Answer:

Nucleus

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are the singled cell organisms that do not have a true nucleus which means like eukaryotes they lack a membrane-bound nucleus. So the genetic material of prokaryote are present in the cytoplasm of their cell.

Apart from the nucleus prokaryotes also lack membrane-bound organelle like mitochondria or chloroplast which are present in eukaryotes and helps in ATP formation for the cell. So prokaryotes use the plasma membrane of cell for production of ATP.

Therefore an organism can be classified as a prokaryote if it lacks a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.

Which of the following is a physical adaptation for the underlined animal?

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Physical adaptations do not develop during an individual animal's life, but over many generations. The shape of a bird's beak, the color of a mammal's fur, the thickness or thinness of the fur, the shape of the nose or ears are all examples of physical adaptations which help different animals survive.

What would happen if another substance competed for the enzyme active site?

Lelu [443]

That's what is called competitive enzymatic regulation. If there are more of that substance than the enzyme substrate, then most of the enzyme, if not all depending on the substance's concentration, will be inhibited on its action. If there are more substrate then the competitive substance, the expected reaction for that enzyme will happen at an expected rate. If the ratio substrate:substance is 1:1 then the reaction enzyme-substrate is very slowed down.

The highlighted structure separates the oocyte from the externally located ________. zona pellucida primary follicle corona radi

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Granulosa cells

Explanation:

Foliculogenesis is a dynamic and complex process through which the follicle goes through many stages of development in a short period (approximately 60 days in humans and some chimpanzees).

The stages classification is based on morphological changes such as follicular size or diameter, the number of follicular cell layers, etcetera. These classifications might vary among authors but could be denominated as:

Primordial follicle

Primary follicle

Secondary follicle and

De Graaf follicles (This is the one shown in the image)

Through each stage, there are certain modifications in the oocyte, follicular cells, and connective tissue. As the oocyte grows, the follicular cells might reach a size twice or three times bigger than the ones of the primordial follicles. Their shape also changes and they adopt an aspect of stratified epithelium. Their cytoplasm gets a granulous aspect, after what these cells receive the name of granulous cells. The De Graaf follicle characterizes for having a space named follicular antro that displaces the oocyte to one of the sides.

The oocyte at this point gets surrounded by zona pellucida and corona radiata .

The follicular antro (The highlighted structure) separates the oocyte from the externally located granulosa cells or follicular cells.
