The organelle which is most likely to be missing from leaf cells is Lysosomes.

Lysosomes are an important organelle for eukaryotic animal cells as they contain the digestive enzymes. The macromolecules or foreign matter which are harmful for the cells enter the animal cells easily but not the plant cells as the plant cells contain cell walls. Phagocytosis or digestion of macromolecules is not much needed in plant cells so a lysosome can be missing from the leaf cell.

<span>A cell is the most basic form of life. It is what most of the organisms are made off. For the organism to function, the cell must also function. It has organelles too that helps functions what the microorganisms need. A leaf cell contains chloroplasts that animal cells and other cells do not have. The chloroplast is where the photosynthesis happens. It needs sunlight for the process of photosynthesis. Notice that the leaf has a broader surface area to enable them to be exposed to the sun.</span>

When do bacteria need genetic information?

e-lub [12.9K]

Bacteria have either DNA or RNA as genetic material. This genetic material must be able to replicate efficiently and accurately in order to make sure that offspring inherit the same genotype as the parent organism. This is possible because of genetic information.

How are traits passed from parent(s) to offspring in sexual vs. asexual reproduction?

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

In sexual reproduction, traits will be taken from both parents, so the child will be a mix of traits from the father and the mother

In asexual reproduction, there is only one parent, so the child will be a genetical replica of the parent

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

ANSWER : a wide range of environmental conditions that shapes communities.

Explanation:

Climate can easily be described as the average weather which occurs in a place over a long period of time probably over many years. The ecosystems and habitats around the earth are shaped due to climate as particular climate can be best for the living condition of one organism but be devastating for the living of another organism. The effect of climate on living communities is such devastating that a change in climate can cause the extinction of a particular kind of species. Climate shall not be confused with weather which is day to day temperature change.

In what direction does blood flow through the heart? a) from ventricles to atria b) from a region of high pressure to a region o

Sauron [17]

Answer:

b) from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure

Explanation:

Blood flow is measured in blood volume per unit time. It is the movement of blood through an organ, tissue or vessel. It is initiated when ventricles in heart contract leading to its ejection at high pressure. Major arteries receive this blood and they further transport it at high pressure to smaller arteries, arterioles and capillaries. Hence arteries have thick walls to withstand this pressure. The pressure decreases when blood reaches to veins hence their walls are not that thick. Hence, blood flows from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure.
