Answer: The statement is TRUE.

Explanation:

Gram negative bacteria is a type of bacteria that possesses, from the interior to the exterior, a cytoplasmic membrane, a thin peptidoglycan layer, and an outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharide. The lipid portion of the lipopolysaccharide complex of the outer layer acts as an ENDOTOXIN.

The endotoxin of the gram negative bacteria can be detected in research or biomedical laboratories through a technique called LIMULUS AMEBOCYTE LYSATE test.

The test procedure follows a principle that the endotoxin of these gram negative bacteria are capable of forming gel clots (coagulation) of blood cell (amoebocytes) lysates of the Limulus polyphemus crab.

Therefore, If LAL (limulus amebocyte lysate) turns into a gel when exposed to a sample, it

means the sample is contaminated with endotoxins of gram-negative bacteria.

I’m pretty sure flowers, when they are buds, are protected by leaf-like structures called “sepals.” All of the sepals collectively are called a calyx. They protect the bud and are behind the actual flower petals when it blooms. Hope this helped.

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is ribosomes

Explanation:

Bacteria is a prokaryote which means that it does not have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles which are present in all eukaryotic cell-like plant cell and animal cell. All three cells have some common structures like cytoplasm and cell membrane.  

Apart from the cell membrane and cytoplasm ribosomes are the structure which is present plant, animal, and bacterial cell. Ribosomes are present in all these cells because it helps in the translation process to make protein in all there models.

In bacteria, transcription and translation are coupled because the nucleus is not present in them to separate them.

Paraphrasing is the act of rewording, revising, simplifying and expressing the text in your own words with additional clarity. Note that condensing the text to a shorter form should not be in your interests because that would be summarizing, not paraphrasing. Check this out:

Nonliving organisms and lifeless organisms are not the same thing. Inanimate organisms are not dead, they're nonliving. Being nonliving means not having a characteristic of life, it means that the object is inorganic. A valid example could be a rock. A rock has never had a characteristic of life. Being deceased means that life once inhabited the being and has left it. Just as a moose gains life from conception, it's deemed dead once life has left it. In science, nonliving organisms and lifeless organisms are not the same thing; one was gifted life and one was inanimate from the beginning.
