You have been asked to do a strucutural study to understand how increasing cell surface area affects cell size, cell shape and functions. What cell type would help you most efficiently observe the effects of increasing surface area?
Choices:
A. Monocytes from the blood serum. Monocytes are largely roughly spherical cells.
B. Red Blood cells from the bone marrow. The shape of Red blood cells is a biconcave disk and looks like a donut.
C. Stem cells from skin. In this case assume a skin stem cell is flat and plate like.
D. Microvilli covered cells from the intestines. Microvilli are tiny hair like protrusions in the plasma membrane of intestinal cells that increase the absorption of nutrients in the intestines.
Early in their development, tunicates (sea squirts) have 8 cells. Ultimately these 8 cells will give rise to all the tissue types in their bodies. Design and explain an experiment through which you could determine whether the specification of these 8 cells to specific body parts is cell autonomous or conditional.
In a healthy cell, which of the following proteins will be activated in order to suppress cell division if the cell is not ready or should not divide?
Select one:
a.
p53
b.
cdk
c.
cyclin
d.
seperase
e.
mitogen
