Which of the following statements is true: Gap junctions share plasmamembrane between two adjoining cells Plasmodesmata connect only epidermal cells in a plant body. Tight junctions allow the exchange of molecules between two adjoining cells. A desmotubulus connects two cells through a plasmodesmata. A desmosome provides a highly dynamic structure that allows adjoining cell to move in a coordinated fashion. Adherens junctions are coupled to the microfilament system.

The protein collagen is manufactured and secreted by skin cells. Collagen provides strength and elasticity between cells. What would be the result if during the manufacture of collagen, there was a defect in its ER signal? (Select all) Question 8 options: The primary structure would never get completed. The primary structure would get completed but the secondary and tertiary structures would not be completed. The malformed collagen would end up exiting the cell. The malformed collagen would end up in the cytoplasm. The malformed collagen would end up in a vesicle.

Which of the following most accurately describes tight junctions? They allow adjacent cells to share tensile stress by linking their intermediate filament cytoskeletons They allow adjacant cells to control the passage of molecules between them They bind actin filaments and assist cells to crawl They allow cells to directly exchange small molecules with adjacent cells
The plant wall allows for plant cells to swell under large internal pressure, what membrane lined passage allows for rapid movement of polar molecules between cells?
A fabric company wants to create a new material based on cell research for the army that is able to bear high levels of tension efficiently. What cellular structure should be the target? Microtubules O Intermediate filaments O Actin filaments O Centriols O Pili
If a cell increases the activity of its actin severing proteins, will it lead in the short term to MORE or LESS actin polymer mass? Chose the most accurate answer. Increased severing activity will result in LESS polymer under any conditions. Increased severing activity will result in NO CHANGE in the total amount of polymer under any conditions. It simply results in a larger number of smaller filaments. Increased severing activity will result in MORE polymer under any conditions. If the concentration of free actin monomers is below the Cc for both the plus and minus ends, then MORE polymer will result. If the concentration of free actin monomers is above the Cc for both the plus and minus ends, then LESS polymer will result. If the concentration of free actin monomers is above the Cc for both the plus and minus ends, then MORE polymer will result. If the concentration of free actin monomers is below the Cc for both the plus and minus ends, then LESS polymer will result.
Plasmodesmata in plant cells are most similar in function to which of the following structures in animal cells? Extracellular mix Peroxisomes Desmosomes Tight junctions Gap junctions
Most cells are linked together forming a tissue and membrane junctions are important factors in this phenomenon. Compare and contrast the structure and function of a tight junction versus a desmosome versus a gap junction.
Most adjacent plant cells are connected by plasmodesmata, whereas only certain adjacent animal cells are connected through gap junctions. What might account for this difference?
Which of the following properties are shared by desmosomes and hemidesmosomes? Select all that apply. They both are protein structures found in eukaryotic cells They both bind extracellular matrix proteins They both bind to intermediate filaments They both bind to acti filaments
Cadherin molecules are adhesion molecules found on the cell surface. These molecules are often clustered side-to-side to create a form of molecular Velcro that attaches one cell to another cell or to the extracellular matrix. In the following drawings, two cells are initially attached via such a Velcro. When one of the cells moves in either of three different ways (A to C), it is faced with a mechanical resistance from the cadherin interactions. The resistance against which type of movement do you think is the weakest? Two neighboring cells D. The cell moves away from its neighbor A. Two neighboring cells B. The cell moves away from its neighbor OC. The cell slides past its neighbor D. The cell rolls over its neighbor The cell slides past its neighbor C The cell rolls over its neighbor
Which of the following are characteristics of both actin filaments and microtubules? Select all that apply They have structural polarity Their filaments undergo treadmilling Capping proteins affect length and stability of the filament The monomers bind ATP and spontaneously form polymers
