Chapter 5.5, Problem 3RIA
Summary Introduction
Ribosomes are large complex molecular structure composed of RNA and protein molecules. They are present in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes and they are mainly involved in the synthesis of protein. Eukaryotic ribosomes can be either attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or found free in the cytoplasm. Both ER-bound ribosomes and free ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis.

- Topic: Benthic invertebrates as an indicator species for climate change, mapping changes in ecosystems (Historical Analysis & GIS) What objects or events has the team chosen to analyze? How does your team wish to delineate the domain or scale in which these objects or events operate? How does that limited domain facilitate a more feasible research project? What is your understanding of their relationships to other objects and events? Are you excluding other things from consideration which may influence the phenomena you seek to understand? Examples of such exclusions might include certain air-born pollutants; a general class of water bodies near Ottawa, or measurements recorded at other months of the year; interview participants from other organizations that are involved in the development of your central topic or issue.

A researcher created a group of osteoblasts with an Esp mutation that prevented the production of a functional Esp product (mutant). The researcher then exposed the mutant strain and a normal strain that expresses Esp to glucose and compared the levels of insulin in the blood near the osteoblasts (Figure 2). Which of the following claims is most consistent with the data shown in Figure 2 ? A Esp expression is necessary to prevent the overproduction of insulin.
