Because bacterial lps is both hydrophilic and hydrophobic, a specialized transporting system, is required for membrane transport and insertion. select one: a. lpt b. cytidine diphosphate carrier protein c. tol d. acyl-carrier protein

The correct answer is a. Lpt.

LPS is lipopolysaccharide located in the outer membrane (OM) of the unique lipid bilayer ofGram-negative bacteria. Gram-negative bacteria containins Lpt or the lipopolysaccharide transport systems which is responsible for transporting LPS. It consists of seven known LPS transport proteins.

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.
