Chapter 25.2, Problem 3SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The properties that the earliest proto-cells hypothesized to have in common with modern-day cellular organisms and mention the properties of modern-day cellular organisms that are hypothesized to have been absent in the earliest proto-cells.
Introduction:
The evolution of cell membrane plays a very important role in the adaptation of modern cellular organisms in the varying environment. It keeps useful cellular secretions intact, maintains chemically distinct intracellular components, and provides protection from parasitic attack.
