The endosymbiotic theory stated that the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells are actually prokaryotic bacteria which were once engulfed by prehistoric eukaryotic cells as a result of evolution.

 

Therefore to answer this question, here are some characteristics: 
1 Both mitochondria and prokaryotic cells contain their own DNA.

2 Neither of the two have true nuclei, but they do have a space in which their DNA is enclosed. 
3 Mitochondria and prokaryotic cells have similar transcriptional machinery, which means that they have the same process of making RNA from DNA.

<span>4 Mitochondria contain their own genome, and the formation of their genome in most organisms is circular similar to prokaryotes.</span>

which method of microbian control does not rely on denaturing proteins and/or disrupting the integreity of the cell membrane
Over [174]

Lyophilization Methods of microbial control do not rely on protein denaturation and/or disruption of cell membrane integrity

Lyophilization Freeze-drying or freeze-drying is the process of freezing the product and placing it under vacuum, then removing the water from the product, allowing the ice cream to go directly from solid to vapor without going through a liquid phase. Freeze-drying is a water removal process commonly used to preserve perishable materials, extend shelf life, or make materials easier to transport. Freeze-drying is to sublime the frozen water in the material by lowering the pressure and applying heat after freezing the material. Lyophilization converts pharmaceuticals into stable solids by removing water from liquids

Which cells are responsible for the movement of photosynthates through a plant?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

sieve-tube elements, companion cells

Explanation:

Sieve-tube elements and companion cells are responsible for the movement of photosynthes through a plant.

The sieve tube elements are shorter (almost organelle-free) living cells, placed end to end, forming the sieve tubes. Their transverse cell walls are called sieve plaques that make connections between cells and through openings called sieves establish the connection between the cytoplasm of adjacent cells.  Each sieve is coated with calose (glucose polymer), which in winter can completely clog the vessel and then dissolve in spring. When infections occur or the vessel is parasitized, it can also be clogged with callose.

Companion cells are specialized parenchymal cells, which contain all the components that exist in living cells, including the nucleus, are the cells most closely linked to the sieved tube element. The Screened Tube Element and its companion cells are related in development, are derived from the same mother cell, and have several cytoplasmic connections to each other. Due to the many connections, the potential function of the companion cells is to release substances into the sieved tube element and, when the nucleus is absent, to include information molecules, proteins and ATP. When a screened element dies, its companion cells also die, which is a demonstration of this interdependence.

Importance of protein in metabolism​
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Protein is also used for growth and repair. Amid all these necessary functions, proteins also hold the potential to serve as a metabolic fuel source. Proteins are not stored for later use, so excess proteins must be converted into glucose or triglycerides, and used to supply energy or build energy reserves.
