Which is the definition of 'retrograde' with respect to membrane trafficking? movement from the endosome to the lysosome movement from the ER to the Golgi to either the plasma membrane or the endosome/lysosome movement from the cytoplasm to the nucleus movement from the Golgi to the ER
Using the answer code on the right, indicate which membrane component is responsible for the function in question: 1. channel formation____________________________________ (a) lipid bilayer 2. barrier to passage of water- __________________ (b) proteins soluble substances ____________________________________ (c) carbohydrates 3. receptor sites 4. membrane fluidity 5. recognition of self 6. membrane-bound enzymes 7. structural boundary 8. carriers
An individual transport vesicle will fuse with only one type of membrane O is enclosed by a membrane with the same lipid and protein composition as the membrane of the docking membrane is endocytic if its traveling toward the plasma membrane contains only one type of protein in its lumen
Neurons have long thin processes called axons, structuresspecialized for conducting signals throughout the organism’s nervous system. Some axonal processes can be as long as 2 m—for example, the axons that originate in your spinal cord and terminate in the muscles of your toes. Small membrane-enclosed vesicles carrying materials essential to axonal function move along microtubules of the cytoskeleton, from the cell body to the tips of the axons. If the average velocity of a vesicle is 1 μm/s, how long does it take a vesicle to move from a cell body in the spinal cord to the axonal tip in the toes?
A transmembrane protein has the following properties: it has two binding sites, one for solute A and one for solute b. The protein can undergo a conformational change to switch between two states: either both binding sites are exposed exclusively on one side of the membrane or both binding sites are exposed exclusively on the other side of the membrane. The protein can switch between the two conformational states only if both binding sites are occupied or if both binding sites are empty, but cannot switch if only one binding site is occupied. What kind of protein do these properties define?

The protein can switch between the two conformational states only if both binding sites are occupied or if both binding sites are empty, but cannot switch if only one binding site is occupied. Do you need to specify any additional properties to turn this protein into a symport that couples the movement of solute A up its concentration gradient to the movement of solute b down its electrochemical gradient?

Integrins are important in cell crawling because they anchor the leading edge of the cell to the surface it is moving over they are receptors for diffusible chemical ligands that determine the direction the cell will move in they cross-link actin filaments to microtubules and intermediate filaments of the cytoskeleton they serve as nucleating sites for polymerization of new actin filaments
