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.

9. Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. 18 carbons fatty acids 12 carbons 9 glycerol A. Glycerol is broken down to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, a glycolysis intermediate via the following pathway shown in the figure below. Notice this process costs one ATP but generates one FADH2. Continue generating ATP with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate using the standard pathway and aerobic respiration. glycerol glycerol-3- phosphate…
Normal dive (for diving humans) normal breathing dive normal breathing Oz level CO2 level urgent need to breathe Oz blackout zone high CO2 triggers breathing 6. This diagram shows rates of oxygen depletion and carbon dioxide accumulation in the blood in relation to the levels needed to maintain consciousness and trigger the urgent need to breathe in diving humans. How might the location and slope of the O₂ line differ for diving marine mammals such as whales and dolphins? • How might the location and slope of the CO₂ line differ for diving marine mammals such as whales and dolphins? • • Draw in predicted lines for O2 and CO2, based on your reasoning above. How might the location of the Urgent Need to Breathe line and the O2 Blackout Zone line differ for diving marine mammals? What physiological mechanisms account for each of these differences, resulting in the ability of marine mammals to stay submerged for long periods of time?
