Summary Introduction
To review:
The non-occurrence of evolution of cells which would have resulted in same temperature optimum of all enzymes.
Introduction:
Proteins are polypeptide chain of amino acids. Twenty different types of amino acids are involved in the formation of various forms of proteins. Some proteins act as catalyst or enzymes and increase the

- IS IT A FACT OR A BLUFF? 1. Bacterial genetic material is composed single stranded DNA as compared to human DNA which is double stranded. 2. Just like humans, all microbes need oxygen to grow and reproduce. 3. There are no living microbes in volcanic vent and in hot spring because microbes die at very high temperature. 4. Most bacteria growth is retarded at low temperature. 5. Bacterial ATP production happens in the mitochondria which is the powerhouse of the cell. After identifying your answer whether fact or bluff, you need to give justification to your answer. You Justification should be given in not more that 50 words.arrow_forwardHow can cells function differently even though they have the same DNA?
