Answer:

(1) glycerophospholipids ⟶ (C) lipids with phosphate-containing head groups

(2) cerebrosides ⟶ (D) fatty acid linked through an amide bond to the sphingosine C(2)-amine

(3) gangliosides ⟶ (B) anionic sphingolipids containing one or more sialic acid residues

(4) sphingolipids ⟶ (A) built on sphingosine

Explanation:

1) Choline (Fig. 1) is a glycerophospholipid. It is a glycerol-based lipid with a phosphate-containing head group.

(2) Galactosylceramide (Fig. 2) is a cerebroside. It contains a fatty acid linked through an amide bond to the sphingosine C(2)-amine

(3) Gangliosides are glycosphingolipids that contain sialic acid. GQ1b (Fig. 3) is one of the most abundant gangliosides in the human brain. The carboxyl group of the sialic acid is in the ionic form.

(4) Sphingomyelin (Fig. 4) is a sphingolipid. It is based on sphingosine, with a phosphocholine head and a fatty acid chain.

1. Flowering plants and bees have influenced each other's evolution, providing an example of

Doss [256]

Answer:

1. coevolution

2. abiogenesis

3. Endosymbiont Theory

4. It's estimated that over 99 percent of the species that have existed on Earth at some point in time are extinct today.

5. Coevolution implies that the evolution of one species is dependent on and works in relation to the evolution of another species. This may cause positive or negative impacts and could be beneficial to both organisms or only to one.

6. This theory states that the first building block of life that allowed for reproduction of organisms was the development of self-replicating RNA. This hasn't been able to be fully demonstrated in any science experiment but is based on the idea that there are RNAs that can catalyze biochemical reactions on their own without proteins.

7. This process points to the development of structures through the envelopment of smaller cells that perform specific functions. This is how eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic cells.

8. This experiment was important because it showed that, in the right primordial soup, organic compounds could develop from inorganic compounds.
