Bacteria are a commonly used organism for studies of genetic material in the research laboratory. The nucleic acids must first b

e isolated from the cells for these studies. Which of the following would most likely be used to lyse the bacterial cells for nucleic acid isolation?

Answer:

The options are not given but the most probable answer is - Lysozyme

Explanation:

Bacteria are commonly used in many genetic research program. So for genetic research, the nucleic acid of bacteria has to be taken out for the molecular studies.  

So to take out the genetic material of bacteria first their cell wall has to be broken and destroyed. Lysozyme is the enzyme that targets the peptidoglycan layer in the bacterial cell wall and breaks it which causes cell wall lysis in bacteria.  

So lysozyme is the enzyme which can be used to lyse the bacterial cells for nucleic acid isolation.

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: a. Photo-periodism

Explanation:

The relative length of the day is considered as a major factor in the development of plants, particularly in sexual reproduction. The plants were grouped considering that the flowering and fruiting occurs only when the length of the day is within certain limits so that these phases are achieved only in certain times of the year. Therefore, some species respond to long days, while others respond to short days, and still, others are capable of responding to all day lengths. The name and meaning of each group became as follows:

Short Day Plants: They are the species that bloom in smaller photoperiods than a critical maximum.

Long day plants. These are the species that bloom in larger photoperiods than a critical minimum.

Neutral day plants: They are those that bloom in a wide range of the photoperiod.

Select TWO events that occur when a neurotransmitter binds and activates an excitatory synapse.
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Key points

Neurons communicate with one another at junctions called synapses. At a synapse, one neuron sends a message to a target neuron—another cell.

Most synapses are chemical; these synapses communicate using chemical messengers. Other synapses are electrical; in these synapses, ions flow directly between cells.

At a chemical synapse, an action potential triggers the presynaptic neuron to release neurotransmitters. These molecules bind to receptors on the postsynaptic cell and make it more or less likely to fire an action potential.

24. Which organism would occupy the
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The organism to have maximum energy would be the algae since ii will be at the lowest level. so the answer is 'B'.

Explanation:

The pyramid of energy shows the flow of energy from one trophic level to other. The lowest trophic level is occupied by the producers. In this case algae acts as the producer. Krill acts as the primary consumer, followed by leopard seal as the secondary consumer and finally killer whale as the tertiary consumer. The <em>lowest trophic level </em> contains maximum energy.

As we go upwards, only 10% of the energy gets transferred to the next trophic level.

Zepler [3.9K]

Professional antigen-presenting cells, such as phagocytes, are the first cells to encounter a pathogen (apcs). This means they have the ability to activate cells of the adaptive immune system.

<h3>What is meant by Pathogen?</h3>
  • A pathogen is an organism that infects its host with disease, and the severity of the disease symptoms is referred to as virulence.
  • Pathogens include viruses, bacteria, unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes, and a wide range of other organisms.
  • The bone marrow of an average healthy adult generates 100 billion new neutrophils per day. Because there are so many neutrophils in the body at any given time, they are often the first cells to reach the site of an infection.
  • Long thought to be a component of the innate immune system, complement has recently emerged as an important regulator of the adaptive immune response.

Therefore the correct option is D)  can activate cells of the adaptive immune system.
