Chapter 3, Problem 1SQ
Summary Introduction

Concept introduction: Eukaryotes belong to the domain Eukarya or Eukaryota. The eukaryotic cells have a nucleus enclosed within a membrane. They have various membrane bound organelles present in them. Eukaryotes have the ability to reproduce both sexually and asexually.

Answer to Problem 1SQ

Correct answer: In contrast to the average prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells have many different types of internal compartments. Therefore, option b. is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

In addition to the nucleus, the eukaryotic cell has various internal compartments that are not present in the prokaryotes. The eukaryotic cell contains various organelles like mitochondria, chloroplasts, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes.

Option b. is given as “have many different types of internal compartments”. As the eukaryotic cells have many different types of internal compartments compare to the prokaryotes option b. is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statement:

Option a. is given as “have no nucleus”. Eukaryotic cells possess a well-defined nucleus. So, option a. is incorrect.

Option c. is given as “have ribosomes in their plasma membrane”. Ribosomes are present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. They are found free in the cytoplasm or can be seen bound to the endoplasmic reticulum. So option c. is incorrect.

Option d. is given as “lack a plasma membrane”. Both prokaryotic cell and eukaryotic cell are surrounded by a plasma membrane. So, option d. is incorrect.

Hence, options a., c., and d. are incorrect.

Conclusion
Eukaryotic cells have various types of internal compartments that are not present in the prokaryotes.

In order to establish the expiration date of perishable food, growth curve data must be collected. Once the microbial load is so high that it poses a hazard to human health, the food item is no longer considered safe (expired). Generally a load of x50,000 bacteria/gram is considered unsafe. Your task is to determine the microbial growth curves for MicroYo, a new brand of yogurt. The growth is determined by sampling the yogurt and growing the bacterial isolates in broth culture which is then serially diluted by a total of x10,000 and inoculated onto standard petri plates of nutrient agar. The following colony counts are measured: Time (days) MicroYo colony count# 1 1 4 1 12 2 16 20 4 7 What day should you recommend expiring the yogurt (the last possible date before the microbial load is unsafe). 12 4 20 16
