Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 18TYK
Cilia are found on cells in almost every organ of the human body, and the malfunction of cilia is involved in several human disorders. During embryological development, for example, cilia generate a leftward flow of fluid that initiates the left-right organization of the body organs. Some individuals with primary ciliary dyskinesia (see Module 4.18 checkpoint question) exhibit a condition (situs inversus) in which internal organs such as the heart are on the wrong side of the body. Explain why this reversed arrangement may be a symptom of PCD.

Part || – An Unexpected Visitor
After Ivy was finished meeting with Dr. Alvarez, she didn't feel like going back to her dorm room where her room-
mates were waiting to hear from her. She decided to process her diagnosis at the local coffee shop. Curling up in an
oversized chair with a warm cookie and peppermint hot cocoa with whipped cream always made her feel better. Sitting
alone would give her time to think. How could something so important go so wrong in her cells? How did cells get
or make the mitochondria anyway? Obviously, cells could survive without mitochondria if they had to, so why had
mitochondria evolved in the first place?
Just then, Ali, a fellow student in her biology class who made it a point to sit near her each class, walked over to strike
up a conversation. "Hi Ivy! Whať's up?"
Trying to avoid conversation, Ivy simply shrugged and mumbled, “Not much."
Ali gave her a big smile and said "I've noticed that you take good notes in bio, would you want to study together...…
Why do you think apoptosis occurs by a different mechanism from the cell death that occurs in necrosis? What might be the consequences if apoptosis were not achieved in such a neat and orderly fashion, whereby the cell destroys itself fron within and avoids leakage of its contents into the extracellular space?
Which of the following is not true about phagocytosis?(a) It is a form of exocytosis.(b) It is energy dependent.(c) It only occurs in eukaryotes.(d) A larger cell engulfs a smaller cell that will eventually bepresent in an internal vacuole.(e) It requires fusion of internal lysosomes to engulfed vac-uole for contents to be digested
