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>

  1. Lack an organised nucleus. as we said before, and membrane organelles.
  2. The central part of this type of cell is called Nucleoid, there's found its DNA.
  3. Its diameter size is from 0.1 to 0.5 micrometers, just bigger than flu virus, for example.
  4. 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.
  5. Prokaryotes are singled cells or unicellular this means that are simple cells.
  6. Its nucleoid contains a single chromosome.

Explain how soaring and gliding birds use their air currents in their flight
ira [324]

Soaring and gliding birds like eagle, vulture, albatross, sea gulls etc are efficiently adapted to utilize the air currents in their flight.

Explanation:

The soaring flight and gliding movements are special adaptation developed by birds to meet the challenge of increasing turbulent air current.

Birds have the extraordinary skill of flying smoothly and effortlessly even at very high altitudes  

Birds soar by using thermal and dynamic soaring techniques.

Gliding movements help the birds to deflect the wind downward which helps to lift their bodies in the air. They do not flap their wings during gliding but just dive straight into the air which helps to increase their speed.

The adaptation of the bird’s structure with very light but strong bones on their wings helps to soar and glide in the air.
