CU: Structure and Function
In the 1800s two scientists, Theodor Schwann and Matthias Schleiden, studied
different types of organisms. After many years of studying a great variety of
organisms, they drew similar but independent conclusions about their observations.
Schwann studied
animals and concluded
that all animals are
made of cells.
Schleiden studied
plants and concluded
that all plants are
made of cells.
What statement was developed most directly from these conclusions and is part of
the modern cell theory?
Cells contain hereditary information.
O Cells exist only in multicellular organisms.
The functions of living things occur in cells.
Living things are composed of cells.

Binding to other cells via cytoskelletonarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements related to intercellular junctions is false? Cadherins are important cell-cell adhesion proteins. A cadherin-mediated junction involves many cadherin molecules to achieve strong adhesion. The cytoplasmic domain of cadherins interacts with actin or intermediate filament cytoskeleton through adaptor proteins. Because tight junctions seal the membrane of adjacent epithelial cells, transmembrane proteins in the apical portion of the plasma membrane cannot move to the basal lateral domain or vice versa. Proteins can diffuse through an open gap junction.arrow_forward
