Just like other cells, the part of the bacterium that is able to interact with its outside environment is its cell membrane. Generally, the main function of the cell membrane is for barrier and protection. This decides which molecules will be allowed to permeate or not. Hope this helps.

IN YOUR OWN WORDS what is the definition?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Prophase is the first phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells.

Metaphase is a stage in the cell cycle where all the genetic material is condensing into chromosomes.

Anaphase is the stage of mitosis and meiosis in which the chromosomes move toward the poles of the spindle.

Telophase is the final stage of mitosis and of the second division of meiosis in which the spindle disappears and the nucleus reforms around each set of chromosomes.

Cytokinesis is the division of cells after either mitosis or meiosis I and II.

What does it mean when dna is openly floating around the cytosol
vaieri [72.5K]

Most, maybe all, bacteria have their genome DNA tethered to their cell membranes, so it is in the cytoplasm but its not really floating around. Plasmids in bacteria however are free floating. This is why it's so easy to isolate plasmids from bacteria with centrifugation after lysing.

What does the presence of pillow lava says about the place?
allsm [11]

Answer:

The presence of pillow lavas in the oldest preserved volcanic sequences on the planet, the Isua and Barberton greenstone belts, confirms the presence of large bodies of water on the Earth's surface early in the Archean Eon. Pillow lavas are used generally to confirm subaqueous volcanism in metamorphic belts.

Hope this helps :)
