Imagine that you are working in a pharmaceutical lab testing the effects of novel compounds on immune cells called macrophages. You discover one that causes an increase in the size and extension of the pseudopods that initiate amoeboid cell movement. This compound most likely: Inhibits tubulin's catalytic activity Increases tubulin's catalytic activity Inhibits actin's catalytic activity Increases actin's catalytic activity

A group of students wanted to learn how the concentration of copper in water affects the survival
Salty snacks like peanuts and pretzels can often be found for free at gatherings where beverages are for sale. Vendors hope that the salty snacks will make consumers thirsty so they will purchase something to drink. Why does this work? 1. The salty snacks makes people restless, so they desire some water to make them calmer. 2. The salt in the body creates a hypertonic solution around cells, which causes water to diffuse out of cells and make them crenate. 3. The salt in the body creates a hypotonic solution around cells, which causes water to diffuse into cells and make them cytolyse. 4. The salt in the body creates an isotonic solution around cells, which causes water to diffuse into and out of cells which makes them unstable.
