Q1. You are required to design a carbon-based, eukaryotic, unicellular organism that contains membrane-bound organelles that match those on Earth. Describe specific structures and components that you would include in the cell wall, plasma membrane and internal cell membranes of your cell that would assist the cell's survival in the low temperatures and high pressure experienced on Kepler-28d. (200 words maximum) Answer here:       Q2. It is critical that your cell contains the capacity to transport and traffic cellular components both intracellularly and extracellularly. To facilitate this you will need to develop an endomembrane system.  Outline the function of the endomembrane system, including which organelles will be included within your endomembrane system. (200 words maximum) Answer here:       Q3. Your cell must be able to synthesise its own proteins. Assuming the mechanism of transcription and translation remains unchanged from Earth-based organisms, describe how the trafficking of a linear polypeptide to the final export of the resulting protein will occur, based on the structure (i.e. organelles) and function of your endomembrane system (described in Q2). In your answer, ensure that you include the template for translation, the location of translation and the trafficking of the polypeptide for folding (primary, secondary and tertiary structures) and cellular export. (200 words maximum) Answer here:       Q4. There is no bioavailable glucose or carbohydrates on Kepler-28d. Given the harsh conditions on Kepler-28d, describe how your cell will respire to generate ATP. In your answer, ensure that you include the essential organelles required for respiration and the relevant inputs and outputs of each organelle in the respiration pathway. (200 words maximum) Answer here:       Q5. It’s important that the cell will colonise the planet over the long term. To facilitate this, your cell must be able to reproduce. Using Earth-based organisms as an example, you have three options for reproduction - binary fission, mitosis or meiosis. Which reproductive process will your cell employ that maximises genetic diversity? In your answer, ensure that you justify why you have chosen your preferred method, the ploidy level of the parental cells and how evolution will act on the genetic diversity in the population over the long term. Note gene flow is not possible. (200 words maximum)
