B) Nucleus!
Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, and the Nucleus in a Eukaryotic cell are large and very hard to miss (if that matters to you!)

Prokaryotes from eukaryotes 


1. Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus, bound by a double membrane. Prokaryotic cells have no nucleus. The purpose of the nucleus is to sequester the DNA-related functions of the big eukaryotic cell into a smaller chamber, for the purpose of increased efficiency. This function is unnecessary for the prokaryotic cell, because its much smaller size means that all materials within the cell are relatively close together. Of course, prokaryotic cells do have DNA and DNA functions. Biologists describe the central region of the cell as its "nucleoid" (-oid=similar or imitating), because it's pretty much where the DNA is located. But note that the nucleoid is essentially an imaginary "structure." There is no physical boundary enclosing the nucleoid. 


2. Eukaryotic DNA is linear; prokaryotic DNA is circular (it has no ends). 


3. Eukaryotic DNA is complexed with proteins called "histones," and is organized into chromosomes; prokaryotic DNA is "naked," meaning that it has no histones associated with it, and it is not formed into chromosomes. Though many are sloppy about it, the term "chromosome" does not technically apply to anything in a prokaryotic cell. A eukaryotic cell contains a number of chromosomes; a prokaryotic cell contains only one circular DNA molecule and a varied assortment of much smaller circlets of DNA called "plasmids." The smaller, simpler prokaryotic cell requires far fewer genes to operate than the eukaryotic cell. 


4. Both cell types have many, many ribosomes, but the ribosomes of the eukaryotic cells are larger and more complex than those of the prokaryotic cell. Ribosomes are made out of a special class of RNA molecules (ribosomal RNA, or rRNA) and a specific collection of different proteins. A eukaryotic ribosome is composed of five kinds of rRNA and about eighty kinds of proteins. Prokaryotic ribosomes are composed of only three kinds of rRNA and about fifty kinds of protein. 


5.The cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells is filled with a large, complex collection of organelles, many of them enclosed in their own membranes; the prokaryotic cell contains no membrane-bound organelles which are independent of the plasma membrane. This is a very significant difference, and the source of the vast majority of the greater complexity of the eukaryotic cell. There is much more space within a eukaryotic cell than within a prokaryotic cell, and many of these structures, like the nucleus, increase the efficiency of functions by confining them within smaller spaces within the huge cell, or with communication and movement within the cell.

What happens to an enzyme as the temperature rises
Damm [24]

heightened temperatures can cause enzymes to work more quickly whereas if the temperature gets too high the enzyme stops working, If the temperature around an enzyme gets too high, the enzyme loses its shape, which is known as denaturation, and will eventually stop working

The pulmonary semilunar valve guards the entrance to the
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

<h2>pulmonary trunk</h2>

Explanation:

The pulmonary valve is an important semilunar valve and found in the heart between the pulmonary artery and the right ventricle. This valve contains three cups that are responsible for the guarding of the pulmonary trunk. The pulmonary trunk is an important vessel of the heart that arises from the right ventricle and plays an important role in the circulation of the deoxygenated blood. The pulmonary trunk is called the main pulmonary artery.
