Answer:

Advantage of gene expression in prokaryotes is it occurs faster than in eukaryotes because  transcription and translation occur simultaneously in the cytoplasm, and regulation occurs at the transcriptional level. Whereas disadvantage of gene expression in prokaryotes is that there is no post translational modification and low expression of genes.

Explanation:

Prokaryotic organisms are single-celled organisms that lack a cell nucleus, and their DNA therefore floats freely in the cell cytoplasm. To synthesize a protein, the processes of transcription and translation occur almost simultaneously. When the resulting protein is no longer needed, transcription stops. As a result, the primary method to control what type of protein and how much of each protein is expressed in a prokaryotic cell is the regulation of DNA transcription. All of the subsequent steps occur automatically. When more protein is required, more transcription occurs. Therefore, in prokaryotic cells, the control of gene expression is mostly at the transcriptional level. whereas in eukaryotes, the DNA is contained inside the cell’s nucleus and there it is transcribed into RNA. The newly synthesized RNA is then transported out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm, where ribosomes translate the RNA into protein. The processes of transcription and translation are physically separated by the nuclear membrane; transcription occurs only within the nucleus, and translation occurs only outside the nucleus in the cytoplasm.

In the lab, Celia adds concentrated sulfuric acid to a beaker full of water. She touches the side of the beaker and finds the so
AlladinOne [14]

Answer: The statement is false

Explanation:

Addition of concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to a beaker full of water (H2O) will release heat energy to the containing vessel due to the breakage of strong ionic bond present in the acid.

Thus, it is an evidence of a EXERGONIC REACTION (since energy is released spontaneously). So, the statement is false

which component of blood consists of cell fragments and is the main contributor to healing cuts? A. erythrocytes B. thrombocytes
il63 [147K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be B. thrombocytes.

Thrombocytes, also called platelets are the components of the blood which play important role in the process of hemostasis.

Hemostasis is the process of preventing the flow of blood from the damaged site or damaged blood vessel. It is the first stage involved in the healing of the wound.

Platelets form the platelet-plug at the site of damage which in turn activates another blood clotting factor fibrinogen.

Fibrinogen gets converted into an active fibrin (insoluble) which forms the meshwork like structure to trap more and more platelets and red blood cells. It results in the formation of a clot which completely seals the cut or damaged site.
