Summary Introduction
Introduction: Collagen is the structural protein that forms large fibers that give the extracellular matrix its strength and elasticity. An important function of collagen is to provide tensile strength. Tensile strength is a measure of how much stretching force a material can bear without tearing apart. It is defined as the ability of a material to withstand stress before breaking.

Inside of skeletal muscle cells are voltage-controlled calcium ion (Ca2+) gate proteins. These are integral for the contraction mechanisms of skeletal muscle. A picture of them is shown below.
These are regulated by voltage, as indicated above. How would voltage serve to open or close these gates?
Voltage is a component of hydrogen bonds, which is necessary to maintain the secondary structure of the protein; without voltage, the protein starts to chemically degrade.
Voltage actually does not serve as the direct mechanism of opening or closing gated proteins.
Changing the voltage changes whether the R groups are charged or not, which alters the actual primary structure of the protein
Changing voltage changes the nature of the tertiary structure, causing the protein to change its shape to open or close.

You treat fibroblasts with cytochalasin, which inhibits microfilaments, or colchicine, which inhibits microtubules, and observe the following: In controls, the cells migrate in a directed way, elongating as they go. With cytochalasin treatment, the cells completely stop migrating while with colchicine treatment, the cells attempt to migrate in several directions at once. The best conclusion for this is: A Cytochalasin prevents cell migration and colchicine prevents directed cell migration. B. Microfilaments are necessary for cell migration and microtubules are necessary for directionality of migration. C. Microfilaments are necessary for cell migration and microtubules are sufficient for…arrow_forward

Which structure of the plant cell gives the cell its rigid, defined shape? b.Is this structure found in animal (cheek) cells?arrow_forwardTumors associated with breast cancer usually arise from either epithelial cells or fibroblasts. Because optimal treatment differs depending on the cellular origin of the tumor, it’s important for doctors to determine which cell type is present in a tumor. Unfortunately, the distinctive morphology of epithelial cells is lost when they become cancerous, so this determination cannot be made based on cell shape alone. How might determination of the class(es) of intermediate filaments present in tumor cells aid a doctor in figuring out which cell type is involved in the tumor?arrow_forwardExplain how cofilin distinguish old filaments from new ones.arrow_forward
