Answer: The correct answer is- c. They do not live in the extreme environments.

Cell membrane ( also called plasma membrane) surrounds the cytoplasm of all cells and separates the internal environment of cell from its external environment. In bacteria, it is composed of phospholipids and many protein.

  • Phopholipids are linked to ester in case of bacterial cell membrane whereas in archaebacteria, they are linked to ether ( that is they are linked to glycerol backbone).

The ether linkage in the cell membrane of Archaebacteria forms stable membranes that enable them to survive under harsh environmental conditions such as hot springs, boiling mud surrounding volcanoes,  salt lakes,

Bacteria do not live under such conditions. Thus, bacteria lack ether-linked cell membranes.

Why would prokaryotic cells be considered a simple cell when compared to eukaryotic cell?
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Prokaryotic cells are more simple and smaller than eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are structurally more simple because of their small size. It's also defined as the smaller a cell size, the greater is its surface to volume ratio (means surface area of a cell compared to its volume).

In smaller prokaryotic cells, a large surface to volume ratio is present. It means that nutrients can rapidly and easily reach any interior part of the cell.

The large eukaryotic cell have limited surface area as compared to its volume it means that nutrients cannot rapidly reach to all interior parts of the cell, because of that eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic cells, and they require specialized internal organelles to carry out processes like provide energy, metabolism and transport necessary chemicals throughout the cell.

<u>Basic Science Questions</u>:

What is cancer.

What are the symptoms of this disease.

What will be remedy to avoid such disease.

How it will be diagnosed.

<u>Applied Science questions</u>:

How to test the cancer patient.

How the surgery takes place.

What complications might arise during a surgery.

When chemotherapy can take place.

What are side effects of having a chemotherapy.

How many types of cancer.

How to identify the stage of cancer.

Explanation:

Basic Science normally focuses on the information that is required by general public. These questions aims to explain the basic knowledge and research to the public who does not belong to medical backgrounds.

Applied Science aims to detailed and more deep research. It focuses on practical application and required every detail about a certain process. It aims to develop more practical application by application of basic research and scientific knowledge.
