BIO 10 - Assignment #1

This document appears to be a biology assignment asking students to answer 10 questions about key concepts in cell biology. The questions cover topics like the most abundant elements in cells, the structure of carbon dioxide, how water can be stacked above a cup's rim, comparing biological macromolecules, differences between DNA and RNA, aerobic and anaerobic cell respiration, which stage produces the most ATP, how enzymes affect reactions, why saying animals respire and plants photosynthesize is misleading, and how much more glucose yeast needs in anaerobic environments. The student is asked to fill in their name, lab section, and answer each of the 10 multi-part questions.

1. Which 4 of the naturally occurring elements are the most abundant in living cells? Give
the name and chemical symbol for each of these elements.
a.
b.
c.
d.
2. Diagram the carbon and oxygen atoms in a molecule of carbon dioxide showing how
each atom completes its outer shell (or the electron configuration). What type of bond
is formed?

3. Explain why, if you pour very carefully, you can actually stack water slightly above
the rim of a cup.

4. Complete the following table comparing large biological molecules.


Biological
Macromolecule
Lipids
Carbohydrates
Nucleic acids
Proteins

Functions

Components
(monomers)

Examples

5. Name3differencesbetweenDNAandRNA.
a.
b.
c.
6. Describe the aerobic and nonaerobic components of cell respiration. In what part of
the cell does each reaction take place?

7. Which stage of cell respiration produces the most ATP?

8. How does an enzyme affect the activation energy of a chemical reaction?

9. Why is it misleading to say that animals perform cell respiration while plants perform
photosynthesis?

10. A glucose-fed yeast cell is moved from an aerobic environment to an anaerobic one.
For the cell to continue to make ATP at the same rate, approximately how much
glucose must it consume in the anaerobic environment compared to the aerobic
environment?
