The medical sign(s) or condition(s) readily apparent in THIS diagram is/are _______. a. hemolytic anemia or medical condition b. acute hepatic disease, cellular intrustion or medical condition c. dysentary or dysentary-like medical condition
d. legionairres' disease e. Both A and B - โโa. hemolytic anemia or medical condition A hypothetical bacterium swims among human intestinal contents until it finds a suitable location on the intestinal lining. It adheres to the intestinal lining using a feature that also protects it form phagocytes, bacteriophages and dehydration. Fecal matter form a human in whose intestine this bacterium lives can spread the bacterium, even after being mixed with water and boiled. the bacterium is not susceptible to the penicillin family of antibiotics. It contains no plasmids and relatively little peptidoglycan. Adherence to the intestinal lining by this bacterium is due to its possession of ____. a. fimbriae b. a capsule c. pili d. flagellum e. tansulopsule - โโb. a capsule Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic that targets prokaryotic (70S) ribosomes, but not eukaryotic (80S) ribosomes. Which of these questions stems from this observation, plus an understanding of eukaryotic origins? a. if chloramphenicol inhibits prokaryotic ribosomes, should it not also inhibit mitochondrial ribosomes? b. can chlormaphenicol also be used to control human diseases that are caused by archaeans? c. why aren't prokaryotic ribosomes identical to eukaryotic ribosomes? d. can chloramphenicol pass through thecapsules possessed by many cyanobacteria? e. why can't chloramphenicol be used to kill Plasmodium vivax as well - โโa. if chloramphenicol inhibits prokaryotic ribosomes, should it not also inhibit mitochondrial ribosomes? The figure below depicts changes to the amount of DNA present in a recipient cell that is engaged in conjugation with an Hfr cell. Hfr cell DNA begins entering the recipient cell at Time A. Assume that reciprocal crossing over occurs (in other words, a fragment of the recipient's chromosome is exchanged for a homologous fragment from the Hfr cell's DNA). What is occurring at Time C that is decreasing the DNA content?
Which of the following traits do archaeans and bacteria share? a. lack of a nuclear envelope and presence of plasma membrane b. composition of the cell wall c. composition of the cell wall and lack of a nuclear envelope d. presence of plasma membrane and composition of the cell wall e. none of the above are true - โโa. lack of a nuclear envelope and presence of plasma membrane The termite gut protist Mixotricha paradoxa has at least two kinds of bacteria attached to its outer surface. ONe kind is a spirochete that propels its host through the termite gut. A second type of bacteria synthesizes adenosine triphosphate (ATP), some of which is used by the spirochetes. The locomotion provided by the spirochetes introduces the ATP-producing bacteria to new food sources. Which term(s) is (are) applicable to the relationship betweeen the two kinds of bacteria?
