Answer:

As the graph is not provided, lets answer this question generally.

Explanation:

Carrying capacity can be described as the maximum number of organisms of a species that a particular habitat can support. Beyond the carrying capacity, the resources will start to deplete and competition will begin for these resources among the organisms. As a result, the population will start to decline due to lesser number of resources available.

In the above experiment, although the scientist is adding flour for the beetles every 17 days but as the population increases, the flour will not be enough for all the beetles.

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

A combination of polypeptides and modified sugars that enclose the entire eubacteria.

Explanation:

A component of bacterial cell walls called peptidoglycan (PGN) promotes innate immune responses. Peptidoglycan, a polymer made of sugars and amino acids, creates the cell wall of the majority of bacteria by producing a layer that resembles a mesh outside the plasma membrane. N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid residues are alternated in the sugar component. forms a saccules in the cell wall of most bacteria that resembles a bag. It controls bacterial cell shape and is crucial for osmotic stability. A heteropolymer made up of glycan strands carrying small peptides is known as a peptidoglycan.
