Actually the guy below is "off" The cell would die if there is damage to the cell wall but, Would also die if damage occured to plasma membrane, proteins, and nucleic acid .
Remember some Eukaryotes do not have cell walls, so It depends on if you are talking about eukaryotes or prokaryotes as well.
ACTUALLY, to edit the answer below, the answer to the question is D - all of the above. The plasma membrane is made of proteins and if damaged will damage the plasma membrane in turn causing the the cell to rupture (lysis) and die. Nucleic acids for the same reason stated below.
so the correct answer is NOT C it is D!
"Bacterial death will result from damage to which of the following structures?"
a. plasma membrane
b. proteins
c. nucleic acids
d. All of the above
the correct answer is C. nucleic acids. heres a quote directly from the book..."The nucleic acids DNA and RNA are the carriers of the cell's genetic information. Damage to these nucleic acids by heat, radiation or chemicals is frequently lethal to the cell; the cell can no longer replicate, nor can it carry out normal metabolic functions such as the synthesis of enzymes." your welcome.
What else can I help you with?
A certain bacterial colony originated from the division of a single bacterial cell Each cell in this colony will most likely?
synthesize the same proteins and enzymes
What does a single bacterial cell divide into during binary fission?
Binary fission produces two identical bacterial cells.
Bacterial cells reproduce asexually by what?
Binary Fission :)
A bacterial cell moving toward light would be an example of?
positive phototaxis.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a cell membrame?
they protect the cell from damage
What is the relationship between uv exposure time and bacterial death?
Ultraviolet light can damage DNA molecules. If a cell's DNA repair mechanisms can't keep up with the damage, mutations are the result. As harmful mutations accumulate, the cell eventually dies. How much ultraviolet light is too much for a bacterial cell?
How does sodium hydroxide effectively kill bacteria?
Sodium hydroxide kills bacteria by disrupting their cell membranes and proteins, leading to cell death. This strong base can penetrate the bacterial cell wall, causing damage and ultimately destroying the bacteria.
Is antibiotics effect on bacterial cell wall?
=1.Penicillin ==2.Cephalosporin ==3.Cycloserine ==4.Bacitracin ==5.Vancomycin=
Which Antibiotics disrupts cell membrane in bacteria?
Polymyxins are antibiotics that disrupt the cell membrane in bacteria. They work by binding to the bacterial cell membrane, causing damage and destabilization which leads to cell death.
Does The p53 gene codes for a protein that triggers uncontrolled cell division?
No, when it detects a mutation or damage to the DNA of a cell it codes for a protein that causes apoptosis to occur which is the controlled death of a cell. so it prevents uncontrolled cell division.
What is cell injury and cell death?
Cell injury refers to any damage or disruption to a cell's structure or function caused by various insults. Cell death is the irreversible cessation of cellular activities and functions, leading to the demise of the cell. Cell death can occur through different mechanisms, including apoptosis and necrosis.
4 Under what conditions might a death phase occur?
A death phase occurs in the stationary phase of bacterial growth when resources become depleted and waste products accumulate, leading to decreased cell growth and eventually cell death. This phase is a natural part of the bacterial life cycle and is influenced by factors such as nutrient availability, pH levels, and environmental conditions.
The expulsion of lysosome enzymes into cell cytoplasm is known as what?
The expulsion of lysosome enzymes into the cell cytoplasm is known as lysosome leakage. This can occur due to lysosome damage, leading to release of enzymes that can potentially damage other cellular components and even trigger cell death pathways.
What will happen if a bacterial cell is placed in distilled water with lysozyme?
The bacterial cell will undergo osmotic lysis due to the hypotonic environment created by the distilled water, causing water to enter the cell and potentially burst it. The presence of lysozyme will further damage the bacterial cell by breaking down its cell wall, making it more susceptible to lysis.
What is the chemical found in tears and saliva that hydrolyzes the peptidoglycan in the certain bacterial cell walls?
The chemical is called lysozyme. It is an enzyme that targets the peptidoglycan layer in bacterial cell walls, causing it to hydrolyze and break down. This process weakens the cell wall, leading to bacterial cell lysis and death.
How do the microbes such as bacteria die?
DNA replication was stoped due to nutrition depletion, finally leads to cell death. toxic subtances affect the normal functions of bacterial cell which leads to cell death
How do penicillen move?
Penicillin works by interfering with the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, weakening and ultimately causing the bacteria to burst. This disrupts the bacterial cell's ability to maintain its structure and ultimately leads to its death.
