Prokaryotic cells (bacteria) have several cell components that may or may not give it an edge when it comes to survival in a har

sh environment. Review the cell components of prokaryotic cells once again. Discuss the components of the cell that can help the cell survive and evolve to become stronger and resistant to death.

Answer and Explanation:

All the components a prokaryotic cell can have are:

- Plasma membrane

- Cell wall

- Capsule

- Cytoplasm

- Nucleoid (where DNA is, it is not an actual nucleus)

- Plasmid

- Ribosomes (for protein synthesis)

- Pillus or Pili

-Flagellum or flagella

-Fimbria or fimbriae

A typical prokaryotic cell have plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleoid (genetic material) and ribosomes. Some prokaryotic cells have also cell wall, capsule, plasmids, pili, fimbriae and flagella and these components can be used for the cell to survive to unfavourable conditions.

Cell wall mantains the shape of the cell, prevents dehydratation and gives extra protection. Capsule is useful for the cell to attach surfaces. Plasmid is a circular molecule of DNA which is able to replicate independently of the chromosome (in nucleoid) and it can be transfered through a pillus to another prokaryotic cell. Plasmid can contain a gene that confers bacteria an antibiotic resistance, so if the cell posses the plasmid, it is resistent to the antibiotic. Flagellum is used for locomotion (to move on in a medium) and fimbriae are used to attach to surfaces.

Why do you think it is important to take an average resting heart rate versus relying on one value alone? what are some factors
Marina CMI [18]
2) One value might be distorted; for example it is usual that a heard rate right after sitting down can be higher than the rest rate. Other factors that might affect this is the rate of breathing, exercise. We also have that some bleeding can affect this. Finally, the point that you use to measure the heart rate can also be important in making correct measurements.
1)Taking multiple heart rates leads to more reliable results because you can use the mean and not a single value that might be far off it. You avoid thus the effects of the factors above that happen often enough so that we would appear to be ill many times when we are perfectly healthy; In scientific terms, there is some variance in measurements and that is fine.
3) Even if their resting heart rates are the same, they can react differently to stress. One reason is having low iron in your blood; it is essential for transferring oxygen in your blood and thus it is esssential when one does gymnastics. A person with low iron will have a higher pulse to accomodate his cells' needs for oxygen. The same applies to persons with breathing problems or different fitness (even if the resting heart rate is the same). Also, there could be the case that genetically one has less mitochondria and this also affects oxygen and blood needs in exercise.
4) The average rate for adults is 60-100 beats per minute. While this is not abnormal, it is rather high. An examination might be advised to see what leads to such a high bpm rate. If this yields nothing, it could be that due to age and physics reasons this is normal.

Which type of gangrene follows the cessation of blood flow to tissue after crushing injury, embolism, tourniquet, or tight banda
Zepler [3.9K]
A wet gangrene is a medical condition that occurs whenever injury from burns or trauma from a body part is crushed or squeezed which rapidly cuts off blood supply to the affected area causing tissue death and increased the risk of infection. It is called wet because of the pus that is formed. Wet gangrene infection can spread quickly throughout the body and cause life-threatening conditions if not treated quickly, 


Gangrene is a condition that occurs whenever body tissues die. It primarily caused by a loss of blood supply due to an illness, infection or injury. Oftentimes, this medical condition occurs in the fingers and limbs. They, however, can occur inside the human body damaging organs and muscles.

How do the thickness of the cuticle and the number of stomata differ in plants from wet habitats versus dry habitats? Drag the a
slavikrds [6]
<h2>Wet versus Dry habitats</h2>

Explanation:

  • Plants from wet habitats have a relatively large number of stomata and thin cuticle
  • Plants from dry habitats have a less number of stomata and thick cuticle
  • Stomata helps in exchange of gases whereas cuticle reduces the loss of water
  • If water is more then plants have large number of stomata which helps in great access to water and increases support for herbaceous tissues
  • In case of dry habitat conditions are not favorable with regard to water hence a thick cuticle is required to minimize the water loss while in wet habitat water is abundant hence they have a thin cuticle

A.Vascular plants have a relatively large number of stomata

B. Plants from wet habitats include white lotus,water lily

C. Plants from dry habitats include xerophytes for example cactus,oleander
