Prokaryotic bacteria are surrounded by a cell membrane that contains the transport proteins to regulate the entry and exit of materials through the cell, the cell wall to help maintain cell shape and structure, and the capsule, which aids against drying out and protects bacteria from a host's immune system.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Bacteria are the prokaryotic organisms that are found in every part of Earth. These organisms do have an interesting ultrastructure. The coverings of the bacteria are three in layer. They are

A. The outer capsule.

B. The middle cell wall.

C. The inner cell membrane.

The capsule is the outermost covering of bacteria that is formed of different slimy materials. These materials contains hygroscopic substances which can absorb water from the surroundings even when the water concentration in outside is very very low. This layer of protection outside bacteria help them to protect themselves against drying out at dry conditions.

The middle cell wall is formed of polymers of N acetyl glucosamine and N acetyl muramic acid. This layer is chitin in nature and is strong enough to maintain the shape and size of bacteria irrespective of outer conditions.

The innermost layer of bacteria is cell membrane which is formed of proteins and lipids bilayer and this cell membrane contains different transport for proteins which help in transport of different substances like water and nutrients inside the cell by means of active transport or passive diffusion.

Prokaryotic bacteria are surrounded by a cell wall that contains the plasma membrane to regulate the entry and exit of materials through the cell, the cell wall to help maintain cell shape and structure, and the glycocalyx, which aids against drying out and protects bacteria from a host's immune system

Explanation:

  • The cell wall is a layer surrounded by some cells. The cell wall will be flexible, tough and rigid sometimes. It giving protection and structural support to the cells. It also plays a main role in the filtering mechanism.
  • Plasma membrane or the cell membrane separates the interior cells from the outside cells. It also protects the cell from the outside environment.
  • The glycocalyx is the layer which contains polysaccharides. It helping to resist the host immune system and aids against drying out. And also allowing bacteria to stick on the surfaces.

TRUE OR FALSE:
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The given statement is false.

Tropical rainforests are located near the equator and receive precipitation generally in the form of rain. These forests receive a large amount of precipitation throughout the year which can range from 80 inches to 400 inches in a year.  

Temperate rainforests are located on higher altitudes as compared to the tropical rainforests. They receive precipitation in the form of rain and snow. They receive less amount of rain as compared to tropical rainforests. They receive precipitation which lies between 40 inches and 60 inches in a year.

Thus the amount and type of precipitation in tropical and temperate rainforests are different.

What is a single celled organism that have no nucleus and can either benefit or harm the body
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Bacteria

Explanation:

Bacteria have no true nucleus because it's a prokaryote. It couldn't have been a virus because all naturally occurring viruses are pathogenic unless treated by radiation.

We have two types of bacteria,

  1. Pathogenic
  2. Commensals

Pathogenic bacteria will definitely cause disease. Commensals, however, have don't harm us and have the ability to help us.

Eg: Flora (bacteria) in our intestines produce vitamin K and most of the vitamin B complex. They also compete with the pathogenic bacteria that you might've ingested and don't allow them to increase to the number that can cause disease.

Why Is Biodiversity Important? Who Cares? Name three biological services provided by biodiversity.
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Biodiversity is usually defined as the diversification of living species that exist on earth and the complexities that occurs in the ecosystem. It includes all the plants, animals, humans and micro-organisms.

The biodiversity is often affected by factors such as climate change, loss of habitat area, and occurrence of invasive species.

Three of the biological services that are provided by biodiversity are as follows-

  • A large number of medicines are being made from the various plant species that exist in an ecosystem.
  • It provides food, on which the organisms are dependent on it.
  • It also provides materials that are used for construction purpose and used as shelter.
