Question
The pre-cell (before the appearance of life) formed during Chemical Evolution has an outer membrane that is a phospholipid bilayer. Given the properties of the water in the prebiotic ocean. One would expect that H2O and ions would:
A) move through the fatty acid layer of the phospholipid bilayer out of the pre-cell,
B) be unable to move through the bilayer,
C) move through the phosphate groups in the pre cell phospholipid bilayer and move into cell,
D) dissolve the bilayer,
E) transport proteins into the pre cell.

- A cell is moved from its normal environment in a freshwater river and is suddenly placed into the ocean. What would be the effect of this change in environment on the cell? O 1) It would shrivel because it would lose water. O 2) It would shrivel because it is responding to a hypotonic environment. O 3) It would swell because it is experiencing a hypertonic environment. O 4) It would swell because it would gain water. O 5) Nothing would happen to the cell.arrow_forwardelow are three statements - two of which are truths and one is a lie. Which of the following statements is a lie? Select one: a. Flagella and cilia are the same in terms of their structures. b. Flagella and cilia can be commonly found in prokaryotic, animal, and plant cells. c. In addition to motility, cilia can also play a role in moving particles on the surface of cells and for filtration.

This part of the ocean is so deep, no sunlight reaches it at all. The organism they found was too small to see with the eye, and was only discovered after looking through a microscope at samples from this volcanic vent. The oceanographer noticed that the cells of the organism all looked identical and were arranged in long chains. No organelles were visible.

- The process of endocytosis involves the formation of vesicles called endosomes. Which of the following best describes the pH of the endosomal interior? a.) The interior of an endosome generally has a higher pH than cytoplasm. b.) The interior of an endosome generally had a lower pH than cytoplasm. c.) The interior of an endosome generally had a pH similar to cytoplasm.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are TRUE about eukaryotes?(i) They are cells with a nucleus.(ii) They are found both in humans and multicellular organisms.(iii) Endoplasmic reticulum is present in eukaryotes.(iv) They all have chemically complexed cell wall.

(i), (iii) and (iv)arrow_forwardWhile eukaryotic cells are generally larger than prokaryotic cells, metabolic requirements place upper limits on how large eukaryotic cells can become. Which of the following statements does not accurately describe this? As multicellular organisms grow in size, they do not have larger cells; rather, they have a larger number of cells. As a cell increases in size, the surface area grows faster than volume. If a cell is too large, there will not be enough surface area for the exchange or elimination of oxygen, nutrients, and wastes. The surface area to volume ratio must remain as large as possiblearrow_forward
