Why do prokaryotes not have cell specialization

Biology

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.

Is the activation of receptors in the various sense organs?
GaryK [48]

Answer;

-Sensation

Sensation is the activation of receptors in the various sense organs

Explanation;

-Sensation is the activation of sensory receptor cells at the level of the stimulus. Perception is the central processing of sensory stimuli into a meaningful pattern. Perception is dependent on sensation, but not all sensations are perceived.

-Receptors are the cells or structures that detect sensations. A receptor cell is changed directly by a stimulus. A transmembrane protein receptor is a protein in the cell membrane that mediates a physiological change in a neuron, most often through the opening of ion channels or changes in the cell signaling processes.

Adherens junctions ______________________. (a) can be used to bend epithelial sheets into tubes. (b) are most often found at the
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

(a) can be used to bend epithelial sheets into tubes.

Explanation:

The adherens junctions are cell-cell adhesions localized in places exposed to abrasion or mechanical stress, close to the apical membrane in epithelial cells is one of these locations. Some of their functions are the initiation and stabilization of cell-cell adhesion, <em>they join the actin cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane to form adhesive contacts between cells that contribute to the folding and bending of epithelial sheets,</em> therefore they can mediate adhesion and signaling.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
