The heterotroph hypothesis of the origin of life states that basic organic building blocks formed from inorganic molecules under

the primitive conditions present early in Earth’s development. These building blocks combined to form polymers, such as crude proteins. Dr. Sidney Fox wished to add to the heterotroph hypothesis of the origin of life by synthesizing simple proteins from a mixture of amino acids. Which statement below best states an alternative hypothesis Fox could have used to frame his research?

Answer:

1) abiotic synthesis of small organic molecules (monomers)

2) joining of monomers into polymers

3) packaging of these molecules into protobionts, droplets with membranes that maintained a distinct internal chemistry

4) origin of self-replicating molecules that eventually made inheritance possible

Do autotrophs need to perform cellular respiration?
nydimaria [60]
Many autotrophs make food through the process of photosynthesis, in which light energy from the sun is changed to chemical energy that is stored in glucose. All organisms use cellular respiration to break down glucose, release its energy, and make ATP. Autotrophs are also called producers. They produce food not only for themselves but for all other living things as well (which are known as consumers). This is why autotrophs form the basis of food chains.
Yes, autotrophs need to perform cellular respiration.

A scientist put red blood cells in water that contained salt. Over time, the red blood cells burst. What is most likely true?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

that the salted water osmolarity was bellow 300mOsm/L.

Explanation:

A solution with osmolarity bellow 300mOsm/L is known as hypotonic and will cause a cell to swell and eventually burst if equilibrium is not reached

The model below shows the structure of a portion of a plasma membrane in an animal cell. The model shows the structure of a port
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The amphipathic property of the phospholipids that constitute the membrane

Explanation:

It seems like a options-based answer so it would be better if they were included here but basically, each of those phospholipid molecules has two parts with antagonistic reactions towards water.

The head is polar or hydrophilic, wich means it can be sorrounded by water. The tail, is apolar or hydrophobic which means it is repelled by water.

The interior and exterior of the cell is contain water-based substances, that's why the heads of the phospholipids are oriented like that with the tails protected inside the membrane.

This double layer structure has a fundamental role in the fluid property of the cell membrane from which derive most of it's functions.

How do cells such as algae and protists avoid lysis in fresh water?
charle [14.2K]

The protists were able to avoid lysis by having its function of the contractile vacuole in which it helps in pumping the water which are enough or excess to get it out of the cell. While the algae avoids lysis was because of its cell wall that is rigid in nature.
