For each of the following statements, indicate whether it is true of all, some, or none of the various kinds of peroxisomes. Please first answer the question, then provide an explanation. I would appreciate it if you could type the answer and handwriting is often difficult to read.

5. Contains peroxide-generating chemical reactions.
a. It is true of all, because it is general property of peroxisomes.
b. It is true of glyoxysomes and some animal peroxisomes, because only they contain peroxide-generating chemical reactions.
c. It is true of none of the peroxisome kinds.

6. Contains the genes coding for luciferase.
a. It is true of all because all peroxisomes contain the genes coding for luciferase.
b. It is true of glyoxysomes and some animal peroxisomes, because only they contain the genes coding for luciferase.
c. It is true of none of the kinds, because fireflies and related bioluminescent organisms have luciferase protein present in their peroxisomes but DNA is not found in this organelle.

7. Contains urate oxidase.
a. It is true of all because all peroxisomes contain urate oxidase.
b. It is true of many animal peroxisomes and in some plant peroxisomes.
c. It is true of none of the peroxisome kinds.

8. Is a source of dolichol.
a. It is true of all because all peroxisomes are a source of as much as 50% of the dolichol found in cells.
b. It is true of glyoxysomes and some animal peroxisomes, because only they are source of dolichol.
c. It is true of none of the peroxisome kinds.

9. Is surrounded by a lipid bilayer.
a. It is true of all, because it is general property of peroxisomes.
b. It is true of glyoxysomes and some animal peroxisomes, because only they are surrounded by a lipid bilayer.
c. It is true of none of the peroxisome kinds.

What can cause a phenol red indicator of carbohydrate fermentation to give a false positive with gas?

I heavily incubated my organism in the test tube and it is producing a huge gas bubble in the Durham tube and a clear yellow (acid) color. I incubated my tube at my organism's optimism growth conditions (oxygen and temperature wise) for 48 hrs exactly.. i was supposed to get a red no gas result ( -) what might have gone wrong?

17) Provide at least three ways the Central Dogma (aka “gene expression”) is different in eukaryotes versus prokaryotes and items that are conserved in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes.

18) Describe, in detail, the two ways environmental signals promote a cellular response. Include how a cell receives a signal, how it is subsequently processed, and what cellular process is targeted in order to generate the “cellular response”) Draw and/or identify the status of the lac operon in a given set of environmental conditions and/or cell mutations.

how information from DNA results in the synthesis of a protein. Explain how information in the environment ultimately results in changes to gene expression.

Question 10 (5 pts.):​ Why do you think cholera would choose to colonize the intestines of its host, as opposed to other parts of the body? (Try to think about what the bacteria might gain from living in the intestines.)

Question 11 (5 pts.):​ Why do you think it is important for ​V. cholerae​ to attach themselves firmly to the epithelial cells of the intestines, as shown in the picture above?

Question 12 (5 pts.):​ Suggest a reason why ​V. cholerae​ would benefit by causing their hosts to have excessive, watery diarrhea? How could this help the bacteria in their cycle of infection?
