- explain:The process by which alteration in the genetic makeup of live type IIR bacteria was performed by heat killed type IIIS bacteria.arrow_forwardThere are several applications of microorganisms in industries. One of them is in medical and pharmaceuticals. Name a suitable microorganism and demonstrate its application in producing synthetic human insulin.arrow_forwardPenicillin is an antibiotic. It kills bacteria by preventing the formation of the peptidoglycan layer of the bacterial cell wall. Penicillin does so by inhibiting the enzyme Transpeptidase, which is required for peptidoglycan layer formation. What type of inhibitor is Penicillin? Explain.arrow_forward

- Anemia is characterized by low hemoglobin levels or a reduced number of red blood cells (both of which transport oxygen to cells). A common symptom of anemia is tiredness. Please do not copy answers from another website/source. a) Briefly explain what the consequences are of anemia on cellular energy production. b) Suggest at least one other cellular effect of anemia and a brief explanation of this effect.arrow_forwardBoth ethanol and trimethyldodecylammonium chloride are active ingredients in cleaning products used to disinfect. Both will inactivate coronaviruses by a similar mechanism of action. Describe that mechanism of action and why both chemicals are able to cause it. (Reminder: coronaviruses are "lipid envelope" viruses.) Consider the physical properties of these compounds to answer the following question: why might you choose to use a cleaning product with one of these active ingredients over the other?arrow_forwardProteolytic enzymes are produced in an inactive form. What, if any, benefit might that have?arrow_forward
