- Please help me with this question. More than one answer may be correct. Intermediate filaments Options: A) are larger than 10nm in diameter B) have a hollow core C) include microtubules D) uses a filamentous monomers E) have multiple types of monomers they can be composed of.arrow_forwardAnalogs of hemidesmosomes are the focal contact sites, which are also sites where the cell attaches to the extracellular matrix. These junctions are prevalent in fibroblasts but largely absent in epithelial cells. on the other hand, hemidesmosomes are prevalent in epithelial cells but absent in fibroblasts. In focal contact sites, intracellular connections are made to actin filaments, whereas in hemidesmosomes connections are made to intermediate filaments. Why do you suppose these two different cell types attach differently to the extracellular matrix?arrow_forwardSHORT ANSWER.

They are homophilic proteins found in cell-cell adhesion. Answer the following. a. Explain what is meant by the term homophilic in this context. b. In what kind of cell-cell junction are cadherins found?arrow_forward
- Adherens junctions link together adjacent cells in an epithelial sheet through the lateral associations of numerous cadherin molecules. On their cytosolic surfaces these junctions are tied to the actin networks of the neighboring cells (see the figure), giving them the remarkable ability to sense mechanical stresses and generate biochemical signals that lead to an appropriate response. Each of the following statements accurately describes a property of this process of mechanotransduction EXCEPT: plasma membrane p120-catenin B-catenin a-catenin actin filaments cadherin vinculin CYTOSOL Choose one: ⒸA. Inhibition of myosin leads to a compensating increase in the size of an adherens junction. OB. Adherens junctions respond to mechanical stress by balancing the forces on adjacent cells. ⒸC. Adherens junctions sense tension and change behavior in response to mechanical stresses. OD. Artificially increased contractile stress in a cell increases the size of an adherens junction.arrow_forwardPlease help in answering this question - more than one answer may be correct: Cardiac muscle conducts myogenic signal in a manner similar to A) parasympathetic neurons B) single-unit smooth muscle C) motor neurons D) skeletal muscle E) multi-unit smooth musclearrow_forwardPlease help me with this question.
