The answer is pilus. This structure joins two bacteria of same species and allow exchange of genetic material in a process called horizontal gene transfer (conjugation). The plasmid of one of the bacteria (the mobile plasmid) is nicked once and the strand moves through the pillus to the other bacteria. It combines with the other plasmid or chromosome to for recombinant dna.
The very function, or job of CELL MEMBRANES is to protect the cell from it's surroundings, or in other words, to keep it safe. It controls the movement of substances in and out of cells and organelles, like a guard watching for suspicious activity and protecting something.
The cell membrane itself is a thin, flexible layer around the cells of all living things. It separates the inside of the cells from the outside of the cells.
The given blank can be filled with a feature resulting from hot volcanic rock.
The geysers refer to the rare characteristics on Earth, only about 1000 of them prevail, and more than half of those are situated in Yellowstone. For a geyser to develop, there must be a source of volcanic heat, enough groundwater, and a geologic plumbing system via which the heated water can escape.
The absconding of water takes place when the groundwater is heated by the hot volcanic rocks. The intensifying steam bubbles push the water above via the fissures in the rock until they overflow from the geyser.
With the absconding of the top layers of the water, the pressure on the hotter waters below diminishes, leading to a violent chain reaction of explosions, which expand the volume of the rising boiling water by up to 1500 times or more.
