Fordham University Major Functions of The Cytoskeleton Biology Questions

 

This assignment consists of five questions. Each of your responses should be one or more paragraphs long, depending upon the depth of the question. An answer consisting of only a few short sentences is insufficient, and will receive a poor grade. Be sure to cite any and all sources correctly so that your academic integrity is not called into question. 2-3 Pages will suffice. (At least 1000 words)

Copy the following questions, add your answers, and submit them below in one attached document.

1. Explain where proteins are synthesized and then trace different routes taken by various types of proteins from the site of initial manufacture to the ultimate destination in the cell.
2. Discuss the major functions of the cytoskeleton and describe how its various components carry out these functions.
3. How do extracellular components and connections between cells help cells coordinate cellular activities? Give specific examples for plant cells and animal cells.
4. Describe the structure of the cell membrane and explain the functions of its various components. Be sure to indicate how components contribute to the membrane’s selective permeability.
5. Discuss bulk transport, passive transport, and active transport. Describe differences in the movements of substances and the actions of the cell membrane in each case.
