The option which best describes the cell cycle is the first one - cells spend more time in prophase than any other phase, where DNA condenses to prepare for division.
Prophase is the first phase in the cell cycle, which prepares everything and ensures that the division goes smoothly.

Correct answer: B). Cells spend the most time in interphase, where they grow and their DNA replicates.

The cell spends its most of the time in the interphase, during this phase of growth, cell continues to grow and carry out its metabolic activities which are necessary for regular growth and maintenance.

During this phase of the cell cycle, a lot of protein is synthesized in order to double its size. The important changes that occur in this phase include DNA duplication and division of chloroplast and mitochondria.

Hence, the correct answer would be option B.

1.what are the characteristics of bacteria
qwelly [4]
#1: Bacteria are like eukaryotic cells in that they have cytoplasm, ribosomes, and a plasma membrane. Features that distinguish a bacterial cell from a eukaryotic cell include the circular DNA of the nucleoid, the lack of membrane-bound organelles, the cell wall of peptidoglycan, and flagella. #2: Archaea have more complex RNA polymerases than Bacteria, similar to Eucarya. Unlike bacteria, archaea cell walls do not contain peptidoglycan. Archaea have different membrane lipid bonding from bacteria and eukarya. There are genetic differences. #10: Bacteria are classified into 5 groups according to their basic shapes: spherical (cocci), rod (bacilli), spiral (spirilla), comma (vibrios) or corkscrew (spirochaetes). They can exist as single cells, in pairs, chains or clusters. #12: Bacteria reproduce .In this process the bacterium, which is a single cell, divides into two identical daughter cells. Binary fission begins when the DNA of the bacterium divides into two (replicates). Each daughter cell is a clone of the parent cell. #13: Pathogenic bacteria are bacteria that can cause disease. ... One of the bacterial diseases with the highest disease burden is tuberculosis, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which kills about 2 million people a year, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. Infection with a pathogen does not necessarily lead to disease. Infection occurs when viruses, bacteria, or other microbes enter your body and begin to multiply.Pathogenic microbes challenge the immune system in many ways. Viruses make us sick by killing cells or disrupting cell function. #14: Antibiotics work by affecting things that bacterial cells have but human cells don't. For example, human cells do not have cell walls, while many types of bacteria do. The antibiotic penicillin works by keeping a bacterium from building a cell wall. HOPE I HELPED I Don’t NO #11

Can you elaborate on the reason disruptions of the cell cycle lead to many types of diseases such as cancer?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

If a checkpoint fails or if a cell suffers physical damage to chromosomes during cell division, or if it suffers a debilitating somatic mutation in a prior S phase, it may selfdestruct in response to a consequent biochemical anomaly.

Why is oxygen consumption a good measure of respiration in yeast?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The respiration of a suspension of yeast cells was measured by determining the decrease in pressure of the gas above the cell suspension. The apparatus was arranged so that the gas was confined to a constant volume, 16 cm3 and the entire pressure change was caused by the uptake of oxygen by the cells. The pressure was measured in a monometer, the fluid of which had a density of 1.034 g/cm3. The entire apparatus was immersed in a thermostat at 37. In a 30 minute observation period the fluid in the open side of the manometer dropped 37mm. Neglecting the solubility of oxygen in the yeast suspension, compute the rate oxygen consumption by the cells in mm3 of O2 (STP) per hour
