Question 26
3 / 5 pts
(Short response) Explain the common similarity in all prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Give a
brief explanation of the similarity.
Your Answer:
The common similarity between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are they both contain cells, a
cell 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 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.
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 bulk
element 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 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.
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 / 5 pts
(Short response) How does organic chemistry differ from inorganic chemistry?
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 for
organic and inorganic chemistry, but for historical and organizational reasons the
difference exists.
Include the non-carbon elements in your defintion of inorganic.

(Short Response) How does the strength of a hydrogen bond compare to the strength the London
Force? Also, how about the strength of a hydrogen bond compare to a dipole-dipole force?
Briefly comment on these differences.
Your Answer:
The hydrogen bond is the strongest non-covalent force while london forces are the weakest. The
dipole-dipole forces are the 2nd strongest forces.
1) hydrogen bonding
2) dipole-dipole forces
3) London forces
The hydrogen bond strength is between 12 and 16 kcal, while the London force is generally
less than 1 Kcal. A dipole-dipole bond usually is from 0.5 to 2.0 kcal. Also, hydrogen bonds
are the strongest non-covalent force, which is illustrated by these numbers.

Question 30
2.5 / 5 pts
(Short Response) What is the hydrophobic effect and how does a clathrate help explain this
phenomenon?
Your Answer:
Te hydrophobic effect is nonpolar substances to aggregate in an aqueous solution and exclude
water molecules. Water prefers to interact with itself. Water pushes things together and forms a
plasma membrance. Clathrate forms a tight structure.
The hydrophobic effect helps scientists explain how biological molecules form and interact.
For instance, when molecules with both a nonpolar and polar regions dissolve in water, the
nonpolar regions pack together. The packing of the nonpolar regions minimizes the
interaction with water and the polar region interact with water, which in total is called the
hydrophobic effect. The driving force behind this effect is the spontaneous drive of water to
bind to itself through hydrogen bonds. To maximize the hydrogen bonds, water orders itself
around the hydrophobic portion of the nonpolar regions in a cage structure also called a
clathrate. In so doing, water can form bonds with itself and also permit the nonpolar
regions to be dissolved.
