12) Match the cell-cell junction on the left with the appropriate function on the right. Note that
more than one letter may apply for a particular function and that each letter may be used more
than once or not at all.
A) Gap junctions
provides a very strong attachment point
between cells
B) Desmosomes
allow easy movement of large amounts of
substances between adjacent cells
C) Plasmodesmata
seals the plasma membranes of adjacent
cells together, preventing the movement of molecules
between them
D) Tight junctions
2) Explain how the following cell transport systems work moving materials around inside the cell and other functions. Focus on structure and function, and Include how energy is used to accomplish these movements.
A)Tubulin/Kinesin
B)Actin/Myosin
List and describe the three main types of cytoskeleton. If you wanted to do immunocytochemistry to specifically stain each type of cytoskeleton, what is a protein that could be used for each cytoskeletal type (in other words, what is a unique protein for each cytoskeletal type)?
What are three types of actin structures? Describe the involvement of actin structures in cell migration.
How is the growth and shrinking of microtubules regulated? Then describe the roles of microtubules in: chromosomal separation during mitosis and the movement of organelles and vesicles within a cell.
Describe a possible mechanism on how signaling pathways might impact the cytoskeleton, so that cell migration could be regulated in a localized manner within a multicellular organism. (hint: think about the possible transcriptional regulation of the G-protein regulators)
What are 2 main challenges of protein targeting? Then describe one way these challenges are overcome during signal-based targeting and one way…
