A gel-like substance is placed in a glass dish on top of a heat plate turned on low. The substance at first does not move. You a

dd five drops of water and wait two minutes. All of the sudden, the substance begins to move around the glass dish. You are not touching the heat plate, the glass dish, or the gel but it is definitely moving around the dish. At times the gel-like substance seems to divide into two smaller blobs. You watch the gel until it eventually dries up and leaves only a crystal like structure in the bottom of the dish. Using the criteria developed in class, explain if the gel like substance is living or nonliving. Make sure you are including each criterion from our class model in your response.

1._Mentions eukaryotic cells<br> 2._Mentions prokaryotic cells
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Eukaryotic cells are cells that contain a nucleus and organelles, and are enclosed by a plasma membrane. Organisms that have eukaryotic cells include protozoa, fungi, plants and animals.

(google)

A prokaryotic cell is a simple, single-celled (unicellular) organism that lacks a nucleus, or any other membrane-bound organelle. We will shortly come to see that this is significantly different in eukaryotes. Prokaryotic DNA is found in the central part of the cell: a darkened region called the nucleoid (Figure 1).
