Chapter 3, Problem 28MIC

Which of the cytoskeletal structures depicted provide resistance against mechanical stress (think about the disease that causes blistering of the skin with the slightest touch)?

What are the major elements of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton and what are their properties?  Which of these plays a major role in cell division?

Give the specific terms for the following:(a)Cluster of ribosome’s found in cytoplasm(b)Extensive in folding to the inner membrane of mitochondria.(c) Stacks of closely packed thylakoids(d)Stalked particles on the inner membrane of mitochondria.

Name three uniquely eukaryotic organelles or structural elements that primarily provide structural support. How are the things you named related (besides providing support), if at all?

What is the most abundant cytoskeletal protein?

List and describe the three main types of cytoskeleton. If you wanted to do immunocytochemistry to specifically stain each type of cytoskeleton, what is a protein that could be used for each cytoskeletal type (in other words, what is a unique protein for each cytoskeletal type)?

Consider two different proteins that are leaving from the Golgi in order to arrive in their common destination, a lysosome. In order for these two different proteins to be sent to the same place, what should they have in common? A) They must have the same primary structure B) They must have been imported into the cell by endocytosis. C) They must have the same tertiary structure D) They probably have the same glycosylation pattern. ..

List the three types of filaments associated with the cytoskeleton. Identify the structures in cells that are composed of microtubules.

What are the specific eukaryotic cell's cytoskeletal structure and their respective function(s). Choose only one species. For example, macrophage in humans.
