The benefit of a cell membrane includes

• formation of an internal environment in which optimal conditions can be maintained.

• the rigid structure forms a protective layer.

• allowing any materials to free flow in and out of the internal environment.

The formation of membrane-bound organelles such as a the nucleus and rER is likely due to

• infoldings in the external membrane that then pinched off.

• a mutualistic relationship with a proteobacterium.

• transcription by DNA into mRNA.

• supercoiling of the nucleoid region.

Which is NOT a piece of evidence supporting the endosymbiotic theory?

• Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA.

• Mitochondria and chloroplasts have ribosomes similar in size to prokaryotic ribosomes.

• The inner membranes of mitochondria and chloroplasts have proteins similar to prokaryotes.

• Mitochondria and chloroplasts are roughly the same size as the nucleus.

Louis Pasteur's experiment was set up to either accept or reject the hypothesis of

• common ancestry.

• organic molecules forming from simpler molecules.

• electrical storms.

• spontaneous generation.

Molecules hypothesized to NOT be abundant in pre-biotic earth conditions include:

• H₂

• H₂O

• O₂

• NH₃

The Miller Urey experiment used __________ to simulate electrical storms.

• electrodes

• a light bulb

• heated water to create water vapour

• radiation

It is hypothesized that monomers were able to form into polymers

• in laboratory conditions only.

• at deep sea thermal vents.

• through endosymbiosis.

• due to the formation of the cell membrane.
