What is the plasma membrane made of? - Answer>>> Lipids and non-polar proteins, making it
impermeable to water, ions, and large molecules.
Advantage of cyclic carbon compounds - Answer>>> They are more restricted in their
movements and orientation - advantageous for building structures and maintaining shape
Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes - Answer>>> Prokaryotes include bacteria and other single celled
organisms. Eukaryotes are the larger multicellular organisms that include algae, fungi, plants,
and animals.
Main difference between Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes. - Answer>>> Eukaryotes contain
membrane-bound organelles while prokaryotes do not.
What is the monomer of DNA? Of proteins? Of carbohydrates? - Answer>>> Nucleotide; Amino
Acids; Sugar molecule
Monomers - Answer>>> Single, smallest building block used to build macromolecules.
Supramolecular Complexes - Answer>>> A complex of two or more macromolecules that
routinely interact to function in the cell
What is the purpose of a supramolecular complex? - Answer>>> The macromolecules retain
individual units but stick to one another for a time to accomplish a task and then often break
apart once the job is done.
What are the 3 Phylogeny? - Answer>>> Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
Where do Bacteria live? - Answer>>> Soil, water, intestines, and on our skin.
Where do Archaea live? - Answer>>> Extreme environments, such as hot springs, acidic bogs,
and the ocean floor.
Prokaryote Organelles/Structures - Answer>>> Plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nuclei (with
genome inside), ribosomes, metabolome
