In solution, buffers are able to alternate between weak acid and conjugate base to maintain hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion equilibrium. Explain why acids and alkaline products are formed by bacteria growing on growth media. Explain why buffers are added to growth media to maintain hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion equilibrium.

With the description of the different cell walls, membranes, and associated proteins set in the students' minds, you now need to introduce them to the idea that the cell wall can also act as a foundation to build things upon. bacterial appendages require a strong foundation that will offer the support needed to move and function in a dynamic world. for example, flagella are long, whiplike protein structures that are used by many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria for locomotion. in order to function effectively, a flagellum must be firmly anchored to the cell wall. how will you be able to get across the idea that the peptidoglycan cell wall is strong enough to support such a mechanism? with a protein rod that passes through the cell wall and protein rings used to anchor it in the membranes, these basal bodies are the rudimentary biological motors that use atp power to spin the hook and the flagella attached to it. bacterial flagella have a biological motor that spins within the cell wall and is powered by atp. this allows the flagella to spin in a whiplike motion to propel the bacterium.

Suppose you use three different scale to weigh a bag of oranges. one scale says the nag weighs 2.1 lb, and third says it weighs 2.1 lb. the actual weight of the bag of oranges is 2.153 lb. which of the following best decribes these results?
