Many eukaryote cells are NOT able to synthesize (make their own) the amino acids that they require to conduct life processes. When such a cell is placed in an aqueous (water) solution containing the 20 essential amino acids, one would expect that a) nothing would happen. b) amino acids would be moved into the cell by specific membrane transport proteins. c) H2O would dissolve in the membrane. d) the cell would make Glucose into amino acids. e) the cell would divide.

While performing fluorescent microscopy to observe the transport of bulk molecules into a cell a researcher uses a green, fluorescent bulk protein and a red fluorescent dye to stain the cell membrane. If the cell has the ability to transport the bulk proteins into the cell, what would we expect to see in the microscope when the images are merged? What would we expect to see if the cell did not have the ability to transport the bulk protein?
