In 2000, Bob Harmon discovered the best-preserved Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ever found. The fossilized dinosaur was sticking ou

t of the wall of a canyon in Montana. Many scientists were eager to study the fossils.
Dr. Mary Schweitzer got one of the leg bones to analyze. Dr. Schweitzer’s assistant dissolved the bones in acid and discovered that some soft tissue had survived even after 68 million years. The discovery was a shock to the scientific community. No one had ever found such old tissues.


Next, Dr. Schweitzer looked for evidence of proteins in the T. rex tissues. She matched several samples from the fossil to parts of the modern protein collagen. Dr. Schweitzer’s discovery was so revolutionary that very few scientists believed her results. She repeated the experiment several times with great care. Each time she got the same results. In 2017, the scientific community finally accepted that proteins really could survive intact for 68 million years.


Considering the body’s organization from atoms to organ systems, in which level of organization are proteins like collagen? Describe how this level of organization fits into the organization of the whole body.

(Fill in the blank)
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Capsule

Explanation:

In many bacterial species, an extracellular layer composed of a polysaccharide especially a monosaccharide is produced around the cell wall of the bacteria. This extracellular layer is known as the slime layer or the capsule.

The capsule in bacteria serves many purposes like it protects the bacteria from the destruction by the white blood cell in the host, it enables the bacteria to adhere to the substrates and protect it.

In the plant group called the bryophytes also a capsule structure is present which grows in the sporophytic phase and encloses the spores, therefore, the capsule is considered the sporangium of the bryophytes.

Thus, the capsule is correct.
