Goblet cells are part of the cell layer lining the intestines. They specialize in secreting mucus, which forms a protective layer over the layer of cells. The mucus is made up of glycoproteins (proteins with attached carbohydrates). Which of the following organelles is/are directly involved in the production and secretion of mucus by goblet cells? (Choose all that apply.)

Which is a correct statement about the Na+/K+ transporter (pump), and its cytology and cellular role? It is found the basal side of intestinal epithelial cells, pumping Na+ out of the cell into the blood. It is found on the plasma membrane of neurons, pumping Na+ into axons from the blood. It is found on the membrane of the lysosome, pumping K+ into the lumen of the lysosome. It is found on the apical side of intestinal epithelia, pumping K+ into the lumen of the intestine.

The lips are muscular folds forming the anterior boundary of the oral cavity. A mucous membrane covers the lips internally and the skin of the face covers them externally. The vermillion border, which is the red part of the lips, is covered by keratinized epithelium that is the transition between the epithelium of the mucous membrane and the facial skin. The vermillion border can become chapped (dry and cracked), whereas the mucous membrane and the facial skin do not. Propose as many reasons as you can to explain why the vermillion border is more prone to drying than the mucous membrane or facial skin.
