Document Summary

Muscles responsible for primary moving of our body. Skeletal muscle is what comes to mind when you for example contract your bicep. It is the end point where there are two pieces of actin merging with each other. Myosin protein is the thick filament: thick because it has a lot of heads. The myosin comes together at the m line: the z disc moves towards the m line, causing the z disc to come together. Myosin heads are not attached to the actin. The reason they are not attached is because there are structures called troponin and tropomyosin. These proteins are responsible for blocking the binding sites where myosin is supposed to grab on. The troponin molecule pulls tropomyosin out of the way, so that the myosin can bind to the actin. When that process doesn"t occur, there is no active sites available for the myosin to bind to the actin.

1)Describe the directions in which the two motor proteins, kinesin and dynein, travel along a microtubule. Which of the two proteins moves materials towards the Golgi and which moves materials away from the Golgi? Lastly, what is the speed of kinesin dependent on?

2)What are microfilaments crucial for? How do they self-assemble? Which end do they prefer to elongate from?

3)Describe what types of filaments are in each of the bands of the sarcomere. As a muscle fiber is shortened, describe what happens to each of the bands in the sarcomere as the Z lines move inwards.

4)Describe the role of calcium ions in muscle contraction.

5)List the various types of actin-binding proteins

6) A. What are 3 functions of the cytoskeleton?

B.What are the three filaments that compose the cytoskeleton, and what are they composed?

7)How do they see the internal structures of cells in the microscope? What do proteins get labeled with?

8)Myosin II action (Figure 9.61) differs from that of kinesin (Figure 9.15) in that one of the kinesin heads is always in contact with a microtubule, whereas both myosin heads become completely detached from the actin filament. How are these differences correlated with the two types of motor activities in which these proteins engage?

9)If a myofibril were pulled so that the sarcomeres increased in length by approximately 50 percent, what effect would you expect this to have on the contractile ability of the myofibril? Why? What effects would this have on the H, A, and I bands?

10)Because cytoplasmic vesicles are seen to move in both directions within an axon, can you conclude that some microtubules are oriented with their plus end facing the axon terminus and others oriented with the opposite polarity? Why or why not?

QUESTION 30

QUESTION 31

The destinations of proteins synthesized on "free" ribomsomes include:

	1.	Endoplasmic reticulum
	2.	Nucleus
	3.	Mitochondria
	4.	Lysosomes

2.5 points

QUESTION 32

Microtubules can be assembled and disassembled quickly in response to the cellular changes is because:

	1.	Cells synthesize tubulin proteins very fast.
	2.	Cells can turn other cytoskeletal filaments into microtubules
	3.	Microtubules have an instable plus end and microtubules are probably organized by weak non-covalent interactions
	4.	The motor proteins of microtubules can organize the microtubules in response to the cellular changes

QUESTION 33

Both signal recognition particle and a translocon in rough endoplasmic reticulum membrane can recognize and bind to the signal sequence of a secretory protein, so they play the exact same role during protein co-translational translocation.

True

False

2.5 points

QUESTION 34

Rough endoplasmic reticulum is so named is because:

	1.	It has many proteins associated with its surface.
	2.	It has ribosomes associated with its cytosolic surface.
	3.	It is associated with nuclear membrane.
	4.	It has vesicles budding off its surface.

QUESTION 35

The membrane vesicles that transport materials between membrane compartments have a protein coat. The protein coat has similar functions in different vesicles. These functions include:

	1.	Help the enclosed material fold correctly.
	2.	Help degrade the protein in the vesicles
	3.	Maintain the internal pH of the vesicles
	4.	Function as mechanical device to form a vesicle and select the components to be carried by a vesicle.

QUESTION 36

Lysosomes are important for:

	1.	Receptor-mediated endocytosis.
	2.	Breaking down foreign particles brought into the cells by endosomes
	3.	Regulating the process of organelle turnover.
	4.	Protein trafficking between membrane compartments

QUESTION 37

Which of the following is correct about membrane biosynthesis?

	1.	Membranes are synthesized in Golgi Complex.
	2.	Membranes arise from preexisting endoplasmic reticulum membranes.
	3.	Membranes are synthesized on ribosomes.
	4.	Membranes of all organelles have the same composition of proteins and lipids, since they all originate from endoplasmic reticulum.

2.5 points

QUESTION 38

During skeletal muscle contractions, the shortening of the muscle fibers is because of:

		The shortening of the thin and thick myofilaments.
		The shortening of the cytoskeletal filaments.
		The kinesin proteins moving over microtubules.
		The actin and myosin filaments sliding over each other.

2.5 points

QUESTION 39

The assembly and disassembly of microtubules is regulated by rate of growth and shrinkage of the plus end.

True

False

2.5 points

QUESTION 40

The functions of Golgi complex include:

	1.	O-linked oligosaccharides and most of a cellâs complex polysaccharides are assembled in Golgi complex
	2.	Cis Golgi complex sorts proteins
	3.	Trans Golgi complex segregates proteins in different types of vesicles for dilevery.
	4.	N-linked oligosaccharides are further processed in Golgi complex
