- A popular theme in science fiction literature has been the idea of silicon-based life-forms in contrast to our carbon-based life. Evaluate the possibility of silicon-based life based on the chemical structure and potential for chemical bonding of a silicon atom.arrow_forwardLiving beings are made of organic and inorganic substances. According to the complexity of their molecules how can each of those substances be classified?arrow_forwardSome scientists propose that Silicon might be a suitable alternative to Carbon as the basicatom that forms the “backbone of life”. Why is this?arrow_forward
- The percentage of naturally occurring elements making up the human body (Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen make up 96% of living matter. Most of the remaining 4% consists of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and sulfurntages of these elements found in other organisms) are similar to the percentages of these elements found in other organisms. How could you account for this similarity among organisms?arrow_forwardThe following are the six most common elements in the human body: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Each of these elements is heavier than hydrogen and helium. Explain how and where these elements formed.arrow_forwardLife, at least in the form found on Earth, is based around one element om particular: Carbon. Pretty much all biomolecules that keep us alive are based on carbon. Why is carbon so important in living systems? Be as specific as you can!arrow_forward
- Organic molecules were originally named so, because they were thought to only be produced by living creatures. Are there ways organic molecules be made by outside of living creatures? If so, what are they?arrow_forwardCritically comment on the following statement: Cadmium does not show molecular homology with other essential metals in the human body but plays a key role in disrupting important neurological processes. Over a lifetime, this heavy metal accumulates in the brain leading to symptoms of Parkinsonism.arrow_forwardCarbon makes up 18.5% of the human body, but the top of the carbon section in the stacked column of the infographic lines up with about 35% on the y‑axis. What accounts for the difference?arrow_forward
- Which is true for DNA, RNA and Polypeptides? a) Only some have side chains (N groups or R groups extending from the backbone or central chain, b) They are formed from ribose by dehydration synthesis. c) They all have subunits that include nitrogenous bases. d) They were formed spontaneously (first appear) during Chemical Evolution before life. e) All are truearrow_forwardwater is the answer but can you explain why it is? In Miller’s original experiments on chemical evolution, which of the following molecules (gases) is thought to have been important in the formation of the Earth’s earliest atmosphere and eventually as the universal solvent in the prebiotic oceans?arrow_forward. A class of animals called ruminant animals that includes grassers (e.g., cows, zebras, giraffes, etc.; animals that feed in tall grasses and are likely to encounter poisonous snakes) during their evolution have replaced majority of their skin lipids from glycerophospholipids to sphingolipids. What do you think is the significance of this evolutionary adaptation?arrow_forward
