1. Explain the distinction between the cytosol and the cytoplasm of a cell? Tell whether lysosomes, mitochondria, ribosomes and DNA are part of the cytosol or the cytoplasm or both. Do
bacteria have a cytosol or a cytoplasm?
2. Describe the Endosymbiotic Theory and list the evidence that supports it.
3. Explain why ribosomes cannot be visualized with a light microscope but can be easily detected with an electron microscope.
4. Describe the chemistry of carbon atoms. Tell about their electron configuration and their capacity to form covalent bonds including double bonds. Also, explain how carbon-based
molecules can be so large and heavily branched.
