Answer:

Explanation:

First of all, we need to know that prokaryotes are cells that don't have true nucleus, nor membranes organelles. Its counterpart is eukaryotic cells.

<u>Characteristics of prokaryotes:</u>

Lack an organised nucleus. as we said before, and membrane organelles.
The central part of this type of cell is called Nucleoid, there's found its DNA.
Its diameter size is from 0.1 to 0.5 micrometers, just bigger than flu virus, for example.
Its sized characteristics allow them to participate in ions and molecules processes. This is a important fact, because this habilitates prokaryotes to move fast through all the cell, taking out undesired elements away.
Prokaryotes are singled cells or unicellular this means that are simple cells.
Its nucleoid contains a single chromosome.

*they lack an organized nucleus and other membrane bound organelles
*DNA is found in a "nucleoid" - a central part of the cell
*The cell wall is an extra layer of protection and maintains the cell's shape.

Which source should be avoided when conducting scientific research?

Dennis_Churaev [7]

When we're doing scientific research, we should definitely be avoiding any sources which aren't scientific by nature. This means we should avoid sources which haven't been peer reviewed by fellow authors of a similar field. With this, we avoid using literature of questionable quality.

Why does an octopus or squid use its tentacles?

spin [16.1K]

Octopus and squid have little suction cups on their tentacles. It helps with sticking onto food (so it doesn't get away) and also helps with sticking into things. If it wanted to camouflage into some rocks, it can use its tentacles to cling to to the rock.

Tentacles can also grab and carry things. Scientists have made tests where they would put a clam in a jar with the lid screwed on. The octopus would grab onto the jar and use its tentacles to twist the lid off.

Without tentacles, octopuses and squids would be pretty helpless and probably couldn't survive in the deep ocean.

This has to do with blind spots: What parts of the eye are involved with this inability to see? How do these eye parts function?

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Blindspot

It has a vital role. It is the only way out of the optic nerve. By this hole optic nerve exits from the eye and goes towards the brain.

It can be proved by a simple experiment. A paper sheet is taken. Then a cross and a circle are drawn side by side on that paper. Then we will focus on the cross. Then by closing one eye and by bringing the paper slowly towards our face, the circle will be disappeared at a certain point.

Explanation:

The blind spot is a region on the retina where ganglion cells connect with the optic nerve, and the optic nerve and blood vessels leave the eyeball. There are no receptors in this area so nothing can be translated into vision. That's why the blind spot is unable to see things.
