No Nucleus

All members of the kingdom Monera have no nuclei in their cells. All genetic material in moneran cells floats loose in the cytoplasm. In fact, the only parts of the cell that exist in a moneran are the cell wall and the ribosomes. Moneran cell walls are made of peptidoglycan. This is the case for all monerans except for archaebacteria. Monerans also move about using flagella.

Digestion

Monerans digest their food outside of the cell and then absorb the nutrients. Different monerans, however, digest their food in a variety of ways. Some simply generate their own food by making their organic compounds. Others need to feed off of other organic matter, such as decaying material. Some monerans are parasites that feed off of a host and others create a symbiotic relationship with another organism. According to Thinkquest.com, monerans are separated into different classifications by how they feed.

Other Characteristics

Monerans reproduce by both sexual conjugation or asexual binary fission. Circulation is done by diffusion, which is similar to the way they digest. Monerans all breathe differently. Some cannot survive without oxygen while some die if exposed to oxygen. Monerans come in three different shapes: spiral, rod-shaped or spherical. In order to protect themselves, most Monerans are surrounded by a capsule of polysaccharides that keeps them from drying out and acts as protection against other harmful cells.

How gas exchange occurs when circulartory and respiratory system work together?
just olya [345]
The oxygen that goes through alveoli and diffuses into blood capillaries. The oxygenated blood goes though aorta and is pumped by the heart and goes out through the vena cava to be distributed to the whole body. the deoxygenated blood comes back to the heart from the body and is pumped back towards the lungs. the carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood capillaries and goes out of the body.

Would it be technically correct to say that some plants go to sleep at night? explain.
IRISSAK [1]

People sleep (usually) at night, and dogs and cats doze pretty much whenever they can. But how about other living things, like plants? Whether or not those tulips turn in at the end of the day depends on whom you ask—and how you define sleep.

Plants don’t have a central nervous system, which is an essential regulator of sleep in humans. But they do tune themselves to a 24-hour circadian rhythm, just like you. And they do shut down certain processes, like photosynthesis, when the sun goes down, shifting their focus instead to delivering glucose (sugar) throughout the plant. Some plants, including the aptly named morning glory, also close their blooms when the sun goes down.

Sunlight is a key trigger for humans to know what time to sleep and when to be awake. And the same is true of plants. While light and dark tell your body when to produce the hormone melatonin, which cues your body to feel sleepy, light and dark triggers tell plants when to produce the hormone auxin, which controls growth and development.

Plants may not be able to get up and hunt for food (or grocery shop, or call for takeout, for that matter!), but they do move in small ways to maximize their exposure to energy-giving sunlight. During the day, they soak up the sun in order to make energy through photosynthesis, a plant’s version of eating. Then, at night, they turn their attention to metabolizing the energy that they’ve taken in and using it to grow. So maybe you should be saying “goodnight” to your garden when you turn out the lights!    hope this helps

Would life cease to exist without energy from the sun or some other source
goldfiish [28.3K]
Yes because we use the sun light as a way to grow crops for one so no one would be getting any food and plant life would never grow and would die so we wouldn't be getting Air as well because trees and plants make oxygen for us
