Cellular homeostasis involves maintaining a balance of several factors that make a cell healthy and the cell membrane lets it do just that.

So were is the genetic material find in a prokaryotic cell
tiny-mole [99]
Endomembrane system -- not in prokaryotes
cytoskeleton -- a structural part of cytoplasm sometimes occurrent in prokaryotes
mitochondria -- not in prokaryotes 
nucleus -- if this is a "membrane-bound" nucleus, then definitely not in prokaryotes
cytoplasm -- this is the fluid that houses everything in the cell membrane
flagella -- little "tail" for locomotion, so no
cilia -- similar to flagella, little feelers usually for locomotion 
ribosomes -- these make protein using amino acids
chloroplasts -- not in prokaryotes
membrane -- just a casing surrounding a cell or organelle
organelles -- general word for the parts of a cell that perform various functions
cell membrane -- just the casing for the cell, not where genetic material's located

Why do you suppose the united states still uses the english system for everyday measurements while almost every other country us
Alchen [17]
Answer:
Because the English measurement system has been in use for a very long time, it will be costly and time consuming to change from the English to SI units. Many technological measurements, products, and tools were developed in English units.

The cost of converting all measurements to SI units will be costly and will require a long period of time. Conversions between the English and the SI system of units appear to be more cost-effective than hardware changes.

Example:
It will be costly to convert designs for bridges, tunnels, locomotives, automobiles, and other hardware to the SI system. Although new designs are being performed in SI units, much useful hardware based on English units still remain.

Eventually, it is likely that complete conversion from English to SI units will happen, albeit slowly.
