Summary Introduction

The cells that consist of membrane-bound organelles, and nucleus and it is enclosed by a plasma membrane is called eukaryotic cells. Organisms that possess eukaryotic cells are called eukaryotic organism. For example, fungi, protozoa, and animals. The most prominent external structure observed in the cells of eukaryotes is referred to as flagella and cilia. They are important for motility.

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…
Some scientists claim that prokaryotes like bacteria have membrane bound organelles, like chromatophores, anammoxosomes and magnetosomes. What really is the truth because it is widely known that prokaryotes do not have membrane bound organelles. Are these claims true or merely speculative? If this is true, what is the physiological basis for this?
Answer the following questions about the cell membrane; a) How are the phospholipids in the structure of the cell membrane called due to their tendency towards water?b) How do you interpret the transitions of lipophilic and hydrophilic substances that will pass through the cell membrane and the energy requirement in this context?c) State some of the features that cross the cell membrane and make "porin proteins" specific.d) Briefly clarify the concepts of "acylation", "prenylation" and "GPI stabilizer" in the context of membrane protein interactions.e) When determining ABO Blood Groups, give information about which blood group data can be obtained depending on the interaction of which antigens in the red blood cell and which antibodies in the serum.
