1. In eukaryotic cells, DNA is located only in the nucleus.                       
False (B)   
Explanation 
It’s also located in the mitochondria and chloroplast.

2. What is the difference between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, and which allows 
cells to function properly?  
Saturated and unsaturated fatty acids might be differentiated on the basis of absence or 
presence of multiple (double and/or triple) bonds respectively. Owing to presence of unsaturated 
fatty acids, fluidity of cell membrane may be maintained since; these acids cannot reflect close 
packing. Thus; unsaturated fatty acids ensure optimum functioning of cell, because cell depends 
on its “fluid” characteristic to perform various functions involving movement.

3. What are the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures of proteins? 
Provide an example for each.  
When amino acids join together through peptide bonds then thus resulted linear chain like 
structure is considered as; primary structure of protein for instance, Dystrophin. 
Secondary structure of proteins results from regular folding of polypeptide chains' 
regions like; presence of alpha helix in myoglobin.
http://www.shmoop.com/biomolecules/theme-b.html
Three dimensional arrangements of amino acids present in a polypeptide chain form the 
tertiary structure of protein for example, 3-D shape of Tripeptidyl peptidase I enzyme has been 
presented in following figure:
Further, spatial array of polypeptide subunits (and the nature of interactions present 
between them) is called as; protein’s quaternary structure for instance, adult hemoglobin consists 
of four globular subunits: 2 alpha and 2 beta.

4. The plasma membrane is important for ________________________.  
c. Monitoring what enters cells 
Explanation 
Because of its semi- permeability,
