Answer:

The correct answer is: supraspinatus.

Explanation:

Many muscles insert in the humerus - in its greater tubercle, where the fracture took place, is where three of the four rotator cuff muscles insert: <u>supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor</u>. Avulsion of the greater tubercle could result in detachment of any of these 3 muscles but if we take into account that the 15-year-old boy had <u>difficulty initiating abduction of the upper limb, we can infer that the damaged muscle is the supraspinatus because its main action is to start the abduction the upper limb</u>.

A single celled organism can be classified as a prokaryote based on the absence of
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Nucleus

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are the singled cell organisms that do not have a true nucleus which means like eukaryotes they lack a membrane-bound nucleus. So the genetic material of prokaryote are present in the cytoplasm of their cell.

Apart from the nucleus prokaryotes also lack membrane-bound organelle like mitochondria or chloroplast which are present in eukaryotes and helps in ATP formation for the cell. So prokaryotes use the plasma membrane of cell for production of ATP.

Therefore an organism can be classified as a prokaryote if it lacks a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
