The highly regulated process of apoptosis is not simply the destruction of a cell; it is also an emergent property. Write a short essay that briefly explains the role of apoptosis in the development and proper functioning of an animal, and describe how this form of programmed cell death is a process that emerges from the orderly integration of signaling pathways.arrow_forwardChanges in intracellular Ca2+ is one of the main governing factors that determines the direction of plasticity (i.e., whether a synapse potentiates or depresses).

- Membrane proteins have six possible functions (transport, cell-cell adhesion, sensing signals, enzymatic activity, cell-cell recognition, and attachment to the cytoskeleton). Based on what you know about the entire synapse (which includes the presynaptic membrane, the synaptic cleft, and the postsynaptic membrane), which of those six functions appear to be happening at the synapse? For each specific function provide a specific example of that function and provide a specific example of that function at the synapse.arrow_forwardFish Cell Physiology Compare and contrast the movement of salt ion in the tissues of a living fish and the tissue of a dead fish, is it similar?
