Transformation is a process in which bacteria take up new DNA released by dead cells and integrate it into their own genomes (se

e Chapter 9). In Streptococcus pneumoniae (which causes many cases of pneumonia, inner-ear infections, and meningitis), the ability to carry out transformation requires from 105 to 124 genes, collectively termed the com regulon. The com regulon is activated in response to a protein called competence-stimulating peptide (CSP), which is produced by the bacteria and exported into the surrounding medium. When enough CSP accumulates, it attaches to a receptor on the bacterial cell membrane, which then activates a regulator protein that stimulates the transcription of genes within the com regulon and sets in motion a series of reactions that ultimately result in transformation. Does the com regulon in S. pneumoniae exhibit positive or negative control

Answer:

Positive (inducible)

Explanation:

Increased levels of CSP induce the receptor to stimulate transcriptional activator functions, which allow gene expression to occur similar to what happens in positive inducible.

When an atom that has no change loses two electrons, it becomes a ?
densk [106]

Question: When an atom that has no charge loses two electrons, it becomes a:

A: positive ion.

B: negative ion.

C: positive isotope.

D: negative isotope.

Answer:

When an atom that has no change loses two electrons, it becomes "positive ion".

Explanation:

It is known that electrons hold a negative charge. So, when the negative charge that is electrons are taken out an atom then the number of electrons become less in number as compared to the number of protons. Hence, the atom attains a positive charge.An isotope is formed when an atom shows same number of protons and different number of neutrons. So, when an atom loses 2 electrons there will be no change in the number of neutrons. Therefore, an isotope will not form.Thus, it is concluded that when an atom with no charge loses two electrons, it becomes a positive ion.
