- please 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 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_forwardIf 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_forward
- Briefly describe what will happen in each of the following situations. Assume that sucrose molecules are too big and can NOT cross the pores of cellophane bag. Bag A filled with 20% sucrose suspended in a beaker of water. Bag B filled with 40% sucrose suspended in a beaker of water. Compare the expected rate of change in part (A) with part (B). Bag C filled with water suspended in a beaker of 40% sucrose.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
