Exam 4: Cell Structure

If you were to use antibodies that were chemically bonded to a stain in order to visualize the expression pattern of a protein in a fixed tissue, what experimental techniques and equipment would be applicable?

Matthew noticed that his house plants were wilting badly.Which cell structure had most likely contracted?

A protein that is destined to reach the plasma membrane is making its way through the Golgi.At that moment, a drug was added to cells, blocking trafficking at the trans face of the Golgi.As a result, what would happen to the protein?

Individuals that are heavy smokers may eventually have trouble clearing the mucous from their lungs because the structures that move fluid along the epithelial lining of the lung become damaged over time.What are these structures called?

Organelles that breakdown hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen are:

Peroxisomes are examples of:

Your research project involves characterizing the expression pattern of a nuclear pore protein.After using immunohistochemistry to fluorescently label the protein, you decide that you would like to capture the data as a 3-D image.Which microscope should you use?

Many antibiotics kill bacteria because they hinder translation by prokaryotic _____.

Scientists believe that stimulating growth of algae and other organisms can reduce carbon dioxide amounts in the atmosphere.Where is carbon dioxide consumed in a plant cell?

When looking at plant and animal cells with an electron microscope, you notice that the plant cells have more Golgi membranes than the animal cells.This is most likely because unlike in animal cells, in plant cells the Golgi apparatus is involved in the production of:

The organelle that can collect, package, modify, and transport molecules is called the:

When a vesicle moves along microtubules toward the center of the cell, the molecular motor(s) _____ are used?

The nucleolus is the site of:

Some of the functions of the eukaryotic organelles are performed in bacteria by the:rev: 02_28_2015_QC_CS-9326

Small cells function more effectively, because as cells become larger their surface area to volume ratio:

A cuboidal shaped cell with six sides is 1mm X 1mm X 1mm.What is the volume and the surface area of the cell?

Glycogen Storage Disease Type II (GSD II), also known as Pompe disease, is a metabolic disorder that leads to the accumulation of glycogen in muscles and neurons throughout the body.It is caused by a defect in an enzyme that is normally housed with other enzymes that are involved in breaking down large macromolecules.What organelle is most likely affected by this disease?

The distinctive feature of chloroplasts is that they contain a green pigment called:

Ribosomes are made up of:

Integrins are glycoproteins that help link the cytoskeleton and the:
