Archae represent a kingdom of bacteria which live in extreme environments. Archae bacteria are prokaryotic cells, meaning they do not have a membrane bound nucleus nor membrane bound organelles. Prokaryotes have ribosomes and circular DNA. They may have smaller rings of DNA called plasmids. Protists represent a eukaryotic kingdom. Eukaryotic cells have a membrane bound nucleus and membrane bound organelles. The DNA is not free floating, it is enclosed in the nucleus and arranged in chromosomes. Archae cells are much smaller than protist cells. Protist cells can be found as unicellular organisms,, living in colonies or multicellular. Archea are unicellular and may b e in clumps or chains.

Which characteristic distinguishes fungal cells from plant cells

sertanlavr [38]

Answer: Feeding behaviors, trophic levels, cell wall composition, and their organelles distinguish fungi from plants.

Explanation:

While plants and fungi are both eukaryotes, they differ in terms of feeding behaviors, trophic levels, cell wall composition, and their organelles.

Cell walls: both are non-chain polysaccharides (sugars) that function as structural support; yet fungal cell walls are composed of chitin while plant cell walls are made up of cellulose

Feeding: fungi secrete compounds that digest their food sources before they can take in nutrients and they store food as glycogen; while plants do not require a means of pre-digesting food and store their food as starch.

Organelles: plant cells contain chloroplasts, small green structures with chlorophyll that causes their characteristic coloration. Unlike plants, fungi do not photosynthesize to make their own food or contain chloroplasts.

Trophic level: are strictly heterotrophs or decomposers, depending on other organisms for survival. Their chloroplasts enable them to carry out photosynthesis, thus they are autotrophs or producers.

damaskus [11]

Answer:

CGC AUA CCG - RNA

CGC ATA CCG - DNA

Explanation:

Uracyl (U) is present in RNA instead of Thymine (T)

Also opposite RNA/DNA molecules pair with each other.

Adenine pairs with Uracyl (RNA)/Thymine (DNA)

Cytosine pairs with Guanine (both RNA & DNA)
