Bacteria are single celled prokaryotic organisms. Prokaryotic means that they do not contain membrane-bound organelles. In simpler terms, they don't have cell parts within their cytoplasm. Bacteria are classified by their shape- round or cocci, rod or bacilli, and spiral or spirilla. Bacteria may also have long whip-like tails called flagella or be covered with small hair-like projections called cilia. Both structures are used for movement. Bacteria may have a cluster of free floating DNA in its cytoplasm called a nucleoid or they may have additional small rings of DNA called plasmids. Lastly, a bacterium have a cell wall made of a special compound called peptidoglycan which can provide an extra layer of protection from many environmental conditions.

Why does the heaviness of an object not relate to the density
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Scientists define density as the mass of a substance per unit volume. The word “per”

signals that thinking about density requires thinking about a relationship. It is the relation

between the mass (or weight) of one unit of a material and the volume of that one unit.

Density cannot be directly perceived or measured. It must be inferred from the

relationship of the mass and volume. However, it can be determined by calculation

which is how many schools teach it. To calculate density, you first measure the weight

and volume of an object precisely, then you divide the mass by the volume (i.e. d=m/v,

density equals mass divided by volume). So for example, the density of water is 1 gram

per cubic centimeter because a volume of 1 cubic centimeter of water has a mass of 1

gram. A substance which has a mass of greater than one gram per cubic centimeter

has a density greater than 1.0 gram per cubic centimeter; a substance which has a

mass of less than one gram per cubic centimeter has a density of less than 1.0 gram

per cubic centimeter.

Like gymnosperms, many grasses and angiosperm trees are wind-pollinated. To conserve energy, these angiosperms do not produce co
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

C. petals

Explanation:

A)fruits

B)sepals

C)petals

D)anthers

E)ovaries

<em>The part that will not be necessary in wind pollinated angiosperm is the petals .</em>

The petal is a part of flower that is usually colorful and primarily function by attaracting insect pollinators to the flower.

<u>Since wind pollinated angiosperms do not need to attract insect for pollination, they do not need the colorful petals. They rely on wind to carry their pollen from their anthers to their stigmas (pollination).</u>

Hence, the correct option is C.

Help? You are studying an outcrop where the lower layer is limestone and the layer directly on top of the limestone is sandstone
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Due to mixing of particles present in the upper layer of limestone with sandstone during deposition.

Explanation:

The parent layer was limestone layer which is older than sandstone layer. This sandstone layer spreads on the limestone layer because of wind. The wind moves these sandstone from other region and their deposition occurs on the limestone layer. During deposition of sandstone, some particles of limestone which are present at the surface mixes with the sandstone so that's why in sandstone layer, small and weathered pieces of limestone are present.

The transfer of energy between trophic levels averages about what percent?
Lady bird [3.3K]
During the transfer of energy from one tropic level to the next tropic level around 90% of the total energy is lost in the metabolic processes in the form of heat. Hence only about 10% of the total energy can only be transferred from one tropic level to the next tropic level.
