Answer:

The given equation not following the law of conservation of mass.

Explanation:

H₂ + O₂ → H₂ O

The number of oxygen atoms on both side of equation are not equal thus mass is not conserved and this equation not follow the this law.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by French chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂ O

there are two oxygen atoms and four hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

Answer:

C. ribosomes

Explanation:

Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain certain structures called ORGANELLES. They possess some in common and others are not found in one or the other. According to this question, a small, free-floating organelle made from nucleic acid and amino acid is found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. This organelle is RIBOSOMES.

Ribosomes are organelles responsible for the synthesis of protein in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. They can be found free-floating or attached to endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes are predominantly made of RNA (nucleic acid) and proteins i.e. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins is their structural constituent. Hence, the organelle in this question is RIBOSOME.
