Concept explainers
To calculate:
The time required by Escherichia coli
Concept introduction:
Flagella present in a bacteria are thin, long attachments that are fixed into the cell at one end and free at the other end. In Escherichia coli, peritrichous arrangement of flagella is observed. Most of the studies regarding

- Using the proper scientific terminology, describe what happens to a red blood cell and an Elodea cell whenplaced in a hypotonic solution.arrow_forwardWhat is a totipotent cell? In each of the following types of organisms, which cells are totipotent? A. Humans B. Corn C. Yeast D. Bacteriaarrow_forwardFor a lab on diffusion and osmosis, where a egg yolk was placed in a cup water the following question asks Consider a scenario in which the size of an egg yolk remains unchanged after in water soaking for an hour. What are two possible explanations as to why this occurs? What would two reasons be for the yolk to be unchanged after a hour in water?arrow_forward
- Most of the volume of T. namibiensis cells (The bacterium Thiomargarita namibiensis—at about 0.1 to 0.3 mm in diameter—is visible to the human eye.) is occupied by a large central vacuole. Why were scientists surprised to discover a bacterial cell containing a vacuole?arrow_forwardDescribe each of the following: (1) macule; (2) vesicle; and(3) pustule.arrow_forwardCompare and contrast cytokinesis in animal cells with cytokinesis in plant cells.arrow_forward
- I asked earlier a question, and I got this answer. Now, my question is: how do you get the 2.5cm= 100um? I have taken a picture of the paramecium in question, with the scale bar (100um), and a ruler showing it’s measurement is around 2.5cm. Is that how we got the 2.5?arrow_forwardWhich of the four alcohols (Propanol, Ethanol, Butanol and Methanol) was the most effective in solubilizing the plasma membrane of beet cells? why?arrow_forwardYou’ve made a 25 mM stock of colchicine (a tubulin inhibitor; dissolved in distilled water), which you’d like to use to study the effect of tubulin on phagocytosis in T.pyriformis. Based on published research articles that you’ve read, you’d like to preincubate T. pyriformis with colchicine at a final, effective concentration of 75 µM. Assuming you need 40 µL of the cell+colchicine mixture for your experiment, please explain how you can use your 25 mM solution of colchicine, T. pyriformis cells, and distilled water to create your cell+colchicine mixture.arrow_forward
