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.

Characteristics of prokaryotes:

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.

The relatively high fertility rate among Latinos partly explains the growth of their population in the United States. What is on

garri49 [273]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to my research on different cultural characteristics, I can say that based on the information provided within the question two reasons, Firstly this can be that the latino population includes many young adults, and healthy young adults have been known to repopulate faster. Secondly, latin america countries have a significantly higher fertility rate than the United States, and since the latinos in question are most likely migrants from latin america countries this can explain the high fertility rate among them.

If a cell is placed inside a solution that has a higher concentration of solute than on the inside of the cell, what can be said

Zolol [24]

WATER WILL MOVE OUT OF THE CELL CAUSING IT TO SHRIVEL. This is because, the more solute a solution contain, the less its probability of crossing a semi permeable membrane into another compartment, this then result in the net flow of water from the region of lower solute concentration to the region of higher solute concentration. Thus, water will flow out of the cell which has lower solute concentration into the surrounding solution which has higher concentration. The outflow of water will make the cell to shrivel.

Answer:

Capsule

Explanation:

In many bacterial species, an extracellular layer composed of a polysaccharide especially a monosaccharide is produced around the cell wall of the bacteria. This extracellular layer is known as the slime layer or the capsule.

The capsule in bacteria serves many purposes like it protects the bacteria from the destruction by the white blood cell in the host, it enables the bacteria to adhere to the substrates and protect it.

In the plant group called the bryophytes also a capsule structure is present which grows in the sporophytic phase and encloses the spores, therefore, the capsule is considered the sporangium of the bryophytes.

Thus, the capsule is correct.
