Which of the following is the most fundamental feature that enables the cell to function as a distinct entity, separate from its environment? (a) nucleus (b) ribosomes (c) nucleic acids (d) plasma membrane (e) protein
(a) If you were to magnify a cell 10,000-fold (typical of the magnification achievedusing an electron microscope), how big would it appear? Assume you are viewing a“typical” eukaryotic cell with a cellular diameter of 50 μm.(b) If this cell were a muscle cell (myocyte), how many molecules of actin could ithold? Assume the cell is spherical and no other cellular components are present; actinmolecules are spherical, with a diameter of 3.6 nm. (c) If this were a liver cell (hepatocyte) of the same dimensions, how manymitochondria could it hold? Assume the cell is spherical; no other cellular components arepresent; and the mitochondria are spherical, with a diameter of 1.5 μm
