Answer:

Cell

Explanation:

Cell is the basic structural and functional unit of any body. According the the level of organism, these cells come together to form tissues, tissues combine to form organs, organs make organ systems and ultimately a functional body is formed. Without cells an organism would cease to exist. Cells are composed of cell membrane, cytoplasm , nucleus and other cell organelles which help them to coordinate the activities of the organism. According to the organism a cell type could vary. For example plant cells have cell wall while animal cells do not have it.

True or false: coccidioides immitis is a member of domain bacteria.
Ksivusya [100]

False

Coccidioides immitis is not a member of domain bacteria.

Coccidioides immitis is a dimorphic fungus that causes the fungal disease; coccidioidomycosis. Coccidioides immitis is mainly found in soils and it exists in two different forms (saprophytic and parasitic). When Coccidioides immitis enter a host, their spores separates from the hyphae and develop into round structures (spherules) that divides to form endospores which causes infection within the host.

What process occurs in prokaryotes but not in eukaryotes?
Naddika [18.5K]

Explanation:

In the given question, the options are not provided in the question and neither they are found anywhere therefore based on the previous knowledge this can be answered.

Since both the prokaryotes and eukaryotes are living therefore they perform the metabolism or chemical reactions in the form of process.

Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes perform almost similar process like the cellular respiration, photosynthesis by green colored organisms, the Central dogma related process like the replication, transcription and translation.

The central dogma related processes differ in these process only in terms of the site they are performed and a few modifications which are characteristics of the eukaryotic cells.

In prokaryotes, the transcription and translation are coupled and takes place in the cytosol whereas in eukaryotes transcription in the nucleus and translation in the cytosol.

Also in eukaryotes, modifications like the splicing, alternative splicing, capping and tailing are observed which are not observed in the prokaryotes.

An actin-binding protein called cofilin binds preferentially to ADP-containing actin filaments rather than ATP-containing actin
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Cofilin binds to older actin filaments

Explanation:

Microfilaments (also called actin filaments) are a class of protein filament common to all eukaryotic cells, which consist of two strands of subunits of the protein actin. Microfilaments form part of the cell's cytoskeleton and interact with the protein myosin in order to allow the movement of the cell. Within the cell, actin may show two different forms: monomeric G-actin and polymeric F-actin filaments. Microfilaments provide shape to the cell because these filaments can depolymerize (disassemble) and polymerize (assembly) quickly, thereby allowing the cell to change its shape. During the polymerization process, the ATP that is bound to G-actin is hydrolyzed to ADP, which is bound to F-actin. ATP-actin subunits are present at the barbed ends of the filaments, and cleavage of the ATP molecules produces highly stable filaments bound to ADP. In consequence, it is expected that cofilin binds preferentially to highly stable (older) filaments ADP-actin filaments instead of ATP-actin filaments.
