The right answer is A. Hardness.

The hardness of a material defines the resistance of a surface of the sample to the penetration of a punch, for example a hardened steel ball (Brinell hardness) or a diamond pyramid (Vickers hardness). If it resists well, it is said hard, otherwise it is soft. The hardness is measured on different scales depending on the type of material considered.

Unlike minerals whose hardness is characterized by scratching (Mohs scale), bounce or penetration tests are usually used to characterize the hardness of metals, plastics and elastomers. These tests have the advantage of being simpler to perform and give reproducible results. There is a wide variety of possible hardness tests, they are widely used in quality control to compare or estimate the strength or stiffness of materials.

What is the correct order for the hierarchy of biological organization from the least to the most complex? (concept 1.1)?
hjlf

Answer;

Molecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem.

Explanation;

-The biological levels of organization of living things arranged from the simplest to most complex are: organelle, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystem, and biosphere.

-Organisms are highly organized, coordinated structures that consist of one or more cells. Even very simple, single-celled organisms are remarkably complex: inside each cell, atoms make up molecules; these in turn make up cell organelles and other cellular inclusions.

-In multicellular organisms, similar cells form tissues. Tissues, in turn, collaborate to create organs (body structures with a distinct function). Organs work together to form organ systems.

How are the structures in prokaryotic cells different from the organelles that carry out similar functions in eukaryotic cells?
Fofino [41]

Prokaryotic cells do not have membrane bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells do have membrane bound organelles. The membrane controls movement in and out of the cell. ... The cytoplasm fills the space between the nucleus and the cell membrane.
