Most bacteria live in a solution that is hypotonic relative to the cytoplasm of the bacteria. This means that the bacterial cell is constantly taking in water. The cell wall of a bacterium is a peptidoglycan polymer that is tightly cross-linked. This would therefore function to:_________-.
A. regulate the flow of most molecules into and out of the bacterial cell.
B. provide a rigid wall that prevents the cell from swelling.
C. provide a rigid wall that prevents the cell from shrinking.
D. confirm a close relationship to plant cells that have a similar structure and live in hypotonic solutions.
E. make all bacteria fairly uniform in metabolic chemistry.
Answer:
B. provide a rigid wall that prevents the cell from swelling.
Explanation:
When organisms are present in hypotonic surroundings, their cells that are in contact with the surroundings tend to gain water. Bacteria present in hypotonic solution would gain water as their cells are hypertonic than the surroundings. The entry of water would increase the volume of cytoplasm and could lead to the bursting of the cell. However, the presence of a cell wall made up of cross-linked peptidoglycan prevents the swelling of the bacterial cell and allow them to survive in hypotonic surroundings.
Explanation:
75 J
Energy is neither related nor destroyed- it's simply converted to different forms. Forces are vectors with both mass and acceleration; they are interactions that have the ability to change an object's motion. As objects move, their potential energy (apprx 100 J) is converted to kinetic energy. However, friction a resistive force, which is formed from the conversion of an object's kinetic energy into heat energy, as two surfaces move along each other.
With the reduction of friction, the energy output should increase, as less energy is lost as heat. Thus, the output should be 75 J.

The breaking down of
sugars is called glycolysis. The prefix glyco- means sugar, and the suffix
-lysis means breaking down. It's part of a three-step process in respiration,
the other two is The Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Phosphorylation. In the
process of glycolysis, 2 ATP and 2 NADH are produced.
