5 0

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Desmosomes are composed of desmosome-intermediate filaments complesxes. This is a network of cadherin proteins, keratin intermediate filaments.

This DIFCs can be broken down into three regions, extracellular core regions, inner dense plaque and desmoglea outer dense plaque.

These cells are specialized for cell to cell adhesion and are found usually at the places where there is more mechanical stress.

The Tillite debris from melting glaciers, in Dwyka Tillite are located at the bottom layers of the Karoo Supergroup, which is an indication that millions of years ago, South Africa was under extensive glacier coverage formed during the movement of the continent past the South Pole

The eventual arrival of the continent to temperate regions away from the South Pole resulted in the melting of the glaciers from which a huge swamp was formed.

Savatey [412]

Answer:

In compare to eukaryotes,prokaryotes are morphologically simpler,more evolutionary primitive,less sensitive to physical environment.

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are unicellular organism which don't possess cell organelle like nucleus,mitochondria,Endoplasmic reticulum,golgi body, etc.

They are the first living organism in the primitive earth and the genetic components are located in the cytoplasm which is enclosed by cell membrane.

prokaryotes contain 3 domains that are Archaea, bacteria and eukarya.

The cytoplasm is enclosed by cell membrane.

Molecular studies have reveal that eukaryotes are evolved from prokaryotes.

Some prokaryotes bear long projection which helps them for locomotion,called as flagellum.This is present in gram positive and gram negative bacteria.

Even though plants cells photosynthesize, they still use their mitochondria for oxidation of pyruvate. This will occur in _____.
lidiya [134]

Answer:

All cells all the time.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process of the formation of organic nutrients, glucose in the presence of sunlight by fixing CO2. Cellular respiration is the oxidation of nutrients. The process forms ATP which in turn serve as energy currency for living cells.  

Plant cells perform cellular respiration to obtain the energy stored in the chemical bonds of glucose. The energy obtained by cellular respiration is used to perform the vital functions by cells. Therefore, irrespective of photosynthesis, cellular respiration occurs in all the cells of the plants all the time to fulfill the energy requirement for growth and development.
