transmit it to the next generation.
2. The four nitrogen bases found in RNA are adenine, cytosine, gua-
nine, and uracil
3. Carbon is a compound. False

three-dimensional structures are
5. If a molecule is added to a glass of water, and is true
easily dissolved by the water, the added molecule is
described as hydrophilic.

Cells typically keep the surface to volume ratio high. If
a cell was a cube and you doubled the height, width,
and length of the cell, how much would the volume
increase?

fluid to cross between cells, you would predict that it
contained tight junctions.
