Which is the basic characteristic of all living cells

Answer:

Gel-like fluid present within the cell membrane (excluding nucleus) is termed as cytoplasm of the cell.

It serves various functions in the cell such as:

• It supports and hold all the cell organelles and cell parts.
• It serves as the site of most of the cellular activities or processes.
• It provides shape to the cell.
• It contains the cytoskeleton (actin filaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules) of the cell which helps in maintaining the cell shape, the movement of materials within the cell, cell division and movement of the cell.

Hence, all options are correct except  "determines which substances can enter or leave the cell".

Plasma membrane of the cell determines which substances can enter or leave the cell.

Answer:

The bacterium will be a spherical shape

Explanation:

The responsible for the width of rod-shaped bacteria is the protein called MreB. This protein forms large microfilaments that are very similar to actin filaments found in eukaryotic cells. All the bacteria that are spherical by nature doesn’t have the protein MreB. So, if a rod-shape bacterium that doesn´t have a MreB protein or is altered this bacterium would be spherical-shape.

Light energy is used by the flower to bloom that could allow the flower to remove its pollen for the pollination process. Also the light allows the flower or the plants to make food and that is why they bloom if its is portrayed be the light.

Explanation:

The greater the intensity of light, the more photons or photoelectrons there are and consequently the increase in photocurrent. Thus, the larger the energy, the greater the wattage of the light source.

Premature death refers to the death of an individual at a younger age than would be expected based on average life expectancy. It often implies that the person died before reaching an age where one would consider their death to be a natural result of old age or the normal life course. The exact age at which death is considered "premature" may vary based on the context, but it generally refers to a death that occurs earlier than what is typically anticipated, often due to factors such as disease, accidents, or other external causes.
