False. Decay<span> of dead plant and animal material is normally accomplished by yeast,  or bacteria</span>

No it can depend on what kind of environment and also what you are studying that is decaying. Wood will decay a lot faster than other substances

Almost all animals share the following characteristics except
Aleks [24]

The correct answer is A.

Animal cells do not have a  cell wall.

A cell wall is the rigid, outermost covering of plant cells and is made up of cellulose.  It is absent in animal cells. The cell wall is visible under a light microscope.

Animal cells are instead covered by a cell membrane. It is made up of lipids, proteins, and small amounts carbohydrates. It is a thin and delicate structure  that can only be seen using an electron microscope.

Which best describes the action of vancomycin [vancocin]?
emmainna [20.7K]
The best description would be; Vancomycin inhibits cell wall synthesis promoting bacterial lysis.  Vancomycin is an antibiotic that is used to treat quite a number of bacterial infections. It inhibits cell wall synthesis and promotes bacterial lysis and the death of the bacteria. It does not contain a beta lactam ring, therefore an effective serum trough level is 10 mcg/mL to 20 mcg/mL depending on the severity of the infection and renal function. The drug is an alternative to use in patients allergic to beta-lactam antibiotics.

What is electrophoresis? Why does it allow scientists to separate pieces of DNA?
attashe74 [19]
Genetic fingerprinting – the analysis of DNA in order to identify the individual from which the DNA was taken to establish the genetic relatedness of individuals. It is now commonly used in forensic science (for example to identify someone from a blood sample) and to determine whether individuals of endangered species in captivity have been bred or captured from the wild. 
<span>•DNA sequencing – the determination of the precise sequence of nucleotides in a sample of DNA or even a whole genome e.g. the Human Genome Project. </span>

<span>The process of electrophoresis: </span>
<span>DNA is chopped, close to the VNTR regions, into fragments using restriction enzymes. The DNA fragments are placed on the agarose gel and a direct current is applied continuously to the gel. The DNA fragments are attracted to the anode. The shorter the fragment, the faster it moves. </span>
<span>The fragments are transferred onto an absorbent paper placed on top of the gel. The paper is heated to separate the 2 strands in each DNA molecule. Complementary probes which have a radioactive phosphorus isotope are and this pair up with the DNA strands. The paper is placed on an X-ray film and the film goes dark due to radiation emitted by the probes. Now we end up with a pattern of dark stripes on the film matching the positions reached by the fragments in the agarose gel.</span>

Where should the biosphere label appear in the systems model? Use reasoning to explain your answer.
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Explanation:

Biosphere is the portions/regions of the earth (including land, sea and atmosphere) where living organisms exist. From the picture attached, it can be seen that there are living organisms in the hydrosphere (fishes), geosphere (plants) and anthrosphere (human).  The entire system should have been labelled biosphere and not atmosphere.

NOTE: Atmosphere is an empty air space surrounding/around the earth (or other celestial body).
