Chapter 4, Problem 14TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
The features of the cell structure, which suggest that the prokaryotes and eukaryotes share a common ancestor in their evolutionary history.
Introduction:
The cell is the basic unit of life and organisms are made up of trillions of cells that contribute to the formation of different types of organs. The cell acts as the building block of life. There are different types of cells that perform different types of functions.

Could you recognize images of and/or name key structures/organelles and their functions for both cell types?arrow_forwardAnswer the Guide Question: a) Each cell in an organism has all of the basic parts. Each has a function that benefits the other cells, how might the presence of different cell structures in plant and animal help them perform their functions as an organism. Explain. b) Why is the cell membrane considered as the guard of the cell? c) Why is the lysosome considered as the suicide bag of the cell?arrow_forwardIn observing a cell, you note the presence of flagella. What could you look for to distinguish this specimen between a prokaryotic cell and an animal cell? Group of answer choices Confirm the presence or absence of a plasma membrane. Confirm the presence of a cell wall. Confirm the presence or absence of a nucleus. Confirm the presence or absence of ribosomes.arrow_forward

Given the properties of the water in the prebiotic ocean. One would expect that H2O and ions would: A) move through the fatty acid layer of the phospholipid bilayer out of the pre-cell, B) be unable to move through the bilayer, C) move through the phosphate groups in the pre cell phospholipid bilayer and move into cell, D) dissolve the bilayer, E) transport proteins into the pre cell.arrow_forwardExplain the difference between a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell.
