You're studying secretion of antibodies by B-cells. B-cells are immune cells that make antibodies (antibodies are proteins) and secrete them outside of the cell (in other words, the protein is made in the cell, and is 'spit' out). Given the B-cell's role as antibody secreter what organelles do you expect to see in large amounts/volume within the cell? What type of transport is antibody secretion? Does the secretion of antibody require energy (ie., is this type of transport "active")?

Cells transporting substances across their membranes is essential. Choose TWO of the following types of cellular transport. ๏osmosis ๏active transport (b)Using the same transport types, identify a specific cell that utilizes that type of transit (i.e. one cell for each transport type, or two different cell examples), and detail a substance that is transferred. (c)A typical human lymphocyte has a radius of about 10 μm, while a typical bacterium (e.g., S. pneumoniae) has a radius of about 1 μm. Assuming that both cell types are perfectly spherical, compare and contrastthe transport mechanisms for each of these cells.
Monocytes are powerful phagocytes. Skeletal muscle fibers do mechanical work. Goblet secrete mucus. In each of these 3 cases, decide which cellular organelle (s) must be present in great abundance in order to accomplish the functions described and indicate how these organelles are involved.
Which of the following is not true about phagocytosis?(a) It is a form of exocytosis.(b) It is energy dependent.(c) It only occurs in eukaryotes.(d) A larger cell engulfs a smaller cell that will eventually bepresent in an internal vacuole.(e) It requires fusion of internal lysosomes to engulfed vac-uole for contents to be digested

To fight infection, leukocytes move rapidly from the blood into sites of infection in the tissues. What is this process called? How are adhesion molecules involved in this process?
As we age our skin becomes thin and easily tears. One potential reason to explain would be if adjacent cells within the skin lose the ability to attach to each other strongly. Another reason could be that cells lose the ability to attach strongly to the extracellular matrix. Compare and contrast these membrane functions and suggest which proteins might be “lost” as we age to cause the loss of attachment function in each scenario
