Hansa Sharma answered |
- Prokaryotes and eukaryotes are the two different types of cells.
- Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria while prokaryotic cells do not but the ribosome is the only organelle that can be seen in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
- Prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes perform the same functions that is protein synthesis, however, eukaryotic ribosomes are much larger than prokaryotic ones.

The glycocalyx is a thick outer covering of the plasma membrane. It is composed of strands of sugars and proteins bound together. The result is a thick, sticky layer that helps cells stay put in environments with lots of physical stress.

Prasenjit Chavan answered |
Explanation:
• Prokaryotic cells, which are found in bacteria and archaea, lack the membrane-bound organelles that are present in eukaryotic cells. These organelles include the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes.
• The cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells does not show a streaming movement, which is a characteristic of eukaryotic cells. In eukaryotic cells, the cytoplasmic streaming is driven by motor proteins that move along actin filaments and microtubules.
• The absence of membrane-bound organelles in prokaryotic cells is related to their small size and simpler structure. They are able to carry out all their necessary functions within the cytoplasm without the need for specialized compartments.
• The lack of cytoplasmic streaming in prokaryotic cells is also related to their small size, as diffusion is sufficient for most of their metabolic processes.

Reason (R): The cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells does not show a streaming movement.

The process of movement of few ions or molecules across the membrane against a concentration gradient from lower to higher concentration, it is called
a) Diffusionb)Passive transportc)Active transportd) OsmosisCorrect answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?
|
Vijay Bansal answered |
Passive transport, also known as passive diffusion, is a process by which an ion or molecule passes through a cell wall via a concentration gradient, or from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. It’s like moving from the train to the platform of a subway station, or stepping out of a crowded room. Basically, passive transport gives an ion or molecule “room to breathe.”

Rohit Shah answered |
Nostoc, genus of blue-green algae with cells arranged in beadlike chains that are grouped together in a gelatinous mass. Ranging from microscopic to walnut-sized, masses of Nostoc may be found on soil and floating in quiet water. Reproduction is by fragmentation. A special thick-walled cell (akinete) has the ability to withstand desiccation for long periods of time. After 70 years of dry storage, the akinete of one species germinates into a filament when moistened. Like most blue-green algae, Nostoc contains two pigments, blue phycocyanin and red phycoerythrin, as well as chlorophyll, and has the ability to fix nitrogen in specialized cells called heterocysts. A terrestrial species has been used as a supplementary food source in Asia.

Rajesh Gupta answered |
The chlorophyll pigment is readily soluble in acetone. Chlorophylls possess a phytyl chain which is bound to a porphyrin ring system. The possession of the phytyl side chain, which is esterified to the carboxyl group of the ring, gives the chlorophylls their lipid character. Moreover, chlorophylls are fat-soluble compounds that can be extracted from water-containing living plant tissue by organic solvents such as acetone, methanol, or ethanol, which can take up water.

Vijay Bansal answered |
Prokaryotes lack an organized nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotic DNA is found in a central part of the cell called the nucleoid. The cell wall of a prokaryote acts as an extra layer of protection, helps maintain cell shape, and prevents dehydration.prokaryotic cells are those that do not have a membrane-bound nucleus. In fact "pro-karyotic" is Greek for "before nucleus". Besides bacteria, the cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are a major group of prokaryotes.

Anjali Iyer answered |
Correct option is A)
- Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus whereas prokaryotic cells have a primitive nucleus.
- The true nucleus of eukaryotes is a double membrane-covered protoplasmic body that contains hereditary information.
- A true nucleus is made up of five parts- nuclear envelope, nucleoplasm, nuclear matrix, chromatin, and nucleolus.
- The primitive nucleus of a prokaryote is also called as nucleoid as it lacks these parts. It is comprised of only the genetic material. So, option A is correct.

Nandini Patel answered |
Protoplasm is the living content of a cell that is surrounded by a plasma membrane. It is a general term for the cytoplasm. Protoplasm is composed of a mixture of small molecules such as ions, amino acids, monosaccharides and water, and macromolecules such as nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and polysaccharides.Similar to the cytoplasm of a cell, the nucleus contains 'nucleoplasm' (nucleus sap) or karyoplasm. The nucleoplasm is one of the types of protoplasm, and it is enveloped by the nuclear membrane or nuclear envelope. The nucleoplasm includes the chromosomes and nucleoli.

Hitakshi Tamta G answered |
Lysosomes are spherical bodies, or vacuoles that are enclosed by a single membrane (membrane- bound organelles). It contains different hydrolytic enzymes, such as proteases, lipases, and nucleases that are capable of breaking down all types of biological polymers (e.g., proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids) that enter the cell or are no longer useful to the cell. So, the correct answer is 'Lysosome'.

Carbohydrates are organic compounds synthesized in the chlorophyll containing cells of some bacteria,-algae and green plant cells, during photosynthesis. Certain photoautotrophic bacteria eg. Green sulphur bacteria and purple sulphur bacteria contain pigments like chlorobium chlorophyll and bacteriochlorophyll respectively that helps them in photosynthesis. During photosynthesis carbon dioxide is reduced into carbohydrates by water and oxygen is liberated.

In eukaryotes , there is a set of positively charged , basic proteins called history. Histones are organized to form a unit of eight molecules called Histones octamer. The negativity charged, DNA is wrapped around the positively charged histone octamer to form a structure called nucleosome . Nucleosome constitute the repeating unit of a structure in nucleus called chromatin.

Gaurav Kumar answered |
In mitochondria, the inner membrane space is filled with a matrix which contains dense granules along with ribosomes and mitochondrial DNA. The mitochondrial DNA is circular in nature. There number varies from 2-6. Besides DNA, a mitochondrion has RNA and its ribosomes also. Thus, a complete protein synthesizing machinery is present in mitochondria, which suggests the semi-autonomous nature of mitochondria. Dictyosome, lysosome and peroxisome do not have their own DNA.

Om Desai answered |
Mitochondria are eukaryotic cell organelles. Mitochondria synthesize ATP through the process of aerobic respiration. Hence, mitochondria are called powerhouse of the cell. Carbohydrates are the most common fuel used to derive energy in aerobic respiration. When carbohydrates are in short supply, fats and proteins can also be used in aerobic respiration as reduced substrates. Thus, the correct answer is option D.

The inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) is the mitochondrial membrane which separates the mitochondrial matrix from the intermembrane space.The structure of the inner mitochondrial membrane is extensively folded and compartmentalized. The numerous invaginations of the membrane are called cristae, separated by crista junctions from the inner boundary membrane juxtaposed to the outer membrane. Cristae significantly increases the total membrane surface area compared to a smooth inner membrane and thereby the available working space.
The inner membrane creates two compartments. The region between the inner and outer membrane, called the inter membrane space which is largely continuous with the cytosol, and the more sequestered space inside the inner membrane, called matrix.

Ideogram is a photograph or diagram of metaphases chromosomes of an organism arranged in homologous pair according to their length, thickness and position of centromere, length of arm, shape and other characteristics. The sex chromosomes are usually placed at the end.

Totipotency is defined in Wikipedia as the ability of a single cell to divide and produce all the differentiated cells in an organism, including extraembryonic tissues. Totipotent cells formed during sexual and asexual reproduction include spores and zygotes.
