What is the composition of the cell wall of a plant cell? What is turgidity in a plant cell? How many membranes surround a chloroplast from a plant cell? Which type of cell, if any, does not have a plasma membrane? What are all the organelles in a plant cell?
What type of cell is enterocytes? Enterocytes are themajor villus epithelial cell type. They are highly specialized tall and columnar cells, with an oval nucleus located basally (Fig. 3). Is protein losing enteropathy fatal? PLE stands for Protein-Losing Enteropathy. Rather than a specific disea...
When a bacterium is infected by a virus, it uses a Cas nuclease to snip off a piece of viral DNA known as a protospacer. This fragment is stored in the bacterial genome with fragments from other viruses that have previously infected the cell - an immune memory. These viral spacer ...
In addition to your needs for food, water, and oxygen, you are both made of cells. Cells are small units of living material that make up all living things. You have billions of cells in your body, while a single bacterium is made up of one cell. Cell biology is the field of ...
[#highlight3]The light microscope cannot resolve detail finer than 0.2 micrometers, about the size of the smallest bacterium; consequently, no matter how many times its image of such a bacterium is magnified, the light microscope cannot show the details of the cell’s internal structure.[/...
Cell 141, 1241–1252 (2010). This work sheds light on a mechanism by which diet shapes the microbiota and proposes that genetic and structural analyses of Bacteroides species can infer their metabolic capacity and predict competitiveness in the presence of specific dietary polysaccharides. Article ...
The filament is a threadlike part extending outside the cell wall. It is made up of flagellin protein. The hook is a short curved structure that joins filament with the basal body. It produces repulsion like the propeller during the revolving of flagella. ...
An organism that diminishes the reproductive fitness of another organism or benefits from another organism without reciprocity. Pathogen In medicine, any organism that causes disease. In biological terms, a pathogen is a microorganism that has the inherent capacity to cross anatomical barriers and resist...
Transformation is the most common process of horizontal gene transfer and occurs when a bacterium absorbs short DNA fragments from the environment through its cell membrane. (The DNA fragments are released into the environment by other bacteria.) To undergo transformation, a bacterium must be in a...
