Which sentence describes the distinction between algae and plants? Algae and plants are both eukaryotes that photosynthesize the

ir own food. However, there are important distinctions between these two groups that cause scientists to distinguish between them. Algae are unicellular, while plants are multicellular. Algae use pigments other than chlorophyll in photosynthesis, while plants only use chlorophyll to photosynthesize food. Algae lack the cellular complexity to possess true leaves, stems, and roots that are present in all plants. Algal cells have a cell wall made of chitin, while plant cell walls are made of cellulose.

Correct answer: D). Algal cells have a cell wall made of chitin, while plant cell walls are made of cellulose.

Algae and plants are similar as both of them produce their own food by the process of photosynthesis. The main difference is found in their complexity.

The cell wall of the plants is made of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin, and polysaccharides, while the cell wall of algae is made up of chitin, which is a polysaccharide derived from glucose.

Identify the tropical zones and the temperate zones.<br>did I do it right?
Blizzard [7]

Zone 3 is a tropical zone, while zones 2 and 4 are temperate.

Since Zone 3 is around the equator and between the two tropics, it is a tropical zone.

Zone 2 and 4 are temperate since they are farther away from the equator, but not too close to the North and South poles.


I hope this helped! :-)

What are the phases of Mitosis and what happens in each phase?
Norma-Jean [14]
Interphase: Chromosomes duplicate, and the copies remain attached to each other.

Prophase: In the nucleus, chromosomes condense and become visible. Spindle fibers begin to form.

Prometaphase: The nulcear membrane breaks apart, and the spindle starts to interact with the chromosomes.

Metaphase: The copied chromosomes align in the middle of the spindle.

Anaphase: Chromosomes separate into two genetically identical groups and move to opposite ends of the spindle.

Telophase: Nuclear membranes form around each of the two sets of chromosomes, they begin to spread out, and the spindle begins to break down.

Cytokinesis: The two cells split into two daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

This is an incomplete question.

Below should be the complete one with options:

A researcher introduces a signal produced by bacteria to eukaryotic cells that she is culturing in the laboratory. Remarkably, she notices that this signal results in an increase in eukaryotic gene expression. How is this possible?

A.This gene expression is likely independent of the presence of the prokaryotic signal.

B.The signal is either similar in structure to a ligand used by eukaryotes, or this signaling pathway is utilized by both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

C.This signaling pathway might actually be utilized by both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

D.This signal is likely similar in structure to ligands utilized by eukaryotic cells.

E.This prokaryotic signal likely travels directly into eukaryotic cells and acts as a transcription factor.

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS B

B.The signal is either similar in structure to a ligand used by eukaryotes, or this signaling pathway is utilized by both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
