Answer #1

Generalist Species	Specialist Species
A generalist species is able to thrive/survive in a wide variety of environmental conditions including diet, climate etc.	A specialist can only thrive/survive in narrow range of environmental conditions and has limited variety of diet.
A generalist species can easily adapt to the changes in the environment and survives with no much difficulty.	A specialist species can only live in narrow range of condition and therefore becomes susceptible to extinction much more easily.
Examples: Brown bear, coyote, humans, rabbits, foxes, wolves, and common house fly	Examples: Giant panda, Venus flytrap, and Koala

9 , What feature of eukeryotic cytoplasmic membranes differentiates it the most from prokaryotic cytoplasmic membranes? Prokeryotic cytoplesmic membranes do not contain phospholipids. The composition of the phospholipid layer facing the outside of the cell is significently different compared to the lipid layer facing the cytoplesm. Unique proteins penetreting the cytoplesmic membrane. (Hint are there unique cytoplasmic membrane-protein differences found in eukeryotic cells?)
