Cell biologist, Dr. Martine Dinen, is observing an organism's cell using a transmitting electron microscope. She notices that wi
thin the cellular membrane, strands of DNA are seen throughout the cytoplasm. Is this cell from a Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic organism? Is it from an Autotrophic or Heterotrophic organism? Justify your answer.
Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus due to which the DNA are seen throughout the cytoplasm.
Eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus. So for eukaryotes, the DNA will be present packed inside the nucleus instead of being dispersed in the cytoplasm.
Prokaryotes can either be autotrophic or heterotrophic depending on their mode of nutrition. Autotrophic prokaryotes can make organic molecules for a carbon dioxide source. On the other hand, heterotrophic prokaryotes can take carbon from organic compounds. Hence, the organism can be autotrophic or heterotrophic.
I'm not sure, but I'd say that the best answer choice would be B because most of the plants would grow, and none would die off. The smaller plants would grow, and would grow in, and most if not all of the larger would just continue to grow, if they aren't already full grown.
