Chapter 41, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Muscles are defined as soft tissues that are found in humans and animals. There are three types of muscles found in humans such as skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle. It contains filament protein such as actin and myosin that are responsible for the contraction of the muscle. Muscles also help to produce force and motion.

Answer to Problem 1MC

Correct answer:

Structures that range from largest to smallest are muscle, muscle fiber, myofibril, thick and thin filaments. Therefore, option (d) is correct.

Option (d) is given as “muscle, muscle fiber, and myofibril, thick and thin filaments”.

Explanation of Solution

Justify reasons for the correct statement:

Muscle cells are soft tissue and are composed of thick and thick filaments that are attached to each other and form cross-bridge and cause muscle contraction. Muscle fibers are surrounded by a plasma membrane called sarcolemma and they also contain cytoplasm called sarcoplasm. Each muscle fiber contains parallel cylindrical myofibrils and is found in striated muscle. Muscle fibers contain multinucleated cells and these cells combine together to form muscle. Myofibril is surrounded by specialized reticulum called sarcoplasmic reticulum. The thick and thin filaments are myosin and actin. Actin filament contains two accessory proteins such as troponin and tropomyosin.

Hence, option (d) is correct.

Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (a) is given as “motor unit, muscle, myofibril, muscle fiber, thick and thin filament”.

Motor unit is formed when motor neuron synapses with multiple muscle fibers in a single muscle. It consists of motor neuron and skeletal muscle fibers. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (b) is given as “muscle, muscle cell, myofibril, muscle fiber, actin, and myosin”.

Muscle is a part of the skeletal system which includes all the structures such as muscle cell, myofibril, muscle fiber, and actin and myosin filament. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (c) is given as “muscle cell, thick and thin filaments, sarcomeres, myofibril”.

Muscle cell, thick and thin filaments, sarcomeres and myofibril are the structures that together form a muscle cell. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (a), (b), and (c) are incorrect.

Conclusion

Muscle is a soft tissue, which is made of myofibrils, muscle cells, and fibers, a thick and thin filament such as actin and myosin.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for?  3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
There is currently a H5N1 cattle outbreak in North America. According to the CDC on Feb 26*: "A multistate outbreak of HPAI A(H5N1) bird flu in dairy cows was first reported on March 25, 2024. This is the first time that these bird flu viruses had been found in cows. In the United States, since 2022, USDA has reported HPAI A(H5N1) virus detections in more than 200 mammals." List and describe two mechanisms that could lead to this H5N1 influenza strain evolving to spread in human:  Mechanisms 1: Mechanisms 2: For the mutations to results in a human epidered they would need to change how the virus interacts with the human host. In the case of mutations that may promote an epidemic, provide an example for: a protein that might incur a mutation: how the mutation would change interactions with cells in the respiratory tract (name the receptor on human cells) List two phenotypic consequence from this mutation that would increase human risk
You have a bacterial strain with the CMU operon: a) As shown in the image below, the cmu operon encodes a peptide (Pep1), as well as a kinase and regulator corresponding to a two-component system. The cmu operon is activated when Pep 1 is added to the growth media. Pep1 is a peptide that when added extracellularly leads to activation of the Cmu operon. Pep1 cmu-kinase cmu-regulator You also have these genetic components in other strains: b) An alternative sigma factor, with a promoter activated by the cmu-regulator, that control a series of multiple operons that together encode a transformasome (cellular machinery for transformation). c) the gene cl (a repressor). d) the promoter X, which includes a cl binding site (and in the absence of cl is active). e) the gene gp (encoding a green fluorescence protein). Using the cmu operon as a starting point, and assuming you can perform cloning to rearrange any of these genomic features, how would you use one or more of these to modify the…
