Answer:

The answer is option B. autotrophs

Explanation:

Decomposers release nutrients like nitrogen and carbon dioxide as well as water when they feed on dead plants and animals. Decomposers include fungi, bacteria and earthworms.

These nutrients are released into air, soil and water and serve as nutrients for autotrophs. Autotrophs produce their own food from sunlight energy, water and carbon dioxide. Example include green plants; which by the process of photosynthesis produce their own food using carbon dioxide and soil nutrients.

Which of the following cellular environments is conducive to the formation of disulfide bonds within or between proteins? Choose
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Rough endoplasmic reticulum and Mitochondria.

Explanation:

Disulfide bonds are known as covalent bonds. They are formed by the oxidation of 2 cysteines and these bonds can provide stability to proteins. These bonds mainly formed in intermembrane space of mitochondria and cellular compartments outside the cytoplasm endoplasmic reticulum. Both of these organelles present in an oxidation state providing an atmosphere for disulfide bond formation.

Cytoplasm and Nuclei mostly exit in reducing state because of the existence of disulfide reductase which is reducing the disulfide bonds between the cysteine residue to thiolate state. So, the disulfide bond formation will not happen.

using the process of bacterial transformtion, a student reseacher inserted a plasmid containing a gene for antibiotic resistance
Elena-2011 [213]

Transfer of newly created plasmids to e coli. The bacteria that contains a plasmid with antibiotic resistance will grow in the presence of antibiotic concludes that the insertion was successful.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The plasmid DNA that contains the foreign DNA when integrated with the competent bacteria which is e coli and heated,  plasmid DNA will be entering into the bacteria by means of some smaller pores that are created in the  membranes of the cell.

The plasmid DNA will be copied many times with the help of the replicating mechanism of DNA of the bacteria. Bacteria will grow on a nutrient rich food called agar after the transformation process. Those bacteria that contains a plasmid containing antibiotic resistance only grow in the antibiotic presence. Transformed bacteria will then grow in larger quantity.
