a.

Summary Introduction

To discuss:

The type of microbes causing an infection if the patient’s samples revealed the presence of cells containing a cell wall.

Concept introduction:

The cell wall is an outer structural component of a cell present in species of bacteria, archaebacteria, and fungi. The cell wall of gram-positive bacteria is composed of a layer of peptidoglycan with cross-linking by amino-acids. It is composed of repeating layers of N-acetyl glucosamine and N-acetyl muramic acid. Teichoic acid is present in the outer layer of bacteria. Lipopolysaccharides are present in the outer layer of gram-negative bacteria. Pseudomurein is present in the cell wall of archaebacteria. Fungi cell wall is composed of polysaccharide chitin and cellulose.

b.

Summary Introduction

To explain:

Change in hypothesis regarding the microbe present causing patient infection showing the presence of ribosomes (the 80S) and nucleus.

Concept introduction:

Hypothesis is an explanation for a phenomenon based on observation. It needs to be tested experimentally to be included under a scientific hypothesis. It includes the validation of experimental results and values by performing experiments again.

c.

Summary Introduction

To explain:

The final biochemical analysis of a microbe-based on evidence that cell wall is composed of chitin.

Concept introduction:

Fungi are small unicellular organisms which are classified into three types like molds, yeasts, and mushrooms. They produce toxins which can cause illness. Fungal spores are present in the air and enter the respiratory system of humans through the nasal tract.

If you transplant trunk neural crest into the cranial neural crest region of a developing embryo, will you see the donor tissue form cartilage? Does the neural crest only give rise to two cells in the developing embryo, and is essential for lamprey to develop their jaw structure? Does a multipotent neural crest cell that is receiving Wnt signals become a Chromaffin cell?
