Explanation:

D. The organism is eukaryotic because it has membrane-bound organelles.

Cells are the basic microscopic units of all organisms. There are two cell types, Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.

Prokaryotic ( meaning pro: before and Karyon: for kernel/nut) describes organisms which don’t have a cell nucleus or other organelles surrounded by membranes. Eukaryotic (eu meaning true), are organisms with a cell nucleus and several other organelles surrounded by membranes. Example prokaryotes do not contain: nuclei , Golgi apparatus, chloroplasts, mitochondria

Both may contain a cell wall (seen in eukaryotic fungi and plant cells)

Arranged in a phospholipid bilayer, the membrane is semi-permeable; allowing entry into the extracellular fluid or the cytoplasm which are both hydrophilic and contain large concentrations of polar water molecules or other water-soluble compounds. The hydrophilic heads of the bilayer are attracted to water while their water-repellent hydrophobic tails face towards each other- allowing molecules of water and hydrophilic molecules to move across the membrane along the concentration gradient.

Their structural components (i.e. their makeup) determine their function (what they do) . For instance, photosynthesizing cells in algae and plants have structures called chloroplasts. These contain chlorophyll, a specialized compound which facilitates the conversion of light energy to energy stored in carbohydrates. In specific cell types, collected proteins may function as a unit called an organelle. Some organelles are bound by membranes like those that make up the external structure of the cell, with varying compositions of phospholipids and proteins. These are advantageous, as they:

may increase metabolic reaction efficiency; they allow cells to concentrates smaller fractions of enzymes and solutes
separate proteins and molecules that me harm the cell by parceling them into membrane-bound organelles for example, proteaseas bound within lysosomes can break down many structural proteins

Explain how mitosis ensures genetic continuity from cell to cell in an organism

frosja888 [35]

In comparison, mitosis occurs more in your body since it changes, modifies and requires cell division at maximum rate in many useful situations with the stand to a particular system and organ. Mitosis and meiosis are simply cell division processes that occurs differently, they're characteristically divergent from each other according to their function and structure. Mitosis is the cell division that happens in all cells in the human body except sperm and egg cells. They produce diploid cells. Meiosis on the other hand is responsible for the cell division of the gametes, spermatogenesis (sperm cells) and oogenesis (egg cells), such haploid cells. Take for instance your integumentary system, layer of the skin in which your stratum basale always produces new epithelial cells (via mitosis) to take over until the outer layer, called stratum corneum (a continous replaced dead cells in this layer).

What the definition of reproductive cycle

nlexa [21]

Answer:

It is the cycle when the reproductive organs start to fertilize. Another form of this is called the menstural cycle when natural changes in the uterus and ovaries to make reproduction possible soon.

The correct option is this: BREAKING CARBON BONDS RELEASE ENERGY THAT ORGANISMS USE FOR LIFE PROCESSES.
The food that are eaten by living organisms are composed of carbon element which bond in various ways with other elements. Chemical energy are stored inside this bonds and released for the organisms use when they are broken.
