Answer:

1. Nucleoid

2. Plasmid

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are groups of organisms characterized by the lack of a membrane-bound nucleus in their cell. Due to this, the genetic material (DNA) of prokaryotes are found naked i.e. not housed. The DNA of a prokaryote is arranged in a single coiled chromosome located in a region of the cell called NUCLEOID.

However, some prokaryotes e.g. bacteria carry genes on extrachromosomal pieces of circular DNA called PLASMID. Plasmids carry certain genes like antibiotic resistance genes.

Explain how carbon is cycled between the atmosphere and geosphere. Use specific examples.
Over [174]

Answer:

Trees, soil and water act as carbon sinks, which suck up all the carbon from the air and contain it. When carbon is absorbed by the soil, it goes back into the ground.
