Answer:

The correct option is : a. diameter    

Explanation:

The Kirby–Bauer test or the disk diffusion test, is a method to determine the antibiotic sensitivity of the given bacteria. This test involves the use of antibiotic discs to determine the effect of antibiotics on the bacteria.

In this test, the wafers having antibiotics and the bacteria are placed on the agar plate and incubated. If the antibiotics present stops the growth of the bacteria, there will be an area around wafer with no bacterial growth, such an area is known as the zone of inhibition.

<u>The </u><u>diameter of this zone of inhibition</u><u> is measured to determine the </u><u>antibiotic sensitivity of the given bacteria</u><u>.</u>

Which statement best describes the cell membrane?
vredina [299]

Answer:C). A phospholipid bilayer with proteins

Explanation: A cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer with proteins embedded in it. The fatty acyl chains of the phospholipids are non polar and hydrophobic while the phosphate groups are polar and hydrophilic. The hydrophobic regions of the phospholipids interact with each by facing each other, forming a bilayer with a fluid interior. The polar head groups face outward interacting with the external environment of the cell. Proteins are embedded in this bilayer and they float in this sea of phospholipids. Proteins anchored to the membrane through interactions between the hydrophobic regions of the phospholipids and the amino acid side chains of the proteins. These lipids and proteins swim laterally in each face of the bilayer but movement from one face of the bilayer to another is restricted.
