are synthesized and assembled
A particular cell has the following molecules and structures: enzymes, DNA, ribosomes,
plasma membrane, and mitochondria. It could be a(n) __________ cell. - ANSWER-
plant or animal

ANSWER-hypothesis
After you drink a glass of acidic lemonade, your body's pH does not change. This is an
example of how humans and other organisms - ANSWER-maintain precise internal
conditions through homeostasis

Amphipathic lipids can form lipid bilayers in water because
A. their sugar-phosphate backbones provide the stability required by membranes
B. without this there could not be cells and consequently there could not be life
