_52. Why are enzymes essential to organisms?
a. They are catalysts for biochemical reactions in cells
b. They provide short term and long-term energy for the cells
c. They provide instructions for protein synthesis and determine traits
d. They create semipermeable barriers in the cell that separates the inside and outside of the cell.

Aneuron is stimulated with an electric pulse. the action potential is detected at a point 3.70 cm down the axon 0.0052 s later. when the action potential is detected 7.20 cm from the point of stimulation, the time required is 0.0063 s. what is the speed of the electric pulse along the axon? (why are two measurements needed instead of only one? )

You have been asked to lead a demonstration for the undergraduate microbiology lab course about the uses of negative staining when studying bacteria. a "negative" stain does not stain the bacterial cell itself but stains the space between cells. under magnification, the acidic (negativelycharged) nature of the stain will be repelled by the negatively charged bacterial cell wall and willleave the cell colorless in a stained background. negative stains are used primarily to reveal the presence of negatively charged bacterial capsules; therefore, they are also called capsule stains. encapsulated cells appear to have a halo surrounding them. the negative stain procedure does not require heat fixation, which limits any chances of alteration in bacterial cell shape and size. the bacterial suspension is added to a drop of stain, such as nigrosin or eosin, and drawn across the glass slide using a coverslip. nigrosin staining-not safranin staining-of klebsiella pneumoniae will allow for the visualization of the cell shape and the determination of the presence of a capsule. true/false
