Answer:
The cytoplasm is a jelly like substance that supports and suspends organelles and molecules inside the cell. It also helps move and dissolve materials throughout the cell including waste molecules, proteins, and hormones.
I hope this helps! I tried to keep it short and simple. :)
Answer:
Each organ system performs specific functions for the body, and each organ system is typically studied independently. However, the organ systems also work together to help the body maintain homeostasis.
For example, the cardiovascular, urinary, and lymphatic systems all help the body control water balance. The cardiovascular and lymphatic systems transport fluids throughout the body and help sense both solute and water levels and regulate pressure. If the water level gets too high, the urinary system produces more dilute urine (urine with a higher water content) to help eliminate the excess water. If the water level gets too low, more concentrated urine is produced so that water is conserved. The digestive system also plays a role with variable water absorption. Water can be lost through the integumentary and respiratory systems, but that loss is not directly involved in maintaining body fluids and is usually associated with other homeostatic mechanisms.
Similarly, the cardiovascular, integumentary, respiratory, and muscular systems work together to help the body maintain a stable internal temperature. If body temperature rises, blood vessels in the skin dilate, allowing more blood to flow near the skin’s surface. This allows heat to dissipate through the skin and into the surrounding air. The skin may also produce sweat if the body gets too hot; when the sweat evaporates, it helps to cool the body. Rapid breathing can also help the body eliminate excess heat. Together, these responses to increased body temperature explain why you sweat, pant, and become red in the face when you exercise hard. (Heavy breathing during exercise is also one way the body gets more oxygen to your muscles, and gets rid of the extra carbon dioxide produced by the muscles.)
Answer:
1. Are usually single-celled.
2. Do not contain membrane-bound organelles
3. Have DNA located in cytoplasm
Explanation:
Prokaryotic cells are single-celled organisms which have the following characters:
1. They lack a true nucleus and hence, they do not have their genetic material enclosed in a nuclear membrane-bound nucleus, rather it is present in the cytoplasm.
2. They lack all the membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc.
3. They are usually. very small in size and hence are microscopic.
Examples include all the bacterias.
The term would be leukocytosis and this usually indicates that there is presence of an infection.
