If you wanted to do immunocytochemistry to specifically stain each type of cytoskeleton, what is a protein that could be used for each cytoskeletal type (in other words, what is a unique protein for each cytoskeletal type)? What are three types of actin structures? Describe the involvement of actin structures in cell migration. How is the growth and shrinking of microtubules regulated? Then describe the roles of microtubules in: chromosomal separation during mitosis and the movement of organelles and vesicles within a cell. Describe a possible mechanism on how signaling pathways might impact the cytoskeleton, so that cell migration could be regulated in a localized manner within a multicellular organism.

- Since prokaryotes don't have microtubules, how does intracellular movement occur? For an example, how do proteins move to their designaed area within a prokaryote? Also, since they do not have a golgi apparatus, how are proteins processed and distrubuted thorughout the cell? Is the DNA different in prokaryotes that give it different instructions than what you would see in eukaryotes? Please help me understand this a bit more. Thank you. I'm not sure why Bartlby is saying my question looks like a graded assignment question. I guess I sound too professional lolarrow_forwardIf the diameter of the field of view in your microscope is 2 mm under low power, and one Bacillus cell is 2 µm long, how many Bacillus cells would it take to reach all the way across this field of view? If yeast cells measure 10 µm in length, how many yeast cells would it take to reach across this same field of view?arrow_forwardThe endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus are both membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells. Which statement describes one way in which the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus work together? The Golgi apparatus assembles mRNA, and the endoplasmic reticulum translates them into proteins. The endoplasmic reticulum assembles mRNA molecules, and the Golgi apparatus translates them into proteins. The Golgi apparatus assembles proteins, and the endoplasmic reticulum modifies and packages them. The endoplasmic reticulum assembles proteins and the Golgi apparatus modifies and packages them.arrow_forward
- Cell motility has been described as being like the motion of tank treads. At the leading edge, actin filaments form rapidly into bundles and networks that make protrusions and move the cell forward. At the rear, cell adhesions are broken and the tail end of the cell is brought forward. What provides the traction for moving cells? How does cell-body translocation happen? How are cell adhesions released as cells move forward?arrow_forwardA eukaryotic cell contains an organelle of prominent genetic importance that prokaryotic cells and virsues lack.

- Some studies showed that bacteria compartmentalize many cellular processes into subcellular structures, including organelles. Is it possible that prokaryotes really do have membrane bound organelles?arrow_forwardSome scientists claim that prokaryotes like bacteria have membrane bound organelles, like chromatophores, anammoxosomes and magnetosomes. What really is the truth because it is widely known that prokaryotes do not have membrane bound organelles. Are these claims true or merely speculative?
