Correct! 30 50 68 92 Question 26 3 / 5 pts (Short response) Explain the common similarity in all prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Give abrief explanation of the similarity. Your Answer: The common similarity between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are they both contain cells, acell membrane and ribosomes.
The fundamental similarity is that each cell type has a plasma membrane that separates life from non-life. The plasma membrane acts as a barrier to most molecules but does have proteins that permit select molecules to cross via proteins (transporters). The plasmamembrane permits the cell to have a different composition of molecules inside the cell than out and defines a space for life to occur. Develop the membrane response further, based on module material. Question 27 2.5 / 5 pts(Short response) Would scientists be more likely to find an element such as O in a biomolecule, or W? Explain which she would more likely find in biological molecule and give specific physical/chemical properties.Your Answer:
Scientists would be more likely to find an element of O in a biomolecule because O is a bulkelement while W is a trace element. O is found is most strcutures and functional groups.
She would more likely find O. Smaller elements are preferred. In the case of O, it is found in water, so it would be highly concentrated. Smaller elements with smaller atomic shellsare favored because they can form stable covalent bonds. Strong bonds form by significant overlap of atoms, such as carbon and hydrogen permitting them to share electrons. The bond that forms requires a substantial amount of energy to break, which allows the bondsto withstand insults, such as mechanical and thermal stresses. This bond strength is good news for living organisms. Stable bonds allow cells to form, hair to grow, and skin toprotect against abrasion.
Larger elements, such as W, tend to form ionic compounds–not covalent. Describe why O is using the size/overlap. Question 28 3.5 / 5 pts(Short response) What element is the basis for life? Describe at least two properties of this element that permit it to serve the basis for life.Your Answer:
Carbon is the element that is the basis for life. Carbon has the ability to form stable covalent bonds and unique combinations. Carbon has its own branch organic chemistry.
1. Carbon can form strong covalent bonds with a variety of different elements. 2. Besides, carbon can form double and triple bonds with other carbon atoms and other elements (N and o). 3. Carbon can form long chains by forming numerous carbon-carbon bonds; we
call these large molecules polymer. 4. Lastly, carbon can form cyclic structures, which are also called ring compounds. Give one more property of carbon. Question 29 (^4) (Short response) How does organic chemistry differ from inorganic chemistry? / 5 pts Your Answer: Organic chemistry is focues on the chemical and physical properties of carbon and inorganic chemistry focues on non organic compounds. Organic chemistry is the study of the carbon-based compounds. Inorganic chemistry is the study of all other elements, but carbon. There is no need to have separate sub-disciples fororganic and inorganic chemistry, but for historical and organizational reasons the difference exists. Include the non-carbon elements in your defintion of inorganic. Question 30 0 / 5 pts (Short response) Biochemists study the communication within and among organisms. According to the module, what are two other aspects of living organisms that biochemists study? Your Answer: Bichemists study carbs and proteins in living organism along with chemistry and biology. Also luciferin i studies and luciferase. In the module, biochemists also study the structure and function of biomolecules and the chemical reactions of organisms. Be more specific here. This is related to the homework problems and module material.
