Prokaryotes- lack a cell nucleus, unicellular, in the bacteria and archaea domain, lack mitochondria and chloroplast, microscopic
eukaryotes- contains a cell nucleus, multicellular, only in the eukarya domain, contains mitochondria and chloroplast, not microscopic
Answer:
leaves more viable offspring than others of its species
Explanation:
Greater fitness is being conferred on an individual organism compared to the other individual member of a species population if that individual does not only just competes favorably for the limited resources available than the rest individuals, but is in fact able to reproduce more rapidly and thereby pass on such favorable traits, which makes them better competitors, to as many of their offspring as possible. Over time, you will find most of the offspring they leave behind more common in the population than the other.
If an individual organism is referred to as having a greater fitness compared to another individual of the same species, what it simply means is that the organism <em>leaves more viable offspring than others of its species</em>.
Answer:
These structures that protect the sponges from most predators, but not turtles, are spicules.
Explanation:
Sponges <em>skeleton</em> is composed of <em>calcium carbonate and siliceous</em> micro-structures called <u>spicules</u>. Their morphology is so varied that it is used in taxonomy for identification and classification.
There are different kinds of spicules:
- <em>Monoaxonic spicule</em>: needle-shaped, straights or curves
- <em>Tetraxonic spicules:</em> they have four prolongations
- <em>Triaxonic or Hexaxonic spicules</em>
- <em>Poliaxonic spicules </em>
Two terms can be applied to any of these spicules kinds:
- <em>Megaspicules</em>: They are elongated and compose the main architecture of the sponge skeleton
- <em>Microspicules</em>: Variable in shape and size, with ancillary functions
Sponges have few predators thank to the spicule structures and their high toxicity. Many of them are capable of perforating soft tissues and producing urticant substances.
Answer:
The anterior lobe makes up about 80% of the pituitary gland. It regulates growth, metabolism, and reproduction through the hormones that it produces.
Explanation:
The production of these hormones is either stimulated or inhibited by chemical messages sent from the hypothalamus to the pituitary.
