Viruses are not living organisms, bacteria are. Viruses only grow and reproduce inside of the host cells they infect. When found outside of these living cells, viruses are dormant. Their “life” therefore requires the hijacking of the biochemi...
across this layer requires slow diffusion). Filaments or chains of bacterial cells can reach past this boundary layer, to access nutrients and oxygen. This is one advantage of forming chains of cells. Many cyanobacteria form filaments that
Viruses aren't alive; they can only grow and reproduce inside of the host cells they infect. Bacteria are living organisms. Both viruses and bacteria can get you very sick, but most bacteria are harmless and many are helpful.
3. What do we know about the system from paragraph 3? A.It has been applied successfully nationwide. B.It requires a lot of electricity to operate. C.It works effectively in reducing forest fires. D.It mainly depends on satellites to collect data. ...
One reason for this may be that the installation of new plants and processes requires high costs. In addition, important process parameters can affect the immobilized cell fermentation behavior and the process stability significantly [149]. The physiochemical properties of the support for immobilization...
the human mouth, Saccharibacteria requires the company of Actinobacteria, which serve as their hosts. To better understand the mechanisms employed by Saccharibacteria to relate with their hosts, the researchers used genetic manipulation to identify all the genes essential for a Saccharibacterium to grow...
These bioluminescent bacteria are stored in a seawater filled tube,giving the bacteria room to float around and light up.The light provided by the bacteria is part of their natural metabolism,so producing the light requires no energy other than that which is needed to feed the ...
In the field of genetics, a carrier is an individual who has a disease-causing gene that does not happen to cause disease in the individual. For example, individuals with one sickle cell gene are typically not affected by sickle cell disease, which usually requires homozygosity (i.e., both...
Since the formation of acetyl-coA requires energy that is provided by pyruvate decarboxylation, the former pathway may be advantageous if prey-derived (aceto)acetyl-coA is available. It is noteworthy that almost all free-living non-predators, that may be potential prey, but not The ISME Journal...
According to the professor, what is the greatest advantage of hydroponics? A.The plants are less likely to develop soil-borne diseases. B.The cultivation requires much less labor than traditional methods. C.The water can be recycled in a hydroponic environment. D.Less space is needed to produc...
