When proteins move cargo throughout the cell, they do so via the (a) __________ of the cytoskeleton. These proteins are composed of double (b)_________ which allow roation. Each 'head' can attach to the microtubule when bound to (c)_____________ . When ATP is hydrolysed, there is a (d) ____________ where the angle of the head changes and the cargo moves along the microtubule. Then, the second head binds and the process repeats.

Secretory vesicles fuse with the cell membrane to release their contents to the outside of the cell. In this process, the membrane of the secretory vesicle becomes part of the cell membrane because small pieces of the membrane are continually added to the cell membrane, one would expect the cell membrane to become larger and larger as secretion continues. The cell membrane stays the same size, however. Explain how this happens.
In addition to providing support, the cytoskeleton immobilizes enzymes and moves organelles to suitable positions in the cytoplasm. What advantage do these circumstances have over allowing the cell contents to freely diffuse in the cytoplasm?

Cell in the pancreas produce insulin, a protein made to control glucose levels in blood stream. Therefore, which organell would be in larger quantities due to a pancreas cell's function? A Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum B) Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Mitochondrion Lysosome
Secretory vesicles containing insulin move to the plasma membrane at the cell surface and release the protein to neighboring blood capillaries. Which Cytoskeletal element is essential for this vesicle movement within a cell? Lamins Intermediate filaments Microtubules Microfilaments
The cytoplasm of a certain cell is composed of a solution that is 98% water, 2% solutes. Consider the solution shown in the beaker in this picture: FOOE OOS Foor solution. [Select] Cytoplasm is 98% water, 2% solutes. The solution in the beaker would be considered when compared to [Select] The plasma membrane is impermeable to solutes. Beaker solution is 98% water, 2% solutes the cell. We would expect that the cell would [Select] if it was placed in the would account for whatever changes might occur to the volume of the cytoplasm of the cell when it is placed in the solution.

Draw and label a cell lipid bilayer and diagram how the following transport processes take place: passive diffusion of oxygen into the cell, facilitated diffusion of potassium into the cell, active transport of sucrose into the cell. Using different symbols (circles for oxygen, squares for sucrose, and triangles for potassium ions), show the relative concentrations (gradients) of these substances on the inside and outside of the cell. For example, to show that oxygen enters the cell by going “down” its gradient, you would draw more circles on the outside of the cell than inside the cell. Be sure to show and label membrane proteins when appropriate, and show the electric membrane potential using “+”s (pluses) on one side and “-”s (minuses) on the other side of the membrane. Also show the proton pump which uses ATP as a source of energy.
Gaucher disease, caused by the inhibited digestion of lipids, results in the accumulation of fatty acids within many organs in the body and leads to their subsequent dysfunction. Which of the following describes the most likely subcellular component and related process responsible for the development of Gaucher disease? A B с D Lysosomes contain insufficient amounts of enzymes necessary for the metabolism of lipids. The Golgi complex produces vesicles with highly permeable membranes that cannot ef- fectively regulate the movement of particles. Mitochondria are not producing a sufficient amount of ATP required for the digestion of lipids. The rough endoplasmic reticulum contains an unusually high number of ribosomes, re- sulting in an overproduction of digestive enzymes.
