Which of the following are energy reserves for prokaryotic cells?     

 A three-year-old patient is admitted to the ER after a sudden onset of high fever and chills, a productive cough, and shortness of breath. The parents indicate that the child had been healthy up until a few hours ago. An initial work-up of the child shows an elevated temperature (103oF), a rapid pulse rate (140 bpm), and a low oxygen saturation level (82%). Supplemental oxygen and acetaminophen are administered immediately, and specimens are obtained from the patient for microbial analysis.  The specimens are Gram stained and analyzed microscopically. The laboratory technician observes spherical purple-colored cells arranged in short chains. Based upon this evidence, which of the following microbes is most likely the pathogen affecting the patient?     

If cells are placed in a hypertonic solution what could happen?     

One component of ribosomes collect in the ______  and the other components are  synthesized by the _____    

Compare and Contrast Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells (In great detail)!! A.  Discuss structural and chemical differences and similarities B.  Name the theory and  Provide evidence to substantiate the theory that eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic cells. (Give specific examples!!)

 As an RN in a primary care office, you recently took care of a 15-year-old patient with severe gastrointestinal distress. Since the patient had experienced diarrhea, vomiting and a fever for 4 days, a stool culture was ordered in an attempt to identify a disease-causing pathogen. The laboratory results have just been faxed over to your office and you begin to read the data. After reading all of the information, you place a call to the patient and inform him that he is suffering from Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis infection. You explain to him that the ability of the technicians to identify the pathogen to the specific serotype was important to his treatment and was possible due to     

All living organisms are comprised of cells.
