A) Explain why antibiotics would kill a prokaryotic cell. (2 points)

Biology
1 answer:
lisov135 [29]2 years ago

Answer:

Antibiotics are simply chemicals that kill prokaryotic cells but do not harm eukaryotic cells. They are natural chemicals produced by fungi and bacteria that act to control their bacterial competitors. For example, streptomycin stops protein synthesis in prokaryotic cells by binding to their unusual ribosomes.

Explanation:

Sorry if this makes no sense. Basically, the antibiotics will harm/kill cells like the prokaryotic cell, but it won't harm or kill any human cells that are essential. They'll kill bacteria, though. The chemicals in the antibiotics aren't compatible with the ones in the prokaryotic cell, so it'll kill it.

In which sealed container would the organisms be able to continuously cycle O2 and CO2 gases?
Levart [38]
The correct answer is C.
In the aquarium, the water plants would provide the O2 molecules necessary for the snail's metabolism and the snail would release the CO2 molecules that are a byproduct of his metabolism into the container. The CO2 would later be used by plants to make sugar in the process of photosynthesis, releasing more O2 and the cycle of two gases would be completed.

Mendel investigates stem length, or height in pea plants what if he had investigated human height instead why would his results
WINSTONCH [101]

Human height is one of the traits that belong to traits that cannot easily be placed in discrete phenotypic classes (there is not only tall and short people, there is continuous variation of height between them). Such traits are usually controlled by more than one gene (polygenic traits).

On the other hand, a Mendelian trait is controlled by a single locus.

Water and dissolved minerals located in the cell walls and intercellular spaces of the root cortex are in the ___________ (sympl
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

1. Apoplastic

2. Symplastic

3. Symplastic

4. Apoplastic

Explanation:

The interconnected porous cell walls of plant cells make apoplast along which water is allowed to move freely. Symplast refers to the path made up of interconnected cytoplasm of many plant cells connected by plasmodesmata. Therefore, water and dissolved minerals enter the root cortex from the epidermis in the solution can move through symplast and apoplast till endodermis.

Water and dissolved minerals present in the cytoplasm of cortical cells move from one cell to next via plasmodesmata (the symplast) while the ones present in their cell walls and intercellular space move through apoplast. The presence of casparian strips in the endodermal cell wall does not allow the movement of water and minerals through the apoplast.
