- Yeast cells are eukaryotes, and they require a functional secretory pathway to grow and to maintain cellular organization. But surprisingly, when SRP is removed from yeast cells by deleting the relevant genes, the cells are still alive (although they grow slowly). a) How can yeast survive without SRP? Propose two alternative hypotheses. b) How might electron microscopy of normal and SRP-deficient yeast cells help you to distinguish between these two hypotheses?arrow_forwardExplain why E is the correct choice. In eukaryotes, after the ribosomes complete a synthesis, one might expect a) a new protein molecule to appear inside the ER b) a protein to insert into the cell membrane, c) and increase in the amount of enzyme in the cell organelles, d) the primary, secondary and tertiary levels of protein structure would form inside the ER. e) All are possible.arrow_forwardAnticancer drugs that affect microtubules are often used in cancer treatment.
