell membrane .

.The  EM,is  futher reinforced with  carbohydrate molecules(proteoglycans) which<u> aided in water movements by  osmosis following  sodium movements into the matrix.</u>

What does it mean to have similar embryos?
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Signposts that determine the fate of cells.

Explanation:

Embryos for humans and other animals often look alike at certain developmental stages because they share ancient genes. This expression means that a more advanced organism, like humans, will resemble less advanced species during it's development stages.

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The Lucille’s cells need Oxygen and glucose in order to function her body properly.

Explanation:

Our body breakdown the glucose using oxygen in order to produce energy.

By respiratory system we inhale oxygen and

By digestive system we digest food into glucose.

Our circulatory system transfer the Glucose and Oxygen to the all cells of our body,

Hence we can conclude that the Lucille’s cells need Oxygen and glucose in order to function her body properly.
