The cell membranes of the plants and other organisms are semi - permeable. This means that they allow other substances to get in and out while ban others. In this item, placing lettuce or spinach in water, allow water to get into the cell through the process called pinocytosis or "cell drinking". This process makes the leaves crispy.

Placing lettuce or spinach in water allows water to get into the cell through the process called osmosis, which is basically the facilitated diffusion of water. The water diffuses into the spinach or lettuce, making them crispy.

Temka [501]

Based on these facts, we can state that the genes of the two organisms had a eukaryotic origin.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Despite having exons, prokaryotes do not have introns in their genomes.
  • This means that if two organisms have the same sequence of introns and exons, they have a common ancestor, in addition to having their genes originated in a eukaryotic organism, which explains the sequence of introns.

This means that the genetic expression of these two organisms has similarities, even if they are organisms with different biological processes.

All of the following statements about enzymes are true EXCEPT
kari74 [83]

Answer:

(D) Enzymes can function only within living cells.

Explanation:

<em>Enzymes are biological molecules that are proteinous in nature and speed up the rate of biological reactions.</em>

Option A is true because enzymes are not used up or changed when they are used to catalyze reactions

Option B is true. Enzymes are very specific with regards to the reactions they take part in.

Option C is true. Some enzymes contain non-protein component that assist them in their functioning. These non-protein components are called co-factors.

Option E is true. Because enzymes are proteinous in nature, they can be destroyed/denatured by high temperatures.

<em>The only untrue option is D. Some enzymes can function outside living cells. For example, the enzymes involved in digestion can function not just within living cells but also outside it. The functions of some of the digestive enzymes can be demonstrated in the laboratory.</em>

The correct option is D.
