Question
Chapter 10.2, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The anchoring junctions for cell-to-cell junctions and cell-to-ECM junctions.
Introduction: In a multicellular organism, cells are linked to each other by specialized structures called cell junctions. Animal cells have a more varied group of cell junctions than plant cells, as they lack a cell wall. Three types of junctions are found between cells in animals. These are anchoring junctions, tight junctions and gap junctions.

- Which statements are true? Explain why or why not.1 Given the numerous processes inside cells thatare regulated by changes in Ca2+ concentration, it seemslikely that Ca2+-dependent cell–cell adhesions are alsoregulated by changes in Ca2+ concentration.2 Tight junctions perform two distinct functions:they seal the space between cells to restrict paracellularflow and they fence off plasma membrane domains toprevent the mixing of apical and basolateral membraneproteins.3 The elasticity of elastin derives from its high con-tent of α helices, which act as molecular springs.4 Integrins can convert mechanical signals intointracellular molecular signals.arrow_forwardSimilarly, what will be the effect on membrane potential if Cl- ions move into a cell?arrow_forwardLecture 6-Worksheet Part 1: Below are TWO ER bound proteins.

The scale bar under the photo is labeled 1 um. The scale bar works in the same way as a scale on a map, where, for example, 1 inch equals 1 mile. In this case the bar represents one thousandth of a millimeter. Using the scale bar as a basic unit, determine the diameter of the mature parent cell and the new cell. Start by measuring the scale bar and the diameter of each cell. The units you use are irrelevant, but working in millimeters is convenient. Divide each diameter by the length of the scale bar and then multiply by the scale bar's length value to give you the diameter in micrometers.arrow_forwardCleavage Ligand Precursor Receptor Inactive Receptor Active Cell Membrane 6.
