Answer:

<em><u>D. The first flowering plants were introduced toward the end of the Mesozoic era.</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

Explanation:

Following the Paleozoic Era, the Mesozoic Era or <em>Age of Conifers</em> began approximately 250 million years ago. This major geological era brought about the ancestors of many of the plant and animal groups still in existence today.

The Mesozoic era is marked by 3 divisions:

  1. the Triassic Period,
  2. the Jurassic Period,
  3. and the Cretaceous Period.

Animals and plants slowly recovered  after the mass extinction in the Permian-Triassic extinction that led to the eradication of most aquatic marine species. They evolved to exploit varying niches in their environment, leading to a boom in terrestrial animals. Over time the planet's increasingly warm climate, abundant in atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide, contributed to the growth of diverse megaflora, that rapidly dominated the planet's terrestrial biosphere.

By the end of the <em>Mesozoic Era</em>, in the Cretaceous period, flowering plants (angiosperms) largely replaced the dominant seed ferns of the <em>Triassic</em>, and the conifers, cycads and gymnosperms of the <em>Jurassic</em>.

<em>Varied dispersal  mechanisms in angiosperms co-evolved with the evolution of certain types of fauna. Plants used animal life, including herbivorous reptiles and early mammal-like species to disperse large seeds.</em>

Gnom [1K]

  When  sodium chloride  is formed  from a positively charged sodium atom and a  negatively  charged  chlorine  atom,  the charge  on the salt becomes  neutral   is true

 Explanation

Sodium  ion ( positively  charged)  combine with chloride  ion ( negatively charged)  to  sodium chloride which  is neural  according  to equation below.

Na⁺   +  Cl⁻    →  NaCl  (<em>neutral</em>)

Equal  number  of positive  and negative  charges  add up to make neutral  Nacl therefore the statement above is true.

IrinaVladis [17]

A type of glycocalyx called the slime layer is loosely attached to the bacterial cell and protects it from dehydration and loss of nutrients .

<h3>What is glycocalyx ?</h3>

The glycocalyx is a thick outer covering of the plasma membrane .it is of stands of sugars and proteins bound together ,the result is a thick ,sticky layer that helps cells stay put in environments with lots of physical stress .it is a glycoprotein and glycolipid covering that surrounds the cell membranes of bacteria ,epithelial cells and other cells .

Glycocalyx in humans : it is important to both vascular function and the digestive system . your blood vessels actually tiny tubes made of cells .the cells on the very inside of the tube are called endothelial cells and have to withstand the stress of blood flowing over them constantly. endothelial cells produce a glycocalyx which helps leukocytes and thrombocytes stick to blood vessel walls.it is the protective layer of the endothelial cells found in the lumen side of the vessels .

Glycocalyx in bacteria : most of the bacteria produce glycocalyx but some are expert .these expert bacteria make a very thick glycocalyx that helps them to adhere to each other and surfaces in extreme environments .bacteria use the glycocalyx to make thick films of bacteria in nature as well ,called a biofilm .

You INCORRECTLY perform an acid-fast stain on a smear from a mixed culture of Mycobacterium smegmatis (acid-fast) cells and Stap
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

In acid-fast staining, carbon fuchsin is used as a primary stain which dissolves the mycolic acid present in the cell wall of <em>Mycobacterium smegmatis </em>and penetrates through it which results in staining <em>Mycobacterium</em> red.

Staphylococcus aureus cell wall does not contain mycolic acid so carbon fuchsin does not penetrate its cell wall, therefore, it becomes colorless after destaining with acid alcohol.

After destaining step methylene blue is added to stain non-acid-fast bacteria blue. So if I mistakenly forgot to use methylene blue during the procedure <em>Mycobacterium smegmatis</em> will appear red due to carbon fuchsin present in their cell wall and S<em>taphylococcus aureus</em> will appear colorless because it is destained.
