alyze, or speed up, biochem-
ical processes
-play a structural role
- enable movement

8. what is the role of RNA is responsible for decipher-
ing the hereditary informa-
tion in DNA and using it to
synthesize proteins.
9. what are nucleic acids chemical molecules that car-
ry genetic information within
the cell
10. what is the plasma membrane composed of composed of lipids (hy-
drophobic hydrocarbons)
11. what is the function of the plasma membrane a surrounding barrier that
separates the inside of the
cell from the outside sur-
rounding environment
- restricts the movement of
materials either in/out of the
cell
12. what is influx (plasma membrane) allowing a cells to absorb and
keep what is needed
13. what is outflux (plasma membrane) preventing the escape of es-
sential nutrients

What is the primary difference between prokaryotic eukaryotic cells have a nucle-
and eukaryotic cells? us
prokaryotic cells do not have a
nucleus
16. What are the main morphologies of bacteria? coccus, bacillus , vibrio, spiril-
lum
17. Describe bacteria coccus shape (round/spherical)
18. describe bacteria bacillus shape (rod)
19. describe bacteria vibrio shape (curved rod)
20. describe bacteria spirillum shape (spiral/corkscrew)
21. Which group (classification) of bacteria is noted for archaea
its ability to survive under harsh conditions?
22. What are the 4 main classifications of Eukarya? Animalia, Plantae, Fungi or
Protista
23. Can viruses be classified as either prokaryotic or no- not considered living +
eukaryotic? can only replicate within a
host
24. The lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane is com- primarily of amphipathic
posed of what? phospholipids, meaning they
contain a polar hydrophilic
head group and a non-polar
hydrophobic tail region.
