Answer:

Bacteria capsule.

Explanation:

The bacteria capsule is a layer of polysaccharides that is around the bacteria membrane. Its principal function is to protect the bacteria from dehydration, destructive toxins,  and cells that can destruct the bacteria, such as phagosomes. As a result, the bacteria have a higher probability of surviving and colonizing.

Describe the action mechanism of labile toxin by placing the steps in the correct order.
vaieri [72.5K]
I cannot found the exercise anywhere, so I will just explain how the toxin works.

A toxin is a toxic substance made by a living organism such as a bacterium, a fungus, a plant or an animal.

Labil toxins are toxins which are by easily degraded. among these toxins, there is the toxin of Escherichia coli and the cholera toxin of <span>Vibrio cholerea.
</span>
The intracellular target of cholera toxin is adenylate cyclase, one of the most important eukaryotic cell regulatory systems. This enzyme is involved in the conversion of ATP into a cyclic AMP (cAMP), a crucial intracellular messenger in a wide variety of cellular processes.
Cholera toxin catalyzes the transfer of ADP-ribose from NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) to a specific arginine residue of the Gsa protein, resulting in the activation of adenylate cyclase and consequently the increase of the intracellular level cAMP. AMPc activates a cAMP-dependent protein kinase, which leads to phosphorylation of the protein, modification of ion transport and finally diarrhea.

Scientists have successfully cloned animals, including mammals such as sheep. Which statement provides the most likely reason th
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

4) Some people consider human genetic experiments

unethical.

Explanation:

1) Humans have DNA that is structurally very different from

other mammals.

2) Cloning can only he performed on animals that normally

reproduce asexually.

3) Human genes are made of too many different types of

simple sugars.

4) Some people consider human genetic experiments

unethical.

The statement that provides the most likely reason that a human has not yet been cloned is that some people consider human genetic experiment unethical.

<em>Option 1 is incorrect because human DNA is similar in structure to other living organisms with components such as a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar and purine/pyrimidine bases.</em>

<em>Option 2 is incorrect because cloning is not limited to asexually reproducing organisms only. Sheep, for example, produces only sexually and has been successfully been cloned.</em>

<em>Option 3 is incorrect because human genes, just like every other organisms is consist of DNA with deoxyribose pentose sugar being one of the components. The situation of too many different types of simple sugars doe not arise.</em>

The correct option is 4.
