<span>Amino acids are
weak acids that have at least 2 pka values. They have two titratable protons
that composed of alpha carboxyl (-COOH) and alpha amino (-NH3+), but some amino
acids have a third titratable protons with ionizable groups in the R side chain.
In addition, the structure of amino
acids in peptides and proteins are determined by the charges of the titratable
group and by the R group. </span>
<u>Answer</u>: Bacteria through the nucleoid (number 5).
<u>Explanation</u>:
Both paramecium and bacteria are single celled organisms. However, they differ by the fact that the first one is an eukaryote and the second one a prokaryote.
Furthermore, they differ in their capacity to mutate and adapt to environmental changes. Bacteria have a simple internal structure that lacks any organelles and are very adept at adapting to environmental changes. Besides their capacity for high mutation rates, they are also capable of picking up genetic information from their environment through a process called <em>transformation</em>.
Through transofrmation, environmental DNA enter the living bacteria through its cell membrane. Double stranded DNA will have one strand dissolved through hydrolysis, whereas the second strand may recombine with the bacterial <em>chromosome (nucleoid)</em>. Thus, this new genetic material will become incorporated into the bacterium's genome.
Prokaryotic cells reproduce asexually which makes it easier for them to multiply because all they have to do is split in half where as eukaryotic cells reproduce sexually so they have to find another cell to meet with in order to reproduce.
Scientific inference
<span>¯\_(ツ)_/¯</span>
Scientific theories are often so powerful because they have been tested several time by different peoples and they have been found to be true. A scientific theory is a well substantiated explanation for a specific phenomenon which has undergone many observations and experiments and has stand the test of time. Thus, scientific theories always have to be reckon with because they have been severally tested.
