All cells have a protective covering known as cell membrane. In plants, the cell membrane is further protected by another layer called cell wall. All the organelles present inside the cells are membrane bounded structure.
Cell membranes are made up of phospholipid bilayer with extrinsic and intrinsic proteins. From the studies on the plasma membrane structure, it was found that the protein fingerprint of MITOCHONDRIA and CHLOROPLAST are most similar to the cell membrane.
Answer:
C. Genetic material composed of nucleic acid
Explanation:
The information needed by every organism to perform life functions like reproduction, growth etc are held in the genetic material that the organism carries in its genome. Every genetic material of organisms is composed of nucleic acids, which are only two in nature i.e. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) and Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This is a common feature of all organisms including bacteria and viruses that they contain genetic material which must be in form of a nucleic acid.
The viruses do not undergo a cell division, neither do they contain protein synthesis structures called Ribosomes because they do not have the ability to reproduce or perform any living process outside a living host cell. This means that they strictly depend on another organism's transcriptional, translational, replicational ability to survive.
