What are the physical features of Noctiluca?

Biology

boyakko [2]3 years ago

Best Answer: One of the marvels of the ocean is a little creature called Noctiluca scintillans, commonly known as the seasparkle. It is a dinoflagellate, a little single-celled algae. Floating in swarms of millions these organisms cause the glowing of the sea. The archetype of a dinoflagellate has a flattened spherical body shape and is armoured by plates covered with an intricate texture. They propel themselves with two (or sometimes more) flagella. One is pointed downward, the other is running as a spiral through a groove running along the equator of the cell. Noctiluca however has a different body plan. It forms a gas bag that enables the creature to float right under the surface of the ocean. There still are two flagella although one is exceptionally thick. This large one is clearly visible while the other one is very insignificant (just noticeable in the picture above the large flagella).

Name two organelles that get rid of waste in the cell?
Burka [1]

Answer:

<h2>Endoplasmic reticulum</h2>

The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes within the cell through which proteins and other molecules move. Proteins assemble into organelles called ribosomes. When proteins are destined to be part of the cell membrane or exported out of the cell, ribosomes assemble them and add them to the endoplasmic reticulum, giving it a rough appearance.

How might the vinegar solution help keep pickles fresh for a long period of a time?
yaroslaw [1]
Vinegar could usually be added to pickles because the added acid of the vinegar inhibits any sort of bacteria from entering the substance, and this would help keep them fresh for a longer period of time too.

devlian [24]

Answer:

Las células procariotas están rodeadas por una membrana plasmática y al igual que las células eucariotas tienen ADN, citoplasma y ribosomas. También tienen paredes celulares y pueden poseer una cápsula celular. Los procariontes tienen un solo cromosoma de gran tamaño, que no está rodeado por una membrana nuclear.30-Jan-2013
