Suppose you are a researcher in an influenza lab and your team has uncovered four strains that have evolved changes from last ye

ar’s influenza virus. Strain A has evolved four changes in its surface proteins and three changes in its interior proteins. Strain B has evolved two changes in its surface proteins and seven changes in its interior proteins. Strain C has evolved six changes in its surface proteins and none in its interior proteins. Strain D has evolved only a single change in its surface proteins and none in its interior proteins. Assuming that all other factors are equal, which strain is most likely to be infectious?

A researcher is studying a population of mutant fibroblasts that fail to flatten and attach to extracellular matrix proteins on
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: Components of cell junctions

Explanation:

<u>Fibroblasts are cells located in the dermis,</u> responsible for the formation and remodeling of tissue. They synthesize fibers and maintains the extracellular matrix of the tissue of animals. So, t<u>he extracellular matrix is a structurally complex entity that surrounds and supports the cells found in tissues</u>.

A cell junction a structure that exists within the tissues of animals and they consist of protein complexes that provide contact between cells or between a cell and the extracellular matrix. So if the cells do not appear flattened and do not attach to the extracellular matrix, then there is a problem with the components of cell junctions, which are mostly proteins as it was said before. And since proteins are coded by genetic information stored in DNA, then if there is a mutation in any of those genes, the fibroblast will fail to attach because the protein of the cell junction will be abnormal.

What is the primary function of carbohydrates attached to the exterior of cell membranes?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The correct option is : a. Identification of the cell

Explanation:

The cell membrane, also called plasma membrane, is a semi-permeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of the cell, that protects and separates the interior of the cells from the external environment.

The carbohydrate layer of the cell membrane is known as the glycocalyx. In eukaryotes, <u>the carbohydrates present on the surface of the cell membrane play a important role in the cell-cell recognition and share information.</u>

Which plant cell organelle helps maintain the shape of the cell by helping to maintain turgor pressure? A) cell membrane B) cell
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer: The correct answer is- C) vacuole.

Large central Vacuole is a specialized fluid filled organelle, present only in plant cell. It is primarily involved in providing support and shape to the plant cell by maintaining the turgor pressure ( a hydrostatic force that is produced due to the cell contents against the inner side of the cell wall). The central vacuole stores water ( that flows through osmosis) and maintains turgor pressure in a plant cell.

Turgor pressure provides mechanical support and helps in the growth and development of plant.
