Explain why the statement is correct.
Which is true of the ribosomes of endoderm cells of the Cnidaria (jellyfish)?
They: are attached to the Rough Endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and carry out the synthesis of the primary structure of proteins
Formulate a hypothesis on how bacterial cells use their characteristics to take up
hydrocarbons from oil spills. Specify the mode of transport through the cell
membrane (active vs. passive/endocytosis vs. exocytosis) and support your claim with
scientific reasoning.
Describe how these bacterial cells would take up hydrocarbons if:
they only possessed a cell membrane and lacked the cell wall.
they possessed membrane-bound organelles such as vesicles.
Include in your answer the lipid bilayer, structural components of cell membranes
and those of cell walls and discuss the selective permeability characteristic of
membranes.

A jar has 2 amoebas in it. Amoeba splits into two (doubling in size) once every second. The jar will be completely filled in 20 seconds.

- 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.arrow_forwardplease choose correct letter and explain a bit 1. The strongest way by which a protein can maintain its shape is by using:a) ionic bonds b) disulfide bonds c) star war forces d) van der Waals forces 2. If a cell (like an amoeba) would be capable of migrating from one place to another only with movement created from the inside of the cell, then we can say that that movement is done mainly by: a) glycoproteins b) feet c) microtubules d) actin filaments True or False: In eukaryotic cells (such as human cells), the variety and diversity of proteins is much less than the variety and diversity of lipids.arrow_forwardThe cell walls of most members of the phyla Firmicutes and Actinobacteria lack porins. Why is this the case?arrow_forward
- If you put an amoeba (cytoplasm is approximately 90% water; plasma membrane is permeable to water) into a jar of distilled water, in which direction would water move? What problem might this cause for the amoeba?arrow_forwardThe Amoeba, the paramecium, and the euglena ( These are unicellular Protozoans) produce electrical impulses that travel along their cell membrane. This is possible because they are specialized to use properties exhibited by all cells. These properties include ... A) Separation of the fluid environments inside and outside the cell B) Active transport of Na+ out of and K+ into the cell. C) Portal proteins that allow diffusion of Na+ and K+ back in to the cell D) Maintaining unequal Na+ and K+ concentrations on the two sides of the membrane. E) All of these are true Explain whyarrow_forwardGive the specific terms for the following:(a)Cluster of ribosome’s found in cytoplasm(b)Extensive in folding to the inner membrane of mitochondria.(c) Stacks of closely packed thylakoids(d)Stalked particles on the inner membrane of mitochondria.arrow_forward
- In the transition of Chemical Evolution to prokaryotic cells, phospholipids had a critical role. The properties exhibited by phospholipid that were essential to the appearance of life include a) phospholipids have a polar end (charged) and a non-polar (neutral) end b) Spontaneous organization into a bilayer that separation the internal and external water environment, c) the ability to allow neutral "R" groups of a polypeptide to embed into the Fatty Acid layer. d) the use of embedded proteins to regulate the movement of molecules into and out of the cell. e) all of these are true.arrow_forwardConsider a cell membrane. In order to survive, the cell must move nutrients across the membrane and it must move waste products out of the membrane. Describe the strategies available to the cell for the transport of materials. Describe these strategies. Indicate what happens when equilibrium is reached for each strategy.arrow_forwardONE of the following is true about liposomes? O They are derived from a bilayer sheet. O They form because the cross-sectional area of the head group is similar to that of the acyl side chain O They form because the cross-sectional area of the head group is greater than that of the acyl side chain. O They contain a hollow non-aqueous interior cavity. O They are spherical structures with their hydrophilic regions aggregated in the interior cavity.arrow_forward
