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.

Explain how the fluid mosaic model accounts for the observed properties of cellular membranes
Zinaida [17]

 The mosaic nature is due to the numerous proteins that are entrenched in the phospholipids bilayer, fluctuate in shape, size and patterns in the same way as the stones or tiles of a mosaic. 


the flexibility is due to individual phospholipids molecules which can move virtual to one another and gives the membrane a flexible structure that is constantly changing shape

Nitrogen is a nutrient that organisms need to produce (12) . Plants and animals cannot use the nitrogen that makes up a large pe
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

12. Protein 13. Atmosphere 14. Nitrogen fixation 15. Plants 16. Consumers 17. Urinate 18. Decay 19. Decomposers 20. Ammonia 21. Denitrification

Explanation:

<em>12. Protein</em>

Nitrogen is essential to organisms. It is the main constituent of amino acids, which is the building blocks of protein in organisms.

<em>13. Atmosphere</em>

Nitrogen occurs naturally as gas in the earth’s atmosphere, accounts for about 78% of gases found in the atmosphere. This gaseous Nitrogen which is inert cannot be accessed by plants and animals for use.

<em>14. Nitrogen fixation</em>

For plants to be able to use the gaseous Nitrogen in the atmosphere, Nitrogen fixation has to take place. It involves the turning of gaseous Nitrogen in the atmosphere into ammonia. Nitrogen atoms is combined with Hydrogen atoms by  enzyme called “nitrogenase”. This enzyme is present in nitrogen-fixing bacteria.  

<em>15. Plants </em>

Nitrogen enters the food web when plants assimilate nitrogen compounds from the soil to form nucleotides, amino acids, and other important chemicals in life.

<em>16. Consumers </em>

Consumers are mainly animals that feed on plants in an ecological food web in other to be able to use the amino and nucleic acids formed from Nitrogen as a major component. Consumers can be categorized as primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers.

<em>17. Urinate </em>

Nitrogen is very much concentrated in the urine of animals and also in their faeces. As animals urinate, Nitrogen is being returned to the soil.

<em>18. Decay </em>

Decay starts, as organisms die. The organisms start decomposing.

<em>19. Decomposers </em>

Decomposers are the bacteria in the soil that break down the nucleic and amino acids in dead organisms into nitrates and ammonia through a process called ammonification

<em>20. Ammonia </em>

This is the end result of the decomposition of dead organisms by decomposers

<em>21. Denitrification </em>

Compounds of nitrogen are turned back into gaseous nitrogen by anaerobic bacteria. This prevents
