Acetic acid Glucose Glycine Question 25 About how many different elements are found in living organisms? Question 26 Not yet graded / 5 pts (Short response) Explain the common similarity in all prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Give a brief explanation of the similarity. Your Answer: They both have a plasma membrane that separates life from non life. It also has a proteins in the wall that allow elements to pass through as nessesscary. 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 Not yet graded / 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. Your Answer: O would be more likely. Because of the smaller size the oxygen would have stronger covelant bonds while the tungston would probably have weaker ionic bonds. 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 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 Not yet graded / 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 basic element for human life • It can create cyclic rings or compounds • It can have long chains of carbons creating polymers • It can have single, double, or triple bonds with other carbons and some other elements. 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 Not yet graded / 5 pts (Short response) How does organic chemistry differ from inorganic chemistry? Your Answer: Organic chemistry mainly focuses the elements carbon and how carbon reacts with other elements. Inorganic chemistry focuses on all other elements and completely leaves out carbon. Organic chemistry is the study of 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. Question 30 Not yet graded / 5 pts (Short response) Biochemists study the structure and functional relationships of biomolecules. According to the module, what are two other aspects of living wThiitshsstutdaynsoduricne swuasltdso,wsnluoacdhedabsy 1m00e0c00h8a17n9i3c6a68l7afnrodm tChouerrsemH on 02-14-2o0r2g2 a15n:5is5:m17sGtMhTa-t06b:0i0ochemists study?
