Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Life is divided into three domains known as Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. Bacteria and Archaea are present the prokaryotes, which translates to the simplest and most ancient forms of life, whose cells lack a nucleus. The kingdom Eukarya belongs to eukaryotes.

Answer to Problem 1MCQ

Correct answer:

One property that distinguishes cells in domain Bacteria from those in domain Eukarya is the presence of membranous organelles. Hence, the correct answer is option d.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct answer:

Option d. is given as,“membranous organelles.”

The members domain bacteria do not contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, or chloroplast. On the contrary, the domain Eukarya is characterized by the presence of nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. This property distinguishes bacteria from eukaryotes. Hence, option d. is correct.

Reason for incorrect answer:

Option a. is given as, “a cell wall.”

The cell wall is present in both the domains of Bacteria and Eukarya. Bacterial cell wall is made up of peptidoglycan and helps in maintaining the shape of the cell. Cell wall is absent in animal cells. Cell wall in eukaryotes such as fungi is made up of chitin that provides structural support and protection to the cell. Hence, option a. is incorrect.

Option b. is given as, “DNA.”

DNA is present in both Bacteria and Eukarya. Bacterial DNA is present in the form of nucleoid. Eukaryotic cells have mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA which functions as the source of genetic information. Hence, option b. is incorrect.

Option c. is given as, “flagella.”

Flagella aids in the movement of cells, and it is present in the domains of Bacteria and Eukarya. Hence, option c. is incorrect.

Hence, the options a., b., and c. are incorrect.

Conclusion

The presence of membranous organelles distinguishes the members of domain Bacteria from the members of domain Eukarya. Thus, the correct answer is option d.

Older adults have unique challenges in terms of their nutrient needs and physiological changes. Some changes may make it difficult to consume a healthful diet, so it is important to identify strategies to help overcome these obstacles. From the list below, choose all the correct statements about changes in older adults. Select all that apply.   Poor vision can make it difficult for older adults to get to a supermarket, and to prepare meals. With age, taste and visual perception decline. As people age, salivary production increases. In older adults with dysphagia, foods like creamy soups, applesauce, and yogurt are usually well tolerated. Lean body mass increases in older adults.
When physical activity increases, energy requirements increase also. Depending on the type, intensity, and duration of physical activity, the body’s requirements for certain macronutrients may change as well. From the list below, choose all the correct statements about the effects of increased physical activity or athletic training. Select all that apply. An athlete who weighs 70 kg (154 lb) should consume 420 to 700 g of carbohydrate per day. How much additional energy an athlete needs depends on the specific activity the athlete engages in and the frequency of the activity. Those participating in vigorous exercise should restrict their fat intake to less than 15%% of total energy intake. Athletes who are following energy-restricted diets are at risk for consuming insufficient protein. The recommendation to limit saturated fat intake to less than 10%% of total energy intake does not apply to athletes or those who regularly engage in vigorous physical activity.
When taking vitamins and vitamin-mineral supplements, how can one be sure they are getting what they are taking?
