-Surface area to volume ratio. (surface area / volume)
-Nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio.
-Fragility of cell membrane.
-Mechanical structures necessary to hold the cell together (and the contents of the cell in place)
One structure that can be found is most plant cells is chloroplast. A plant cell may have around 0 to 20 chloroplast, depending on their location in plant or their function.
Chloroplast is the structure that photosynthesis occurs. Photosynthesis is the method that plant make food for themselves. They turn sunlight into food such as starch.
Plants are autotrophs, which means they make food themselves, they don't need food from other sources like animals. Therefore, chloroplast is not found in animal cells because we are heterotrophs, we feed on other food.
The correct answer is none of the above.
Bacterial cells can transfer genetic material through a process called bacterial conjugation. This process involves the direct physical contact of the bacterial cells and a horizontal gene transfer. The genes which are transferred are most of the times beneficial for the recipient, such as genes for antibiotic resistance.
In this example, bacterial cells cannot have physical contact, since they are separated by a glass filter. Therefore, the bacterial conjugation cannot happen. Given that no gene transfer can be achieved, the AY strain remains bio- trp- and is unable to grow on any medium that lacks bio or/and trp.
Because they are prokaryotic cells.
