b) After you collect the cells, lyse the cells (open them up) and analyze their you discover that they contain DNA, RNA, proteins, and phospholipids. Based on these results you can conclude that the alien cells are: (circe answer on the (2 test) points) Prokaryotic ii) Eukaryotic lii) Can not determine c) Explain why your answer is correct.(3 points) d) As the next step in whether or not the alien cells are or eukaryotic, you look at the cells under an electron mi What are two structures that you would you look for that would differentiate between prokaryotic and eukarcotic cells? In your answer, describe the function of these structures (6 points)

Solution

b) iii - Cannot be determined.

c) As both eukaryotes and prokaryotes contain DNA, RNA, proteins and Phospholipids.

d) 2 Structures to look for under an electron microscope are :
   1. Nucleus
2. MItochondria

Functions of Nucleus: The nucleus is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Inside its fully-enclosed nuclear membrane, it contains the majority of the cell\'s genetic material. This material is organized as DNA molecules, along with a variety of proteins, to form chromosomes.
     The nucleus is made up of a double membrane nuclear envelope that keeps the entire organelle encased, isolating its contents from the rest of the cell, and the nucleoskeleton which supports the cell as a whole. The nucleus maintains the security of the genes and controls the functions of the entire cell by regulating gene expression. This is why the nucleus is sometimes referred to as the control center, or the \"brain,\" of the cell. Since large molecules cannot get inside the nucleus through the nuclear membrane, small holes called nuclear pores dot the surface area of the envelope. These pores regulate the transport of those molecules by carrier proteins embedded in the double layer of the membrane. Small molecules and ions are able to pass through the membrane freely, however.
The nucleus is the site for genetic transcription, while keeping it separated from the cytoplasm. This means gene regulation is taking place in eukaryotic cells that have a nucleus, but that this gene regulation isn\'t available to prokaryotes. That means the main function of the nucleus is to govern gene expression and facilitate DNA replication during the cell cycle.

Functions of Mitochondria : The main function of mitochondria is the production of energy during the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) via the TCA Cycle (which is also as the Krebs Cycle and the Citric Acid Cycle). That process is an important metabolic pathway.

20. To measure the amount of nucleic acids derived from cells that have been cultured in medium containing a particular radioactive compound, 32P is the most effective labelling method as Phosphorus is present in DNA or the nucleic acid.

20b. Sorry the information about this part of the question is not known.

Hope the other answers are helpful!
Good luck!
