/hich finding can bé used to justify the claim that living organisms are dynamic? Combustion of living plants results in formation of carbon dioxide and water along with a great deal of heat. Examination of fossilized remains of dinosaurs indicates that these organisms share some anatomical features with modern birds. Elemental analysis of living tissue reveals the presence of many elements in trace quantities. Radioisotopic tracing shows that living organisms transform glucose and oxygen to carbon dioxide and water. Microscopic examination of tissue removed from a multicellular organism reveals cells as the underlying basic units of structure. O O

A popular theme in science fiction literature has been the idea of silicon-based life-forms in contrast to our carbon-based life. Evaluate the possibility of silicon-based life based on the chemical structure and potential for chemical bonding of a silicon atom.
Several emergent properties of water contribute to the suitability of the environment for life. Choose two properties of water and describe how these properties arise from the structure of water molecules. Next choose any organism, and give specific examples of how the properties of water you described contribute to the survival of the given organism.

Physical and Biological SciencesA bomb calorimeter was calibrated by burning 1.013 g of benzoic acid(C7H6O2) (ΔUcomb = 3.221 × 103 kJ/mol). The temperature change in thecalorimeter during the calibration combustion was 5.19°C. A nutritional chemist then used the calibrated calorimeter to determine the energy con-tent of food. The chemist carefully dried a sample of food and placed 0.8996 g of the sample in the calorimeter with sufficient oxygen for thecombustion to go to completion. Combustion of the food sample causedthe temperature of the calorimeter to increase by 4.42°C.1. Approximately how many moles of O2 gas were consumed in thecalibration combustion?a) 0.008 c) 0.2b) 0.1 d) 0.06 2. What is the heat capacity (CV) of the calorimeter?a) 5.15 kJ/°C c) 5.12 kJ/°Cb) 5.08 kJ/°C d) 4.97 kJ/°C3. What is the energy content of the food?a) 22.8 kJ/g c) 25.3 kJ/gb) 4.97 kJ/g d) 0.201 kJ/g4. What would be the effect on the result if the food sample were notcompletely dried prior to being…
you have embarked on an ambitious research project: to create life in a test tube. you boil up a rich mixture of yeast extract and amino acids in a flask along with a sprinkling of the inorganic salts known to be essential for life. you seal the flask and allow it to cool. after several months, the liquid is as clear as ever, and there are no signs of life. a friend suggests that excluding the air was a mistake, since most life as we know it requires oxygen. you repeat the experiment, but this time you leave the flask open to the atmosphere. to your great delight, the liquid becomes cloudy after a few days and under the microscope you see beautiful small cells that are clearly growing and dividing. does this experiment prove that you managed to generate a novel life-form? how might you redesign your experiment to allow air into the flask, yet eliminate the possibility that contamination is the explanation for the results? (for a ready-made answer, look up the classic experiments of…
justify the dependence of life on the sun and the interdependence of living things and their chemistry. People who do not understand the relationships between biological processes on the planet may roll their eyes at the statement, "Life on this planet is a delicate balance." What evidence have you found in this course so far to support this statement? Consider: The relationship between the sun, autotrophs, and heterotrophs. Give examples of how the relationship between each group. The relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Explain the chemical reactants and products of one to the other. The relationship between oxidation and reduction reactions. Define and provide an example of each. The production and consumption of ATP during photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Be detailed in where ATP is made, and where it may be used both in photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
