Acid-fast rods present in sputum typically indicates a mycobacterial infection. Mycobacteria is a type of germ, and it can manifest in different diseases, the most common is Tuberculosis. Acid-fast is namely due to the bacteria's stain retention to the staining procedure after an acid wash.

What term is used to describe bacterial cells that can naturally take up dna from their environment?
Maru [420]
<h2>The correct answer is: Competent cells</h2>

Explanation:

  • Bacterial cells have the capability of incorporating foreign naked DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid fragments from the environment or the exterior of the cell to the interior of the cell. This process is known as Transformation.
  • The bacterial cells which are able to undergo transformation are called Competent bacterial cells.
  • Some of the bacterial cells are naturally competent like<em> Bacillus subtilis, Streptocossus pneumoniae</em> while others  like <em>Escherishia coli </em>need to be chemically treated to make them artificially competent.
  • In natural competence, the foreign DNA from the cell exterior is incorporated into the cell interior through specific protein complexes present in the plasma membrane of the bacterial cells.
  • In artificial competence, the negative charge on foreign DNA is masked by positively charged calcium ions (so that it is not repelled by the negative charge of the lipid bilayer of the bacterial cell plasma membrane) and then small pores are created in the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane of the bacterial cells by giving a heat shock to the cells. This results in the uptake of the DNA by the bacterial cells.

What is the Mechanical energy when
Scilla [17]

Answer:

ME = 20 * m, where m is the mass of the pendulum

Explanation:

As we know that mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy.

Since the Pendulum at its highest point has zero velocity, its kinetic energy at this point is equal to zero.

Thus, here in this mechanical energy will be equal to the potential energy only.

Potential energy is equal to the product of gravity constant, mass of the body and the height of the pendulum

Thus,

ME = PE\\

PE = m * g* h\\PE = 10 * 2* m\\

PE= 20m

Hence,

ME = 20 * m
