Concept explainers
To determine:
The evident major theme for the statement given in the book “the combined actions of many different proteins determine whether a cell will divide or not” and also explain how the statement relates to the theme.
Introduction:
In cell division, the cell divides and produces two daughter cells. The cell shows two major types of division: mitosis and meiosis. The events of the cell cycle are controlled by various protein interactions, which is essential for the growth of cells. This interaction of protein to control the cell division is called as cell cycle control system or checkpoints. The checkpoints present between the two phases of the cell cycle that directs the cell towards the next phase of the cell cycle.

- In the context of cell biology, what do we mean by form follows function? What are a least two examples of this concept?arrow_forwardDistinguish between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells in terms of presence or absence of a nucleus, presence or absence of membrane-bound organelles, size, and form the DNA takes (i.e., straight or circular).arrow_forwardExamine whether the statement "Like the lumen of the ER, the interior of the nucleus is topologically equivalent to the outside of the cell" is true or false.arrow_forward
- Arrange the following terms in the order in which information flows in the cell. The blueprint or source of information is #1. DNA MRNA 3 enzyme substrates 4 Protein 2.arrow_forwardA cellular process is shown in stages from left to right in the image. Which of the following is the depicted process, with the correct description of its function? Outiside of cell Plasma Membrane -00 0--00 8-88-8 8-88-8 A. Endocytosis; initiation of signal transduction B. Endocytosis; uptake of nutrients C. Exocytosis; breakdown of wastes D. Exocytosis; secretion of proteinsarrow_forwardAnswer the Guide Question: a) Each cell in an organism has all of the basic parts. Each has a function that benefits the other cells, how might the presence of different cell structures in plant and animal help them perform their functions as an organism. Explain. b) Why is the cell membrane considered as the guard of the cell? c) Why is the lysosome considered as the suicide bag of the cell?arrow_forward
- Explain (using the correct terminology and drawing an image) what happens to the cells in the following environments: A human blood cell (0.9% salt) is placed in a saltwater tank (27.5% salt). - A bacterial cell with 35% organic material in their cytoplasm is living in a tank filled with 35% sulfur. - A freshwater plant cell (75% water) is living in a pond that floods over.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is FALSE regarding the four structures that BOTH prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have in common and why are these essential structures for all cells?1 DNA directs protein production2 Mitochondria the power house of the cell3 Cytoplasm, aqueous interior of all cell houses organelles and other structure 4 cell membrane : regulates movement of molecules between cell and its surroundings5 ribosome build proteins according to the DNA's instructionsarrow_forwardBelow are three statements - two of which are truths and one is a lie. Which of the following statements is a lie? Select one: a. The main component of the plasma membrane is the phospholipid bilayer which is composed of hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails. b. Integral proteins also referred to as cell-specific proteins function as enzymes, as structural attachments to the fibers of the cytoskeleton, or as cell-recognition sites. c. The collective carbohydrates found on the cell's exterior surface is called glycocalyx which means "sugar coating".arrow_forward
- Draw ONE generic eukaryotic cell that includes all of the structures and location of the processes listed below. All structures should be named. You are welcome to use the medium of your choice - draw on paper and upload a picture or use an whiteboard/doodling app and upload the picture. Cell membrane in detail Nucleus Mitochondria Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Ribosomes Golgi apparatus Cytoplasm The location of glycolysis The location of citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation The location where oxygen is needed in the cell The location of carbon dioxide production in the cell The location of DNA storage in the cell The process by which COVID-19 enters and exits a cellarrow_forwardExplain what is meant when a cell is described as totipotent or multipotent.arrow_forwardRibosome, mitochondria, and golgi bodies are structures in cell whose forms dictate their physical functions. Describe their function in relation to their structure.arrow_forward
