Endomembrane system -- not in prokaryotes
cytoskeleton -- a structural part of cytoplasm sometimes occurrent in prokaryotes
mitochondria -- not in prokaryotes 
nucleus -- if this is a "membrane-bound" nucleus, then definitely not in prokaryotes
cytoplasm -- this is the fluid that houses everything in the cell membrane
flagella -- little "tail" for locomotion, so no
cilia -- similar to flagella, little feelers usually for locomotion 
ribosomes -- these make protein using amino acids
chloroplasts -- not in prokaryotes
membrane -- just a casing surrounding a cell or organelle
organelles -- general word for the parts of a cell that perform various functions
cell membrane -- just the casing for the cell, not where genetic material's located

Can you identify the ploidy of different structures? drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to comple
Leni [432]

Answer:

1. The gametophyte generation is haploid.

2. The embryo is diploid.

3. The megaspore is haploid.

4. The sporophyte generation is diploid.

Explanation:

1. Gametophyte- The gametophytic generation is the structure which produces gametes in the plant. Since the gametes are haploid, therefore, the gametophyte us considered the haploid.

2. Embryo- The embryo is formed after the fusion of fertilization when zygote develops, therefore, is considered diploid.

3. Megaspore- the big size spore which is formed from by the meiotic division of the megasporocyte, therefore, is considered haploid.

4. Sporophyte- the sporophyte generation develops from the embryo which is diploid therefore is considered diploid.

What accounts for the differences in the properties of the various polysaccharides?
irakobra [83]

Polysaccharides are present in all living organisms where they carry out one or more of their diverse functions. While there is no specific category or definition of a complex polysaccharide, most are structurally complex. Polysaccharides contain 1–5 different monosaccharide (sugar) units. The different sugar units may have different anomeric configurations and/or be joined by different glycosidic linkages. Polysaccharides may be linear or branched. Branches may be short saccharide units on a linear backbone or the molecule may have a branch-on-branch structure; in either case, the branches may be isolated or clustered. Polysaccharides may contain non‐carbohydrate groups. Esters or cyclic acetal groups, when present, can be removed by appropriate treatments. All polysaccharides are polydisperse, i. e., are present in a range of molecular weights rather than having a single molecular weight

The finger like projections of the small intestines are called?
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The finger like projections of the small intestines are called villi.

Explanation:

The structure of villi is just like human finger. Villi increases the surface area of small intestine which increases the absorption. Villi is a part of small intestine which is responsible for the absorption of nutrients that are present in the food particles. These nutrients are again combined with the blood and used by the body. Villi do not helps in the digestion of food substances, they can only absorb.
