Summary Introduction
Several Archaea and Bacteria possess the ability to travel by swimming. Flagella, small rotating structures, is attached on the surface of the cell in several different locations. Movement by gliding is also observed in several Bacteria, however, only a small group has been well analyzed. Archaea showing gliding motility is not known.

- Q4arrow_forwardQ8. The tips of neuronal axons communicate with other nerve cells by releasing small molecules called neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters need to cross a very tiny pocket of fluid to reach the next neuron; the distance is about 0.001 times the length of the smallest axon in this lab. Could this happen through diffusion? Yes, because the neurotransmitters will want to reach their target neuron on the other side of the fluid pocket Yes, because the neurotransmitters are at high concentration near the diffusing axon and at low concentration next to the receiving neuron. No, because diffusing any distance takes a very long time, and neural communication has to happen rapidly. No, because diffusion does not work within very small spaces, only in large areas where there is room for the molecules to move.arrow_forwardPls help ASAParrow_forward
