Q

Example of structure and function

A

Plasma membrane
- it is semi permeable = allowing only certain things to enter/ exit the cell

  • this is due to having a hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic heads

Q

Who is Louis Pasteur

A

Discovered biogenesis

Experiment he boiled broth in a straight flask and a curved neck flask to demonstrate microbes come from pre-existing microbes

  • straight flask had growth and curved did not until he turned the curved flask on its side to allow those trapped particles in the curve to enter
