Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: What happens to the cells when injected with large amounts of purified gelsolin.
Introduction: Gelsolin is a member of a family, villin. Gelsolin is a protein which binds to the actin filament and helps in its assembly and disassembly.
(b)
To determine: What happens to the cell when cells treated with latrunculin A, and the drug is washed out.
Introduction: Latrunculin A is a drug, extracted from the Latrunculia magnifica, which is a Red Sea Sponge. This drug affects the
(c)
To determine: The direction of the point of arrowhead-shaped decorations, in which the cells are treated with a chemical fixative and prepared for electron microscopy.
Introduction: Chemical fixatives are used to fix the structures in a state by preventing its biochemical reactions. Fixation is the crucial step in sample preparation for microscopy.
