Answer

Reflex response helps to keep organisms alive by quickening their reaction times when in danger instead of having to think about what they need to do

Explanation:

Think about your friend throwing something at your face. What do you do- you probably cover up your face, or try to move out of the way. This is a reflex, and it saves your face from pain. While this is a silly example, these type of automatic "reflex" reactions are absolutely vital in the wild. Mice have the reflex to run when a they see or hear what they think is a predator. This give them the precious seconds they need to escape certain death. Say they didn't move on reflex. If they instead sat and thought about what they needed to do, the predator would catch them and they would die.

<span>As many researchers hypothesize that the old single-celled organism or the origin of the complex-celled organisms came from the endosymbiosis of the mitochrondrion organism and the prokaryotic cell. It has been said that mitochondria was an independent organism which then to have been evovled itself after planting itself inside a prokaryotic cell which aided cellular respiration and production of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). This then aided the prokaryotic cell to be more sophisticated and caused another change from having without a true nucleus to a eukaryotic cell with a nucleus and embedded DNA.</span>

Las bacterias son capaces de transferir plasmido De una celula ah otra Mediante la estructura bacteriaNa Cual es esa estructura

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Pilus.

Explicación:

Pilus es la estructura que se encarga de transferir el plásmido entre las células bacterianas. Un pilus es un apéndice con forma de cabello que se encuentra en la superficie de muchas bacterias y arqueas. Esta estructura de pilus es responsable de la transferencia de plásmido de una célula a otra. Esta transferencia de plásmido de una célula bacteriana a otra se llama conjugación bacteriana, por lo que podemos concluir que el pilus es la estructura o apéndices que causa la transferencia de plásmido.
