Answer:

Glycoproteins are found on the surface of the lipid bilayer of cell membranes. Their hydrophilic nature allows them to function in the aqueous environment, where they act in cell-cell recognition and binding of other molecules.

Explanation:

The operational definition is the description of a specific process, or set of validation tests, accessible to more persons than the definer (i.e., said to be publicly accessible), where it can be repeatedly measured or tested

Operational definitions are also used to define system states or (nonspecific) physical objects by the description of a specific process of preparation which can be repeated

For example in the given example experimenter is using the case of hitting a punching bag to measure the level of aggression in someone

Part b - comparing eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells two fundamental types of cells are known to exist in nature: prokaryotic cel

Alexeev081 [22]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

Prokaryotic only: nucleoid
Eukaryotic only: nucleolus, lysosome, mitochondria
Both: plasma membrane, ribosomes, flagelia

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Prokaryotic cells are those cells that lack nucleus and other membrane bound organelles, unlike eukaryotic cells which contain a membrane bound nucleus and membrane bound organelles such as mitochondria, and lysosomes.
Prokaryotic cells lack the nucleus and nucleolus, but instead contain a nucleoid which contains the genetic materials of the cell.
Eukaryotic cells on the other hand contain a well defined nucleus, that contains nucleolus and highly complex genetic material.
Despite the differences, they both share a number of organelles and characteristics such as plasma membrane, which regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cells, ribosomes, sites for protein synthesis, and also flagella, for locomotion.
