Question

the same experiment is performed on the bacterium escherichia coli. the scientist gives the experimental group of e. coli cells compound x and blockem, and gives only compound x to the control group. the scientist notes that both groups of e. coli cells make the protein. the scientist then creates a second control group of e. coli cells that receives neither compound x nor blockem, and a third control group that receives only blockem. neither the second nor third control group produces the protein. which of the following best explains the experimental results observed? bacteria use both compound x and blockem as stimulants to make the protein. unlike s. cerevisiae, e. coli makes the protein whether or not compound x is present. bacterial ribosomes do not use rna to make proteins. bacteria do not contain a nuclear membrane that separates their dna from the cytoplasm.

Explanation:

The experimental group with compound X and Blockem and control group with only compound X made protein. Others didn't. So E. coli makes protein when compound X is present.

Answer:

B. Unlike S. cerevisiae, E. coli makes the protein whether or not compound X is present.
