Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells

Biology

Lostsunrise [7]4 years ago

There are two main types of cells among living organisms:

  • Eukaryotic cell (plants, animals, fungi) which is more compound, conntains nucleus with genetic material in it, membrane-bound organelles (mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes etc). Because of their complex structure, the process within such cells are often more comlex then those in prokaryotes. Eukaryotic organisms are usually multicellular
  • Prokaryotic cell is simple cell found in Archea and Bacteria kingdom. It doesn't have nucleus neither membrane-bound organelles. Genetic material of these cell is located within the cytoplasm together with proteins and metabolites. First living cell was prokaryotic cell. Organisms that are prokaryotic are usually unicellular.

Prokaryotes are usually smaller than eukaryotes. They also don’t have a nucleus so DNA is in the cytoplasm. They also have no organelle membranes where as eukaryotes do. Domains of prokaryotes include Bacteria and Archaea, and all eukaryotes are in the domain Eukarya. Both can be free living, but only eukaryotes can be multicellular. Prokaryotes first appeared on earth about 3.5 billions then eukaryotes appeared about a billion years later. Etc....

Three examples of selective breedings, explain?
ANEK [815]

Artificial Selection is a form of selection in which humans actively choose which traits should be passed onto offspring. Humans have used selective breeding long before Darwin's Postulates and the discovery of genetics. Farmers chose cattle with beneficial traits such as larger size or producing more milk, and made them breed; and although they may have known nothing about genes, they knew that the beneficial traits could be heritable. The farmers selected for certain traits in their cattle and probably noticed that the offspring were becoming more and more productive with each generation. Scientists study these traits and spend a lot of time calculating how heritable these traits can be. The more these traits are expressed in the offspring (i.e. size, milk production, etc), the more heritable these traits are said to be. Hunting is also a form of artificial selection, with the genes that humans "want" (i.e. - the biggest buck with the most points, the largest fish, etc.) being removed from the gene pool, allowing the less "wanted" genes to pass on to the next generation by increasing their odds of mating when compared to the hunted specimens.

Hope this will help.

Which process must occur for a muscle to be able to relax?
Anastasy [175]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>A. The concentration of calcium in the myofibril must decrease. </u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Each time we move a muscle, it requires the joined activity of trillions of myosin engines. Our muscle cells use calcium particles to facilitate this monstrous atomic exertion. At the point when a muscle cell is given the sign to contract from its related nerves, it discharges a surge of calcium particles from an uncommon intracellular holder, the sarcoplasmic reticulum that encompasses the groups of actin and myosin fibers.

The calcium particles quickly spread and tie to Tropomyosin on the actin fibers. They move shape somewhat and enable myosin to tie and start moving up the fiber. These trillions of myosin engines will keep climbing, getting the muscle, until the calcium is evacuated.  

The calcium pump enables muscles to relax after this furious flood of calcium-instigated constriction. The siphon is found in the film of the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
