Cell membranes serve as barriers and gatekeepers. They are semi-permeable, which means that some molecules can diffuse across the lipid bilayer but others cannot.
A. True. Meiosis and mitosis are the same, right?
Noctiluca scintillans, commonly known as the sea tinkle and also published as Noctiluca miliaris, is a free-living, nonparasitic, marine-dwelling species of dinoflagellate that exhibits bioluminescence when disturbed (popularly known as mareel). Its bioluminescence is produced throughout the cytoplasm of this single-celled protist, by a luciferin-luciferase reaction in thousands of spherically shaped organelles, called scintillons. Nonluminescent populations within the genus Noctiluca lack these scintillons.
Answer: D. Organisms that reproduce asexually create a large amount of offspring in a short period of time in order to maintain their population.
Explanation:
When an organism is able to reproduce asexually as opposed to sexually, it means that they do not require a mate to make offspring. Offspring of such organisms will therefore receive all their genes from one source.
Such organisms are able to reproduce very fast when they are presented with adequate conditions especially because they do not need another organism to do so. They will neither have to waste much energy nor have to go through the whole sexual process so they will be able to produce lots of offspring.
