Biology

kumpel [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The option c is partly correct.

Explanation:

None of the statements is completely accurate because:

a. Saurischian dinosaurs include theropod and sauropod dinosaurs, and their common ancestors. Ornithischians comprise neornithischians (ornithopods and ceratopsians), thyreophorans (ankylosaurs and stegosaurs) and heterdontosaurids.

b. Capability to fly has only been documented in fossils belonging to Saurischia (where the birds are also classified in). Feathers, on the other hand, do appear in the two clades. Feathers, however, are not a trait exclusively associated to flight.

c. This is a correct comparison between ornithischians and saurischians in the sense that the attributes do belong to these clades, but when comparing animals there most be a comparison that reflects a pattern. Ornithischians have leaf shaped teeth suited to eat plant material, whereas saurischians have teeth for a carnivore and herbivore diet.

d. Sauropods are saurischians and they evolved herbivory from a meat-eater ancestor.

What are the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? Focus on cells from microscopy lab?
pishuonlain [190]

Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus. Eukaryotes can be single-celled or multi-celled, such as you, me, plants, fungi, and insects. Bacteria are an example of prokaryotes. Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelle.

There are several key differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells are found in multicellular plants and animals, whereas prokaryotic cells are found in bacteria and archaea which are ususlly unicellular. I have summarised the key differences below:

Prokayotic cells do not have membrane-bound organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum or mitochondria.

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, instead they have circular DNA that is free in the cytoplasm.

Prokaryotic cells have smaller ribosomes than eukaryotic cells.

Prokaryotic cells have a cell wall. Their cell wall is made from a different material to a plant cell, a glycoprotein called murein.

Prokaryotic cells may also have a protective layer called a capsule, flagellum to aid in movement and one or more plasmids.
