A research laboratory is investigating environmental factors that would inhibit the growth of Archaea. One question they have is if adding the antibiotic penicillin would be effective in controlling their growth. What do you think the outcome would be if they tried this?

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling
  1. The penicillin wouldn't affect the Archaea because it prevents crosslinking of peptidoglycan-Archaea don't have this compound in their cell walls.

  2. The penicillin will inhibit cell wall formation in the Archaea, killing them.

  3. The penicillin will slow down the growth of the Archaea by damaging the cell wall, but they will still be able to grow somewhat.

  4. The penicillin will enhance the growth of the Archaea by providing a rich nutrient source.

Companion cells transport of photosynthetic products from producing cells in mature leaves to the sieve elements in the minor veins of the leaf. There are at least three different types of companion cells in the minor veins of mature, exporting leaves, All three cell types have dense cytoplasm and abundant mitochondria;

companion cells in minor veins of mature leaves. All three cell types have dense cytoplasm and abundant mitochondria, there are three types companion cells  present in column A while its characteristics given in column B;

             COLUMN A                                                               COLUMN B

A) Ordinary companion cells             i) appear well suited for taking up solutes via cytoplasmic connections numerous plasmodesmata connecting them to bundle sheath cells. Its having numerous small vacuoles, as well as poorly developed thylakoids.

 

B) Transfer cells                                 ii) have chloroplasts with well-developed thylakoids     and a cell wall with a smooth inner surface. The number of plasmodesmata connecting ordinary companion cells to surrounding cells.

 C) Intermediary cells                          iii) the development of fingerlike wall in growths, particularly on the cell Walls. These wall ingrowths greatly increase the surface area of the transfer cell’s  plasma membrane, few plasmodesmata connect this type of companion cell to any of the surrounding cells except its own sieve element.
