Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a bacterial pathogen that can cause skin infections as well as pneumonia. Mtb is often phagocytosed by immune cells called macrophages that normally destroy bacterial pathogens, but Mtb is somehow able to prevent the maturation of phagosomes into phagolysosomes, and to live and replicate inside these organelles. Which of the following differences would you expect contribute to the survival of a bacterium within an Mtb-containing phagosome, compared to a phagolysosome? (select two answers)

Clara wrote the following hypothesis for an experiment about acidophilic bacteria. bacteria cells will stop dividing in a basic (alkaline) environment because of the high ph. which statement is the best way to restate the hypothesis so that it is more specific? growing acidophilic bacteria in some environments will cause the cells to stop dividing because of ph. if the ph of their environment is changed, acidophilic bacterial cell division will be affected. if the environment of acidophilic bacterial cells becomes alkaline, the bacteria will stop dividing. the more alkaline an environment, the less cell division will occur in bacteria.
