Answer:
Lactose is more likely to be utilised by E. Coli than Arabinose because Lactose will yield more energy (ATP) and lactose breakdown will give glucose and galactose and these will enter into the glycolytic pathways to pyruvate for ATP generation until Arabinose which will undergo Pentose phosphate pathway and this does not produce enough energy.
Answer:
I have identified <em>Escherichia coli </em>and<em> Bacillus sp.</em>
Explanation:
I obtained my sample from soil, in a park near my house. The common bacteria on soil are gram positive and gram negative.
I found rods, and some are gram positive and long. They others are gram negative and very small and short.
The color of the gram positive is a dark blue, almost purple, and they are big and abundant, they are almost in lines, so I think they are a species of <em>Bacillus.</em>
The gram negative bacteria are extremely small and they look hot pink. They are very probably enterobacteria, and the most common enterobacteria is <em>Escherichia coli</em>. They do not have a particular order of arrangement.
Answer:
b. forward mutation, suppressor mutation
Explanation:
When the nucleotide sequence of an organism is altered, it is called as mutation. It can be caused by DNA damage or replication errors. In forward mutation, the wild type allele is converted to a mutant version such that the gene product is non functional or its not produced at all. Suppressor mutation is the second mutation which reverses the phenotypic effects of the previous mutation. This process is called as synthetic rescue.
Since here gene X was converted into a mutant form by the mutation, it had undergone forward mutation. When gene Y was mutated, the function of gene X was restored which ultimately also restored the phenotype hence it is an example of suppressor mutation.
Answer:
D. Weight varies with location, but mass does not vary
Explanation:
Weight can be defined as the force acting on a body or an object as a result of gravity.
Mathematically, the weight of an object is given by the formula;
Where;
- m is the mass of the object.
- g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Mass can be defined as a measure of the amount of matter an object or a body comprises of. The standard unit of measurement of the mass of an object or a body is kilograms.
Irrespective of the location of an object or a body at a given moment in time, the mass (amount of matter that they're made up of) is constant. This ultimately implies that, whether you're in the moon, space, earth or any other place, your mass remains the same (constant).
<em>Hence, the statement that correctly compares mass and weight is that, weight varies with location, but mass does not vary. This is simply because acceleration due to gravity changes with location i.e its value varies with the planets.</em>
