Question 43
ESSAY (10 points). Answer what is being asked with a minimum of 4 and a maximum of
8 sentences per item.
Response: We already know that Prokaryotic cell exist before eukaryotic cell and
Eukaryotic cell have a well-defined nucleus, prokaryotic cells derived from the Greek
word pro which means before and karyon means kernel or nut (nucleus) while the
eukaryotic cells is from the Greek word eu which means good or true and karyon means
kernel or nut (nucleus). Eukaryotic cells contain a variety of internal membrane-bound
organelles that are not a part of the endomembrane system. These include
mitochondria, chloroplasts, lysosomes, peroxisomes, vacuoles, and vesicles.
Prokaryotic cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane, but they have no internal
membrane-bound organelles within their cytoplasm. The absence of a nucleus and
other membrane-bound organelles differentiates prokaryotes from another class of
organisms called eukaryotes.The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic
cell division is that the prokaryotic cell division occurs through binary fission whereas
the eukaryotic cell division occurs either through mitosis or meiosis. Furthermore,
prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus.

Fructose and glucose both contain six carbon atoms. Why do the cyclic forms of
fructose have a five-membered ring instead of the six-membered ring found in the cyclic
forms in glucose?
Response: Fructose is recognised by having a five member ring and havinh six carbons,
a hexose. Both glucose and fructose may be either alpha on the anomeric carbon,so
this is not distinctive between them. Since fructose has a ketone functional group, the
ring closure at carbon #2. In the case of the fructose a five membered ring is formed.

A direct current was passed through a solution containing valine, histidine, and aspartic
acid at a pH of 6.0. One amino acid migrated to the positive electrode, one migrated to
the negative electrode, and one did not migrate to either electrode. Which amino acids
went where? And why?
Response: Because this is a basic amino acid. Both base functions exist as onium
conjugate acids in the ph 6.00 matrix. The solute molecules or argainine therefore carry
an excess positive charge, and they move toward the cathode.
