Based on this evidence, which of the following types of symbiotic relationships do you suspect might be occurring between the spider and the bacteria?

Answer:

The right answer is c. commensalistic

Explanation:

Commensalism is a type of relationship between two individuals in which one of the individuals becomes benefitted from the other individual and the other individual is not harmed and even not get benefitted from the counterpart.

So, in this case, the bacteria that were living in the spider's gut are benefitted because they got space and environment to live and the spider is not harmed and benefitted because there is no negative effect of presence and absence of bacteria on spider's health which was proved by antibiotic treatment.

Therefore commensalistic relationship might be occurring between spider and the bacteria. So the correct answer is c.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae (a yeast species) mutants are available that grow on pyruvate or ethanol, but not sugars or glycerol.
mezya [45]

Answer:

The enzyme is the pyruvate kinase

Explanation:

The designated enzyme can only grow in pyruvate or in ethanol. They are said to be in anaerobic conditions. If the end product of glycolysis is pyruvate and the enzyme that transforms phosphoenol pyruvate into pyruvate is called pyruvate kinase. In a reaction under anaerobic conditions, the pyruvate is transformed into ethanol. So if the pyruvate kinase enzyme is mutated, pyruvate cannot be transformed into ethanol and Saccharomyces cerevisiae could not survive in that medium.
