Question

use the diagrams to answer each question. interpreting diagrams 35. the diagram above shows an area with no surrounding membrane in the center of the cell. this area contains a single large dna molecule. would scientists classify this cell as a prokaryote or a eukaryote? explain. 36. identify the structures labeled a, b, and c.

Explanation:

Prokaryotes lack a membrane - bound nucleus. The cell in the diagram has DNA in an area without a surrounding membrane, which is characteristic of prokaryotes. For question 36, typical prokaryotic cell structures include cell wall, cell membrane, and flagellum. Usually, A could be the cell wall (provides structure and protection), B could be the cell membrane (regulates what enters and leaves the cell), and C could be the flagellum (used for movement).

Answer:

1. Prokaryote. Prokaryotes have DNA in a non - membrane - bound area.
2. A: Cell wall; B: Cell membrane; C: Flagellum
