Q:l whatl arel thel rolesl ofl thel twol majorl typesl ofl nucleicl acids
Answer:
DNAl holdsl thel codingl andl genesl thatl thenl arel usedl tol producel RNAl whichl isl usedl tol
makel specificl proteins
Q:l whatl arel somel ofl thel mainl differencesl betweenl prokaryoticl andl eukaryoticl cells
Answer:
Prokaryoticl cellsl arel smalll andl multiplyl fast,l theyl don'tl havel organellesl andl dol notl
havel al nuclearl membranel enclosingl thel DNAl inl thel cell.l Eukaryoticl cellsl however,l
havel membranel boundl organellesl andl havel al largel nucleusl membranel whichl makel theml
al biggerl celll thanl prokaryoticl cells

Q:l whatl isl thel purposel ofl thel celll membrane
Answer:
wrapsl aroundl thel celll andl isl responsiblel forl keepingl thel cytoplasml andl organellesl inl
thel celll andl separatingl theml froml thel externall environment
Q:l explainl thel differencel betweenl passivel andl activel transportl andl providel anl
examplel ofl each
Answer:
passivel transportl doesl notl requirel energyl forl anl elementl tol movel betweenl thel celll
membranel forl examplel oxygenl andl carbonl dioxidel canl movel throughl al celll membranel
,withoutl anl energyl input.l Activel transportl needsl anl energyl suchl asl ATPl aidingl withl thel
sodium-potassiuml pumpl tol movel thel moleculel inl orl outl ofl thel membrane.
