g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g 1 g1 g1
A) cell envelope. g1
B) cell membrane. g1
C) nucleoid.
D) nucleus.

thedevelopment of:
g1 g1
A) DNA.
B) photosynthetic capability. g1
C) plasma membranes. g1
D) ribosomes.

4. The dimensions of living cells are limited, on the lower end by the minimum number
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
ofbiomolecules necessary for function, and on the upper end by the rate of
