- if you visualize the cytoskeleton of a cell that is expanding in one direction, you typically observed a strong orientation of the cytoskeleton. Please answer the following three questions. a. Would the cytoskeleton be oriented parallel or perpendicular to the direction of cell expansion? b. Would the cellulose fibers in the cell wall be parallel or perpendicular to the cytoskeleton? c. Explain why cytoskeleton, cellulose fibers, and direction of cell expansion have the relationship mentioned in a and b?arrow_forward1. Lysosome is regarded as a body that is covered by membrane, a little smaller than mitochondrion and functions as storage for several hydrolytic enzymes. The enzymes in lysosome can digest substances that are engulfed by the cell and under certain conditions can destroy the cell itself. (a) Name ONE type of cell in the human body that contains many lysosomes. Explain why the cell contains many lysosomes. (b) State ONE different between the lysosome membrane and the mitochondrion membrane. (c) State ONE special feature of the lysosome membrane. (d) Explain how lysosome acts to release its enzymes in the cell.arrow_forwardThere are many organelles that appear similar to lysosomes yet they are endocytotic vesicles. What is the accepted histochemical method to unequivocally identify a lysosome from other similar appearing organelles?arrow_forward
- Many of the cell’s hydrolytic enzymes are located in the lysosome, where the pH is ∼5. What would you expect to be the optimum pH for these enzymes, and why would this protect the rest of the cell from the destructive power of these enzymes upon the accidental rupture of a lysosome?arrow_forwardNow 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?arrow_forwardCompare and contrast lysosomes with peroxisomes:name at least two similarities and one differencearrow_forward
- -Mature parent cell Budding- cell 1 μη Test II. Examine the micrograph of the yeast cells. 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_forwardDetermine whether each statement below is true or faslse: A centrosome consists of 9 triplets of centrioloes oriented at 90 degree angles.
