Answer:

Capsule

Explanation:

In many bacterial species, an extracellular layer composed of a polysaccharide especially a monosaccharide is produced around the cell wall of the bacteria. This extracellular layer is known as the slime layer or the capsule.

The capsule in bacteria serves many purposes like it protects the bacteria from the destruction by the white blood cell in the host, it enables the bacteria to adhere to the substrates and protect it.

In the plant group called the bryophytes also a capsule structure is present which grows in the sporophytic phase and encloses the spores, therefore, the capsule is considered the sporangium of the bryophytes.

Thus, the capsule is correct.

The iron-containing protein found in red blood cells isO A) hemoglobin.O B) white blood cells,O C) platelets.O D) plasma.

Sonja [21]

I assume you are not familiar with this topic. I suggest you read more about this protein from online books or ur own book if you have.
White blood cell = its a cell just like the name suggests, in fact, more like its a family of cell types that are responsible for immunity and some other functions (it doesnt look like you need to know the details on other functions so just stick with immunity)
Platelets = these are not really cells, but you can say they are sorta like bits of cells, they contain important protein(s) for blood clotting and surely they themselves play important role in blood clotting which prevents us from bleeding to death when we get a cut for example.
Plasma = this is part of blood, excluding red blood cells and white blood cells, its basically fluid with nutrients, ions and most importantly blood proteins, such as carrier ones like Albumin.

The only one left is Hemoglobin,
heme is the iron part (which is not really iron alone but thats the only one u need to know)
and globin is the protein part
these two make up hemoglobin
so this complex resides inside red blood cells, which flow in our vessels to every part of our body supplying them with nutrients and oxygen taken from our capillary system of lungs.

Fossils of Glossopteris, an extinct fern, were discovered on which continents to support the theory of continental drift? Check

Alenkasestr [34]

Accordin to Du Toit's list supporting the theory of continental drift, the correct options are A, C, ad D. Fossils of Glossopteris were discovered on Africa, Australia, and Antarctica.

--------------------------------

Before answering the question, let us first review some theoretical frameworks,

• The tectonic plates theory explains the movement of the different plates based on the crust movements.

• The continental drift theory explains how these movements have been taking place for millions of years.

Alfred Wegener was the first one to state the concept of continental drift.

He proposed that once all continents were together a single big continent named Pangea, and with time, they split and separated into many pieces.

The geologist Du Toit published in 1937 a list of 10 pieces of evidence that would support the theory of tectonic plates and continental drift.

Du Toit's list includes evidence of Gondwana glaciation, lithological and structural evidence, plates fitting together, and paleontological evidence.

Paleontological evidence

• Plant and animal fossils distribution suggests the existence of a big unique continent. When reconstructing the supercontinent, the areas where these fossils were found get together in the same supercontinental region.

• Glossopteris (fern) impressions are widely distributed in determined areas of Africa, South America, India, Australia and Antarctica.

• Terrestrial vertebrate fossils also support the theory. The presence of Triassic tetrapods in all continents suggests terrestrial corridors between landmasses.

Finding Glossopteris in Australia, India, South America, Antarctica and Africa suggests that continents were once together, and these species used to live in the same region.

With time, these continents diverged and got separated by the oceans. The region where Glossopteris used to live got divided.

The correct options are A, C, and D. Africa, Australia, Antarctica.
