Why do prokaryotes not have cell specialization

Biology
2 answers:
solniwko [45]3 years ago

Prokaryotes are defined by their lack of membrane bound organelles, so the reason prokaryotes don’t have them is that any cell that does have membrane-bound organelles would, by definition, not be called a prokaryote, because that is what humans have arbitrarily defined a prokaryote to be.

A more interesting question might be why cells with membrane-bound organelles evolved on earth, as far as we know, only once, among the eukaryotes, and why no other group among either the bacteria or the archaea, the two great prokaryotic groups who together make up over 2/3 of all life on earth, ever evolved membrane bound organelles.

That question takes us all the way back to the origin of eukaryotes themselves in an endosymbiotic merger between a bacteria and an archaean, and is a topic that would fill multiple books.

A very simplified answer is that, in order to support membrane-bound organelles a cell requires an active cytoskeleton and an internal membrane system, and supporting those two features requires a lot if energy, which eukaryotic cells produce using multiple mitochondria. Prokaryotic cells lack mitochondria and cannot produce energy at a fast enough rate to support such “expensive” adaptions.

Answer:

Prokaryotes may be defined as the organism that lacks the well defined nucleus. The ribosomes size of the prokaryotic cell is 70'S with the 50'S and 30'S large and small subunit.

Cell specialization requires atleast the present of the multiple cells whereas the prokaryotes are unicellular organism and has simple body organization. The cell specialization also requires the membrane bound cell organelle which is absent in prokaryotic cells.

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is :

Independent Variable:  side of the shower with lemon juice

Dependent Variable:  cleanliness of shower

Control:  spray of water

Conclusion: lemonade juice have no effect on slime

Explanation:

Independent variable in any experiment is the variable that is changed or manipulated as here side of the shower that is sprayed with lemonade juice is manipulated to see if there is any effect on the cleanliness of shower.

Dependent variable is the variable that is observed or measured to check if manipulated variable or independent variable have any effect on it, like the cleanliness is measured to check if lemonade juice clean the slime of the side or not.

The control is something that remains the same to check the condition or effect that is not changed or can be compared to it. Water spray is control in this case.

The conclusion of this experiment is that there is no effect of lemonade juice on the cleanliness of slime present in the shower

deff fn [24]

Answer:

a. The allele for round seeds is dominant to the allele for wrinkled seeds.

Explanation:

Mendel found that when two pure breeding plants that differ from each other with respect to one genetic trait are crossed, all the progeny express the phenotype of one parent. The phenotype of the other parent is not expressed in the progeny. He concluded that the genetic trait that is expressed in the F1 generation is dominant over the other which is masked in this generation.

A cross between pure breeding plants for round seeds and the wrinkled seeds obtained all the round seeded progeny. This meant that the phenotype "round" was dominant over the phenotype "wrinkled". If the allele "R" gave round phenotype and the allele "r" imparted wrinkled phenotype, the allele "R" was dominant to the "r".

Why do areas of lower pressure usually experience stormy weather
alina1380 [7]
The air begins to rise into the atmosphere. When air rises, it cools down and condenses into precipitation and clouds. This is why an approaching low pressure system means an increased chance for clouds, rain, or snow. It is called "low pressure" because as air rises, the air pressure is lower at the surface.
