Answer:

The Central Nervous system is made up of the brain,the control units,and the spinal cord ,the network of nerves ,which feed the brain with sensory information for processing.The entire CNS is lined by a constantly circulating fluid called the Cerebrospinal Fluid.(CSF).

Together with the Peripheral Nervous system,the CNS ensure coordination of the body activities.

Generally both the brain and the spinal cord are protected by the skull and vertebral column respectively. Their activities are based on the million of neurons which are networked by synapses.

Functions are:

processing information that is received from the stimuli receptors

sending out information so that the body can react appropriately to stimuli

coordinating reflexes and reactions to stimuli.

These functions are performed through the fast reflex pathways, for efficient coordination of the systems of the body by the CNS with PNS

Which of the following organelles is the principal and distinquishing feature of the eukaryotic cell? A. ribosomes B. chloroplas

dsp73

Answer:

E. Nucleus

Explanation:

All living organisms were classified into three major domains viz: Eukarya, Archaea and Bacteria. Eukarya are referred to as EUKARYOTES while the other two domains are collectively referred to as PROKARYOTES.

The major basis of this classification is the presence or absence of a membrane bound NUCLEUS. Eukaryotes are organisms characterized by the possession of a membrane-bound nucleus that houses their genetic material (DNA) while prokaryotes lack a nucleus and hence, their genetic material is found naked in the cytoplasm. Although, prokaryotic cells lack other membrane-bound organnelles like Chloroplast, mitochondria etc. but nucleus is the basis of this classification:

EU meaning TRUE, KARYA meaning NUCLEUS, hence Eukarya means organisms will true nucleus.

In noncyclic photophosphorylation, O2 is released from

jonny [76]

The correct answer is: B) H2O

Non-cyclic photophosphorylation is a light reaction and it occurs in the thylakoid membrane and it involves two different chlorophyll photosystem.

Non-cyclic photophosphorylation is a reaction where a water molecule is broken down into 2H+ + 1/2 O2 + 2e− . This process is called photolysis. The 2H+ and 1/2O2 from the water are left out for further use, while two electrons are kept in photosystem II.

Which structure or organelle is found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? A) ribosomes B) chloroplasts C) mitochondria D)

rjkz [21]

Answer:

The correct answer would be A) ribosomes.

A ribosome is a vesicular structure present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. They consist of ribosomal RNA and associated proteins.

They are the site of translation in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

They are made up two units which are called large sub-unit and small sub-unit.

In prokaryotic cells, 70S ribosomes are present which are made up of 50S large sub-units and 30S small sub-units.

In eukaryotic cells, 80S ribosomes are present which are made up of 60S large sub-units and 40S small sun-units.
