Question 25
About how many different elements are found in living organisms?
9
30
50
68
92
Question 26
(Short response) All cells share a foundational property at the cellular level. Give a brief explanation of this foundational similarity.
The fundamental similarity is that each cell type has a plasma membrane that separates life from non- life. The plasma membrane acts as a barrier to most molecules but does have proteins that permit select molecules to cross via proteins (transporters). The plasma membrane permits the cell to have a different composition of molecules inside the cell than out and defines a space for life to occur.
Develop this response based on Module 1.3 information (plasma membrane).
Question 27
(Short response) According to the Module, are smaller elements or large elements favored in biological molecules? Explain which one (smaller or larger) are preferred and give at least two examples of elements (smaller or larger) common in the biomolecules.
Smaller elements are preferred. These elements with smaller atomic shells are favored because they can form stable covalent bonds. Strong bonds form by significant overlap of atoms, such as carbon and hydrogen permitting them to share electrons. The bond that forms requires a substantial amount of energy to break, which allows the bonds to withstand insults, such as mechanical and thermal stresses. This bond strength is good news for living organisms. Stable bonds allow cells to form, hair to grow, and skin to protect against abrasion.

These elements are common: H, C, O, N, P, S, and Cl. (Se is borderline). Larger elements tend to form ionic compounds–not covalent.
Question 28
(Short response) What element is the basis for life? Describe at least two properties of this element that permit it to serve the basis for life.
1. Carbon can form strong covalent bonds with a variety of different elements. 2. Besides, carbon can form double and triple bonds with other carbon atoms and other elements (N and O). 3. Carbon can form long chains by forming numerous carbon-carbon bonds; we call these large molecules polymer. 4. Lastly, carbon can form cyclic structures, which are also called ring compounds.
Develop the second property more fully.
Question 29
5 / 5 pts
(Short response) How does organic chemistry differ from inorganic chemistry?
Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-based compounds. Inorganic chemistry is the study of all other elements, but carbon. There is no need to have separate sub-disciples for organic and inorganic chemistry, but for historical and organizational reasons, the difference exists.
Question 30
5 / 5 pts
(Short response) Biochemists study the chemical reactions of organisms. According to the module, what are two other aspects of living organisms that biochemists study?
In the module, biochemists also study the structure and function of biomolecules and communication within and among organisms. [Show Less]
