Microbial Physiology

Microbial physiology is the branch of microbiology that is associated with studying the physiology of fungi, bacteria, and viruses. It is an important field of science concerning functional genomics and metabolic engineering.

Chemotaxis

The organism’s movement in a particular direction as a response to certain chemicals that are available in the environment is defined as chemotaxis. In brief, it can be defined as the occurrence of an organism’s movement in response to a certain chemical stimulus.

Question

How come c) is the answer? Wouldn't the fresh water be a hypertonic solution because it would allow water to osmose out of the celery stalk and would make it 'harder' as there is less water?

Part A
Celery stalks that are immersed in fresh water for several hours become stiff and hard. Similar stalks left in a 0.15 M salt solution become limp and soft. From this we can deduce that
the fresh water is isotonic and the salt solution is hypertonic to the cells of the celery stalks.
the fresh water is hypertonic and the salt solution is hypotonic to the cells of the celery stalks.
the fresh water is hypotonic and the salt solution is hypertonic to the cells of the celery stalks.
the fresh water and the salt solution are both hypotonic to the cells of the celery stalks.
the fresh water and the salt solution are both hypertonic to the cells of the celery stalks.

Biologists have long been interested in the effects of radiation on cells. In one experiment, researchers examined the effect of radium on mitosis of chick embryo cells growing in culture. A population of experimental cells was examined under the microscope for the number of cells in telophase (as a measure of mitosis occurring) before, during, and after exposure to radium. The results are shown in the Figure. What is the effect of radium exposure on mitosis? Source: R. G. Canti and M. Donaldson. 1926. The effect of radium on mitosis in vitro. Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, Series B, Containing Papers of a Biological Character 100:413419.
Figure 22.16 Which of the following statements is true? Gram-positive bacteria have a single cell wall anchored to the cell membrane by lipoteichoic acid. Pori ns allow entry of substances into both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria is thick, and the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria is thin. Gram-negative bacteria have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan, whereas Gram positive bacteria have a cell wall made of lipoteichoic acid.
17. The unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has two flagella assembled from tubulin proteins. If a researcher changes the pH from approximately neutral (their normal growing condition) to pH 4.5, Chlamydomonas cells spontaneously lose their flagella. After the cells are returned to neutral pH, they regrow the flagella—a process called reflagellation. Assuming that you have deflagellated Chlamydomonas cells, devise experiments to answer the following questions: 1. Do new tubulin proteins need to be made for reflagellation to occur, or is there a reservoir of proteins in the cell? 2. Is the production of new mRNA for the tubulin proteins necessary for reflagellation? 3. What is the optimal pH for reflagellation?
