Chapter 3, Problem 13RQ
Which of the following is a feature common to all three components of the cytoskeleton?
- They all serve to scaffold the organelles within the cell.
- They are all characterized by roughly the same diameter.
- They are all
polymers of protein subunits. - They all help the cell resist compression and tension.

Which of the following statements applies to all three major classes of cytoskeletal polymers (microtubules, actin filaments and intermediate filaments)?
They have intrinsic polarity
They assemble from protein subunits synthesized on free polyribosomes
They add subunits only at their ends
They are involved in cell motility
Their constituent proteins are tissue specific
Now assume that the protein you are making is one that is not destined to be secreted into the extracellular space, but instead is meant to function within the cytoplasm. How will the synthesis of these types of protein be different? Why?
Which of the following functions is NOT made possible by lysosomes?
Group of answer choices
breakdown of large molecules
synthesize in lipids
digest waste products
protect the cell from foreign invaders

- Certain cells in your pancreas make digestive enzymes that are secreted into ducts and carried to your small intestine. If you looked at these pancreatic cells with electron microscopy, you would expect to see numerous cilia on the cell surfaces. multiple nuclei per cell. large amounts of rough ER. few ribosomes but numerous vacuoles. large numbers of primary lysosomes.arrow_forwardWhat would happen to the cytoskeleton if you replaced all of the normal GTP in cells with a chemical variant of GTP that behaves in every way like normal GTP except that it cannot be hydrolyzed to GDP? It would prevent BOTH polymerization and depolymerization of microtubules. It would prevent microtubule polymerization. It would NOT affect EITHER polymerization or depolymerization of microtubules. It would prevent microtubule depolymerization.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding cytoskeletal filaments is FALSE? Microtubules will rapidly disassemble in response to a drop in the ATP concentration. G-actin monomers and alpha-tubulin/beta-tubulin dimers assemble into filaments in their ATP-bound and GTP-bound forms, respectively. Microtubules are stabilized by microtubule-binding proteins, such as Tau. Actin-binding proteins allow F-actin to assemble in cells in many different ways. Hydrolysis of ATP and GTP changes the conformation of the subunits once they are incorporated into actin filaments and microtubules, respectively.arrow_forward
