Question 26
5 / 5 pts
(Short response) Explain the common similarity in all prokaryotic and eukaryotic
cells. Explain the similarity in at least two sentences.
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 plasma membrane permits the cell to have a different
composition of molecules inside the cell than out and defines a space for life to
occur.
Question 27
5 / 5 pts
(Short response) Would a scientist be more likely to find an element such as O in
a biomolecule, or W? Explain which she would more likely find in a biological
molecule and give specific physical/chemical properties.
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 shells are 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 bonds to 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 to protect against
abrasion.
Larger elements, such as W, tend to form ionic compounds–not covalent.
Question 28
5 / 5 pts
(Short response) Describe at least three properties of carbon that permit it to be
the basis of life.
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.
Question 29
5 / 5 pts
(Short response) What the definition of inorganic chemistry? How does it differ
from organic chemistry?
Inorganic chemistry is the study of all other elements, but carbon. Organic
chemistry is the study of carbon-based compounds both in living and non-living
organisms. There is no need to have separate sub-disciples for organic and
inorganic chemistry, but for historical and organizational reasons, the difference
exists.
Question 30
5 / 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?
In the module, biochemists also study the structure and function of biomolecules
and the chemical reactions of organisms.
