1. which of the following structures is not found in prokaryotic cells?

a. ribosome
b. nucleus
c. cytoplasm
d. cell membrane

1. how does the structure of the phospholipid bilayer contribute to its function?

a. the hydrophilic tails face inward, creating a barrier to most water - soluble substances.
b. the hydrophobic heads face outward, allowing the passage of water - soluble molecules.
c. the hydrophobic tails face inward, isolating the interior of the membrane from water - soluble substances.
d. the hydrophilic heads face inward, trapping water inside the membrane.

Explanation:

1. In cellular respiration, carbon - dioxide is produced during the Citric Acid Cycle. Glycolysis produces pyruvate, the electron - transport chain is mainly for generating ATP using electron carriers, and fermentation is an anaerobic process that does not produce carbon dioxide in the context of aerobic cellular respiration steps compared here.
2. Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. Protein synthesis occurs in ribosomes, DNA replication mainly in the nucleus (though mitochondria have their own DNA and can replicate it, but it's not the main process occurring there), and lipid processing occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum and other organelles.
3. Independent assortment in meiosis increases genetic variation by randomly distributing chromosomes to gametes. It does not prevent genetic diversity, chromosomes are not made identical by it, and it is not about producing diploid cells from haploid cells.
4. Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron - transport chain of cellular respiration. It does not inhibit the electron - transport chain, does not convert glucose to ATP directly, and does not break down glucose in the cytoplasm (glycolysis does that).
5. The primary function of organelles in eukaryotic cells is to perform specialized tasks within the cell. Controlling the movement of substances in and out is mainly the function of the cell membrane, storing the cell's genetic information is for the nucleus, and providing structural support is for the cytoskeleton.
6. Mitochondria are membrane - bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells lack membrane - bound organelles like mitochondria. Ribosomes are non - membrane - bound and are present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, cytoplasm is the gel - like substance in both types of cells, and cell membranes are present in all cells.
