Can a cell live without a cell membrane or Chloroplast ?

No bc Mitochondria are rod-shaped organelles that can be considered the power generators of the cell, converting oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP<span>). ATP is the chemical energy "currency" of the cell that powers the cell's metabolic activities. This process is called </span>aerobic respiration<span> and is the reason animals breathe oxygen. Without mitochondria (singular, mitochondrion), higher animals would likely not exist because their cells would only be able to obtain energy from anaerobic respiration (in the absence of oxygen), a process much less efficient than aerobic respiration. In fact, mitochondria enable cells to produce 15 times more ATP than they could otherwise, and complex animals, like humans, need large amounts of energy in order to survive.

An apple appears red because it red wavelengths.

alexdok [17]

A 'red' apple does not emit red light. Rather, it simply absorbs all the frequencies of visible light shining on it EXCEPT for a group of frequencies that is perceived as red, which are REFLECTED. An apple looks red to us because it REFLECTS infrared waves.

List the two elements of Darwin’s theory of evolution. What are some objections to these concepts?

Fynjy0 [20]

The two main points from Darwin's theory of evolution is that 1) most, if not all living organisms evolved from one or just a few common ancestors and that subsequent specialization of further generations then led to new species. Furthermore, he said that 2) the process how this was done was by natural selection where the organisms which were most adapted to their environment were successfully 'remembered in the gene pool'.

Mycoplasmas differ from other bacteria in that they Lack a cell wall.

Mycoplasmas are different from bacteria as it can cause a wide range of infections and diseases. Mycoplasmas are phenotypically distinguished from other bacteria by their small size and complete absence of a cell wall. Lack of cell wall can be used to separate the mycoplasms from bacteria. It is a genus of bacteria that, like other members of the class Mollicutes, lack a cell wall around their cell membranes. Peptidoglycan is absent. This property makes them naturally resistant to antibiotics that target cell wall synthesis. They can be parasitic or saprotrophic
