Chapter 10, Problem 1Q
Working with 3-D TEM often involves the difficult activity of mentally reconstructing a three-dimensional object from a series of two-dimensional sections of that object. Using serial-section TEM as a guide, from top to bottom, what would you expect would be the shapes of a series of two-dimensional slices through a cylinder resting on (1) its side, and (2) its end?

1- How would you describe the Lenski experiment and its significance? Could you provide a
concise explanation of the experiment in no more than half a page? Afterward, please
create a visual representation of the experiment using your own drawings. You can utilize
digital applications, such as Paint or tablet-based drawing tools, or hand-draw the diagram
and capture it in a photograph. The visual representation should be schematic in nature,
demonstrating the key components of the experiment. (you can draw the plates, bacteria
etc. I need an explanative image that created by YOU. Any screenshot is not allowed. You
can use paint, any application on your tablets or you can draw it by hand and take a
picture. You need to create a schematic diagram. Here is an example for schematic diagram):

The Paramecium, is large enough to allow the insertion of a microelectrode, thus permitting the
measurement of the electrical potential between the inside of the cell and the surrounding medium
(the membrane potential). The measured membrane potential is -35mV in a living cell.
What would happen if you added valinomycin to the surrounding medium which contains sodium
and potassium ions?

The movements of single motor-protein moleculescan be analyzed directly. Using polarized laser light, it ispossible to create interference patterns that exert a cen-trally directed force, ranging from zero at the center to afew piconewtons at the periphery (about 200 nm from thecenter). Individual molecules that enter the interferencepattern are rapidly pushed to the center, allowing them tobe captured and moved at the experimenter’s discretion.Using such “optical tweezers,” single kinesin mol-ecules can be positioned on a microtubule that is fixed toa coverslip. Although a single kinesin molecule cannotbe seen optically, it can be tagged with a silica bead andtracked indirectly by following the bead (Figure Q16–3A).In the absence of ATP, the kinesin molecule remains at thecenter of the interference pattern, but with ATP it movestoward the plus end of the microtubule. As kinesin movesalong the microtubule, it encounters the force of the inter-ference pattern, which simulates the load…
