The answer to this question would be: by producing buffer

The pH of optimal growth of bacteria might be different. Some bacteria can grow in an acid condition called acidophile, other live in base condition called alkaliphiles and the rest live in neutral pH condition called neutrophiles. The bacteria can maintain their internal pH by producing acid, base or buffer. If the surrounding pH is too acid, the bacteria can reduce the H+ concentration by producing base. If the condition is too alkali/base, the bacteria can produce acid by doing fermentation.

Semi-permeability means that only certain molecules are allowed to pass through.

Which of the following attributes is common to both prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells?
yarga [219]

Answer:

b. the use of DNA as the information storage molecule

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells are the ones that lack the membrane-bound organelles and well-defined nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have the nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Most of the prokaryotic cells are smaller in size as compared to eukaryotic cells. Despite these differences, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have DNA as their genetic material. DNA serves to store genetic information in both types of cells.
