Mitochondria contain their own DNA and ribosomes for protein synthesis of a number of proteins they require. However, a larger number of proteins are actually coded for in the nucleus of the cell, are synthesized in the cytoplasm, and are then transported to mitochondria. Based on what you know about protein transport processes, how do you think these proteins most likely make their way to mitochondria? Copyright 2024 by Edmonds College Department of Biology.

Researchers took two different species of sponge (a type of simple aquatic animal), treated them to disassociate their cells, mixed the cells, and then observed as the cells slowly reaggregated by cell type and species. This experiment demonstrated that ______. Copyright 2024 by Edmonds College Department of Biology. All rights reserved. Online sharing or distribution is prohibited.

You place a plant cell and an animal cell in a hypertonic environment. Assume both cells cannot actively respond to this environment to change the impacts of osmosis (i.e., just consider the impacts of the environment, not anything the cells might try and do to avoid these impacts – something we will learn in later courses cells may actually be able to do!) This means for our purposes we are just considering the structures of these cells and how water will flow in response to the cells and environment.

In a few sentences, please explain.

A plasma cell is a type of B lymphocyte (white blood cell) that has differentiated and specialized to synthesize huge numbers of antibodies very quickly. The specific protein structure of the antibodies enables them to bind to and neutralize antigens that resulted in their production. Given their role, you might expect plasma cells to contain especially large amounts of ______. Copyright 2024 by Edmonds College Department of Biology. All rights reserved.
