loops
ribosomes - protein synthesis
plasma - cell membrane

QUESTION 4
Know how scientists believe prokaryotes gave rise to eukaryotes. - ANSWERS-
Endosymbiosis & Invagination
QUESTION 5
Endosymbiosis - ANSWERS-origin of chloroplast and mitochondrion
Cell eats or engulfs others then that prokaryote evolves into organelle
evidence: Eukaryotic chloroplast and mitochondrion are:
Similar in size to prokaryotes.
Have own DNA.
Have own internal ribosomes.
Surround by double membrane
QUESTION 6
Invagination - ANSWERS-Cell forms into itself and inner organelles are formed

phospholipid bi layer, proteins, carbs, and lipids embedded in the bilayer
Hydrophilic: head
hydrophobic: tail
QUESTION 8
Plasma Membrane & functions of Macromolecules - ANSWERS-carbohydrates:
"finger prints" for recognition by other cells, communication/sign/identifier
cholesterol: lipids keep membrane flexible
proteins: transport, receptor of chemical messages, enzyme, recognition by other
cells.
QUESTION 9
selective permiability - ANSWERS-A membrane that is permeable to only certain
molecules and not to all molecules
QUESTION 10
diffusion - ANSWERS-(movement of molecule from a region of high
concentration to one of low concentration)
