Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Various types of proteins are synthesized by the cell organelles because protein not only forms the structural components of the cell but also performs the enzymatic activity.

A fluorescent molecule of 2000 daltons is microinjected into a single cell of an epithelial layer. When the layer is examined in a fluorescence microscope, the molecule remains confined to that cell. However, when a fluorescent molecule of 800 daltons is injected into a single cell of an epithelial layer, it quickly appears in the adjacent cells. Which of the following is responsible for the spread of the smaller molecule? 1. A) Desmosomes (maculae adherentes) 2. B) Focal contacts 3. C) Gap junctions 4. D) Intermediate junctions 5. E) Tight junctions (zonulae occludentes)
You're studying secretion of antibodies by B-cells. B-cells are immune cells that make antibodies (antibodies are proteins) and secrete them outside of the cell (in other words, the protein is made in the cell, and is 'spit' out). Given the B-cell's role as antibody secreter what organelles do you expect to see in large amounts/volume within the cell? What type of transport is antibody secretion? Does the secretion of antibody require energy (ie., is this type of transport "active")?
