Consider the artificial cell experiment below:
Lactose = 2.0 M
Ca+ = 0.4 M
The ion channels in the membrane will allow Ca+ to pass freely,
but nothing else. The starting conditions for the experiment are
shown.
Lactose = 0.1 M
Ca+ = 3.0 M
Rewrite the following statement to make it correct:
"Eventually, there will be a net movement of water out of the
cell because the inside of the cell is hypotonic compared to the
environment."

Paragraph
A researcher is isolating proteins from a cell via different techniques. They find that when the cell is ground with a blender, all of the proteins in the cell can be extracted. However if instead the cell membranes are agitated in a 1.2 M KCl mixture, only about 70% of the total protein is extracted.What class of membrane proteins are in this soluble extract and what forces normally hold them to the membrane?What class of membrane proteins are the 30% of proteins that remain behind, and what forces hold these proteins in the membrane?
If a solution of ionic solids was not available, what other solvent systems could be used to extract these proteins?

- Experiment I: Scientists took two types of human epithelial cells and placed them in an experimental system that could measure intracellular (IN) and extracellular concentration (OUT) of 3 substances: Na+, ATP and Glucose. Cell type A was nonmutant whereas cell type B had a mutation in a transmembrane protein. At the beginning, middle and end of the experiment, concentrations were measured for all three substances as shown below. Cell type A (non-mutant) Time IN [Na+] 0 10 ms 20 ms Concentration in mM 200 150 100 150mM 25mM 150mM Q1.

Graph the extracellular concentration changes in this data set using the graph below right and the same key.

In one cell, you fluorescently label all the X proteins. In another cell, you label all the Y proteins. When you perform FRAP analysis on both cells, you find that most of the protein X fluorescence has recovered within 3 minutes, but recovery of the protein Y fluorescence is significantly slower. Even after 10 minutes, only 50% of the protein Y fluorescence has recovered. Describe the FRAP experimental protocol, explain what the results tell you about mobility of the X and Y proteins, and propose a possible explanation for why the mobilities of the two proteins differ.arrow_forward

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 neighborarrow_forwardTo get an idea of the different sizes of various cellular components, do the following calculations: Assume that the cell, its nucleus, and a globular protein – for example, and enzyme – are spherical. In addition, assume the diameter of the protein is 5 nm (nanometers), the diameter of the cell is 100 μm (micrometers), and the diameter of the nucleus is 40 μm. You may have to review your metric conversions! If you draw the globular protein as a sphere with a diameter of 2 cm (approximately the diameter of a U.S. penny), what size would each of the following measurements of the cell be if drawn to the same scale (5 nm real length = 2 cm)? a. The radius of a microtubule, 15 nm b. The diameter of the nucleus c. The diameter of the cell d. The volume (V = 4/3 ∏r3) of the globular protein, in decimal form to the hundredths place. e. The volume of the nucleus f. The volume of the cellarrow_forward

(Note that essential refers to their essence or scent and does not imply that these substances are necessary for health.) One of the components of lavender oil is shown below. Based on its structure, could this molecule diffuse through the cell membrane of a skin cell after the oil was applied to the skin surface?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are correct about how the complex biological matrix of the cell may affect protein folding, stability and function (select all that appy)? A. ATP tends to "bounce" along the surfaces of many proteins without forming a stable complex B. Proteins make up approximately 30% of the total volume of the cytoplasm in a typical cell C. Compettition between drug molecules and metabolites in the cytoplasm may cause unexpected drug side effects not seen with individual proteins in solution. D. Large protein complexes move faster through the cytoplasm than small metabolites. E. Complex intercations between proteins in the cell may significantly destabilize a protein compared to the isolated protein in waterarrow_forward
