While many people new to the field of microbiology like to use the terms rods and spheres, you prefer the correct terminology th

at is currently in use to describe the morphology of bacteria, which is also utilized in naming newly discovered species of bacteria. Shape designations for the cells are based on Latin or Greek description of the cellular shape and configurations.

Answer:

1. Spherical shape: <em>coccus</em>: from the Latin <em>coccinus</em> (meaning scarlet) and derived from the Greek <em>kokkos</em> (meaning berry).

2. Rod shape: <em>bacillus</em>: from the late Latin and diminutive of the Latin word <em>baculus</em> (meaning stick; walking stick).

Explanation:

Bacteria are generally classified by their shape and morphology. Numerous microbiologists use the words "rod" or "rod-shaped" and "sphere" or "sphere-shaped" to refer to the morphology of bacteria, these are actually coloquial termd. The correct names for the shapes of bacteria come from Latin and Greek, as many scientific names do, this is known as their etymology, that is, <u>their origin</u>.

The proper or scientific name of a spherical shape or the word 'sphere', is <em>coccus</em>, <u>which comes from the Latin </u><u><em>coccinus</em></u><u> (meaning scarlet) and derived from the Greek </u><u><em>kokkos</em></u><u> (meaning berry).</u>

The proper or scientific name of a 'rod' shape is <em>bacillus</em>, <u>which derives from the late Latin and diminutive of the Latin word </u><u><em>baculus</em></u><u> (meaning stick; walking stick). </u>

which of the following method is used to prevent soil erosion? tilling, contour farming, fertilizer, worms
Verizon [17]

Answer:

contour farming

Explanation:

Contour farming is the method of growing crops on sides of hills, mountains and steep slopes by planting on graduated terraces built into the slope. This method effectively reduce soil erosion and water loss and maximizes arable land area. In most of the systems the contours are low, flat ridge of earth built across the slope, with a channel for runoff water just above the ridge. In areas where soils are able to take in water and rainfall amount is relatively low, level terraces may be used to reduce soil erosion too.

The β-oxidation of odd-numbered FAs presents a small problem in that once most of the oxidation has occurred, the last component
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Maybe that your question is incomplete,  in the options following the statement listed none is correct ...

The procedures would have the following order:

1-Propionyl-CoA is converted to Methylmalonyl-CoA thanks to the enzyme Porpionyl-Carboxylase CoA which adheres to a carboxyl modifying the chemical structure (This enzyme depends on ATP, biotin and bicarbonate, to carry out the reaction).

2-Then, Methylmelanolyl-CoA is adhered to a radical, thanks to the enzyme methylmalonyl-CoA racemase, thus generating (R) -methylmalonyl-CoA as a product of the reaction.

3- And finally, (R) -methylmalonyl-CoA is converted to succinyl-CoA, an intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, by the enzyme methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, which requires cobalamin to catalyze carbon-carbon bond migration.

4-The mechanism of the methylmalonyl-CoA mutase begins with the cleavage of the bond between the 5 'of CH2-5'-deoxyadenosyl and cobalt, which is in its 3 + (III) oxidation state, which produces a 5'-radical. deoxyadenosil and cabalamin in the state of reduced oxidation Co (II)

Explanation:

Propionyl-CoA is important to know that it can come from different biological rations of the organism, such as: beta oxidation (of odd-chain fatty acids), the metabolism of isoleucine and valine and As a product of α-ketobutyric acid, which in turn it is a product of the metabolism of threonine and methionine.
