Answer:

Explanation:

The network of fibres present in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell is called cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is of three types.

a) The three cytoskeletons are microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments.

b) Microtubules are cylindrical fibres and are made of tubulin protein, microfilaments are thread-like protein fibres made of actin protein and intermediate filaments are made of different types of proteins, among them keratin is the main protein.

c) Microtubules determines the shape of the cells, microtubules are associated with contraction of muscles and intermediate filaments provide tensile strength for the cell.

Why does Ice Float on water? How does this affect life in Earth’s aquatic environments?
Sonbull [250]

This because ice is less dense than water of particular temperature range.  Water reaches its maximum density at 4 degrees. Ice is important especially for aquatic  life in the polar regions. Polar bears give birth and hunt on sea ice and they need it to travel from one region to another. The ice edge in coastal areas is an important feeding ground for the walrus that uses the ice as diving platforms to feed on clams on the sea floor. Ice algae grow at the porous bottom of sea ice and form the base of the unique marine food web connected to sea ice

natita [175]

Answer:

Answer B. Endosymbiosis

Explanation:

Early protists were first eukaryotic organisms and had several membrane bound organelles. The anaerobic protists evolved by acquiring purple bacteria. The purple bacteria have the ability to carry out aerobic cellular respiration. The endosymbiont transformed into mitochondria in due course of evolution. Similarly, the photosynthesizing protists were evolved by endosymbiosis of cyanobacteria which in turn was transformed into chloroplast during further evolution.
