Question

there is a dark area inside the cell that is composed of genetic material that is not surrounded by a membrane. this area is called the ____________

Answer 1

I am going to be a little rude and ask: did you attempt to answer these questions you self? These are textbook definitions and can be found in your textbook or on the Wikipedia.

Answer 2

I don't mind helping, I just want you to try do the question first, at least give a guess to what the answer might be :)

Answer 3

I understand

Answer 4

but i can't find anything in the lessons that has anything to do with a dark area inside the cell that is composed of genetic material that is not surrounded by a membrane.

Answer 5

Then let me give you a hint. What do you call that big object that contains all the genes? Forget the fact it is dark.

Answer 6

Where is all (the majority) the DNA found in cells? :)

Answer 7

Starts with N. I think you know the answer.
Another clue: It literally means "the core"

Answer 8

Thank you!

Answer 9

Found the answer? :)

Answer 10

yup.

Answer 11

What is it then (just to check, as I don't want you to walk away with a wrong answer)?

Answer 12

it the nucleus right?

Answer 13

Correct! And inside the nucleus it would be specifically the "nucleolus"

Answer 14

Thank you very much!

Answer 15

We can also take a look at all the other questions you made. But it would follow the same procedure that you do the best of your abilities to answer the question and then I will guide you towards the answer.

Answer 16

let me try and answer them myself and see if i can get the right answers

Answer 17

:)

Answer 18

The genetic material or DNA is made of which macromolecule? my answer, Nucleic acids?

Answer 19

Correct!. :)
Sorry I was deeply into my own work so I completely forgot to check on you.

Answer 20

Scattered throughout the cytoplasm are very small organelles called _____________ which are responsible for making proteins.

Answer 21

Actually, it is almost correct.

Answer 22

what do you call the "sugar, base, phosphate" component that makes up DNA?

Answer 23

which one are you on?

Answer 24

Nuclei acids is the sorta the category of macromolecules, we are looking for the monomer.


"The genetic material or DNA is made of which macromolecule?"

Answer 25

Have you heard about ATP?

Answer 26

yes

Answer 27

What kind of molecule is that? :)

Answer 28

what category.

Answer 29

im not sure

Answer 30

I would say the answer should be "nucleotide". Heard of that before?

DNA and RNA (the genetic material) are build from the addition of nucleotides to each other, making a long chain we know as DNA or RNA.

Answer 31

I've never heard of that before.

Answer 32

Scattered throughout the cytoplasm are very small organelles called _____________ which are responsible for making proteins.

Answer 33

Try read this then. This is from the wiki, but I have proofread it:

"The two DNA strands are termed polynucleotides since they are composed of simpler monomer units called nucleotides.[2][3] Each nucleotide is composed of one of four nitrogen-containing nucleobases—either cytosine (C), guanine (G), adenine (A), or thymine (T)—and a sugar called deoxyribose and a phosphate group. The nucleotides are joined to one another in a chain by covalent bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of the next, resulting in an alternating sugar-phosphate backbone. The nitrogenous bases of the two separate polynucleotide strands are bound together (according to base pairing rules (A with T, and C with G) with hydrogen bonds to make double-stranded DNA." - Wiki

Do you think this fits the answer to the question? :)

Answer 34

my answer, Ribosomes

Answer 35

Correct! :) BONUS question cause I work with proteins:
What is the process of making proteins called? (mRNA -> proteins)

Answer 36

endomembrane system

Answer 37

?

Answer 38

I suck at bio if you can't tell by now

Answer 39

Translation :P, but it was also a bonus question, cause I love my work with proteins at the university.


I don't think you are bad a biology. You have found the answers so far, you just need to find some way you can memorize them.

Answer 40

I am righting them down as we go :) i think that will help.

Answer 41

And a good exercise is to associate some words that can describe the terms. e.g.:
Ribosome: Small organelle in the cytoplasm responsible for the translation of proteins.
DNA: Genetic martial stored in the nucleus in eukaryotes, DNA is a double standard helix building from repeating nucleotides (A,G,C,T).

Answer 42

What I just wrote is the first that always comes to my mind when i see the words, Ribosomes and DNA.

Answer 43

Thank you

Answer 44

No problem. Do you have more questions we should look at?

Answer 45

Scattered throughout the cytoplasm are very small organelles called _____Ribosomes_____ which are responsible for making proteins.

The monomers (or building blocks) of these proteins are called _____________.

Answer 46

And what is the monomer of proteins then? :)

Answer 47

Amino acids...?

Answer 48

Very much correct! (again sorry.... work)

Answer 49

Since you claim you are not good in biology, what subjects do you like then? Of curiosity

Answer 50

hmm... probably algebra

Answer 51

In order to successfully get in and out of prokaryote-ville we had to go through the selectively ___________ membrane.

Answer 52

im not really sure what its talking about....

Answer 53

It is also a little hard. you are looking for the latin word of penetration as an adjective.

Answer 54

Heard about the word "permeable"?

Answer 55

no

Answer 56

Well, but that is the answer.
Take a here and read.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semipermeable_membrane

Answer 57

I do not get that at all but here, In order to successfully get in and out of prokaryote-ville we had to go through the selectively ______ permeable _____ membrane.

Answer 58

Yes "through the selectively penetrable/permeable membrane." does that not make sense?

Answer 59

no.... lol

Answer 60

Try read the wiki page. See if it aids the understanding :)

Answer 61

I read it

Answer 62

Thank you for all your help!

Answer 63

I may have more questions

Answer 64

Fire away. Potentially open a new question.... in principle it is 1 question / post, but I really don't mind.

Answer 65

if i think of more questions ill open a new one so i can give you more medals
