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.

What is a microfilament? A. A cytoskeletal element composed of tubulin that forms a dynamic scaffolding for many cellular processes involving movement B. A type of energy-using protein that interacts with cytoskeletal elements to move the cell C. A stable cytoskeletal element composed of fibrous proteins that structurally supports cells and tissues D. A cytoskeletal element made of actin that reinforces cell membranes and functions in cell movement
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.
Draw to scale the outline of two spherical cells, one a bacterium with a diameter of 1 μm, the other an animal cell with a diameter of 15 μm. Calculate the volume, surface area, and surface-to-volume ratio for each cell. how would the latter ratio change if you included the internal membranes of the cell in the calculation of surface area (assume internal membranes have 15 times the area of the plasma membrane)? (the volume of a sphere is given by 4πr3/3 and its surface by 4πr2, where r is its radius.) discuss the following hypothesis: “internal membranes allowed bigger cells to evolve.”
From the image, what is the normal function of the missing structure? A. A lipid bilayer controlling the movement of substances into and out of the cell B. A motor protein that "crawls" along microtubules to contract and release them, which provides movement C. A cytoskeleton element composed of tubulin subunits to provide structure for movement of the cell
While studying a human cell under a microscope, you spot a small, round organelle that seems to have a single membrane. Is it more likely to be a nucleus, ribosome, vesicle, or mitochondrion? What might it contain?
For what reasons would a eukaryotic cell evolve an endoplasmicreticulum and a Golgi apparatus?
Match the following structures with their definitions: (1) Golgi apparatus (2) mitochondria (3) peroxisomes (4) cilia (5) endoplasmic reticulum (6) cytoskeleton (7) vesicles (8) ribosomesA. sacs that contain enzymes that catalyze a variety of specific biochemical reactions B. structures on which protein synthesis occurs C. structures that house the reactions that release energy from nutrients D. a network of microfilaments and microtubules that supports and shapes a cell E. a structure that adds sugars to certain proteins and processes them for secretion F. membrane-bounded sacs G. a network of membranous channels and sacs where lipids and proteins are synthesized H. hairlike structures that extend from certain cell surfaces and wave abou
Why do bacterial cells need cell walls? Do all bacteria have cellwalls?
Based on the knowledge of molecular biology, the reason so many organelles, such as endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, plasma membrane, etc. can exchange material is because they are all topographically equivalent. How does the physical process of vesicle transport ensured that the topographic equivalence of all these organelles is maintained?
