One hypothesis that has been proposed regarding the origin of life suggests that life evolved fromanʺRNA worldʺto today’sʺDNA wo

rld.ʺ
Considering the properties of RNA and DNA molecules, which questions would direct an investigation of the most insightful test(s) of this hypothesis?

A) Since ribozymes could freely enter and leave the vesicles, could these molecules have brought external DNA into the cell as a less stable, but more reliable storage molecule of double-stranded DNA?
B) Is it likely that simple, yet stable RNA molecules served as a primitive precursor to a less stable DNA molecule that was more capable of storing more information?
C) Is it likely that RNA molecules functioned as ribozymes to synthesize DNA from amino acids, and that this role was reversed when DNA became the information source?
D) Could RNA have provided a template for DNA assembly, thereby enabling a more stable molecule that is replicated more accurately?

Explain how the cell membrane helps the cell maintain homeostasis-a stable internal environment. Name specific structures of the
bearhunter [10]

The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer that prevents that passage of water and ions. This allows cells to maintain a higher concentration of sodium ions out the outside of the cell. Cells also maintain a higher concentration of potassium ions and organic acids on their inside.

Which of these statements would be true if the water molecule was linear instead of bent? Check all that apply.
zavuch27 [327]

If the water molecule was linear instead of bent, water would no longer produce hydrogen bonds. It will lose its polar properties and nearly all of its properties will change such as boiling point, water tension and solubility. It would be closer to gas, rather than liquid.
