Whаt is the mоst likely diаgnоsis оf this pаtient with a painful testicle and elevated AFP?
Dr. Lee, а micrоbiоlоgist, is studying а mysterious microorgаnism found in a local freshwater pond. Under the microscope, she notices that the cells have no nucleus, but they do have ribosomes. She also observes that the cells can move using small, whip-like structures and can produce energy both in the presence and absence of oxygen. Dr. Lee wants to determine what type of microorganism she is observing and how it survives in different conditions. She decides to expose the microbe to different environments: A solution with antibiotics that target peptidoglycan synthesis. A medium with no oxygen. A high-salt environment. By observing how the cells respond, she hopes to understand the organism's cell structure, metabolic capabilities, and environmental adaptations. 1. Based on Dr. Lee’s observations, what type of microorganism is she most likely studying? [color1] 2. What structure allows this microbe to move in its environment? [color2] 3. Which of the following cellular components is not present in this microorganism? [color3] 4. If the microbe is exposed to antibiotics that inhibit peptidoglycan synthesis, what is the expected effect? [color4] 5. Dr. Lee places the microbe in a solution with a higher solute concentration than inside the cell. What is the expected effect on the cell? [color5]
