The distribution of melanosomes in cells is tightly regulated in animals that rapidly change color. dark-colored cells have mela

nosomes scattered throughout the cytoplasm while light-colored cells have them aggregated near the nucleus. how could cells use microtubules and motor proteins to change the distribution of melanosomes?

Microtubules originate on the centre of the cell taking the positive end to the periphery of the cell, while the negative end remains turned to the centre of the cell. The melanosomes move along these microtubules using motor proteins desiganted kinesins and dyneins. The kinesins are responsible for moving the melanosomes to the positive end of the microtubule (periphery of the cell) generating dark-colored cells, whereas dyneins move the melanosomes to the negative end of the microtubule (centre of the cell) generating light-colored cells.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is: B. pure culture.

Explanation:

  • Sputum sample contains varied types of bacteria.
  • When this sample is cultured on a growth medium all the different types of bacteria grow on it.
  • A single distinct colony of bacteria is formed from by multiple divisions of a single bacterial cell.
  • In the given growth medium distinct colonies of bacteria are formed.
  • Each such colony is formed from a single bacteria.
  • When such a single distinct colony is inoculated in a separate medium and bacteria is grown in that, then a Pure culture of bacteria is generated.
  • A Pure culture can be defined as such a culture which is comprised of single type of bacterial cell, formed from a single bacteria.

20. What condition is required for ATP synthase to move hydrogen down its gradient? A. More ATP molecules ahead of the hydrogen
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

This H+ ion gradient is referred to as a proton motive force. It is  created using energy from the Krebs cycle in the matrix of the mitochondria. As electrons are passed from one protein complex to another, reducing molecules such as NADH and FADH2, the protons are pumped to the intermembrane space of the mitochondria. ATP synthase uses this potential to generate ATP as the H+ ions move downgradient (back to the matrix) through channels in the protein enzyme.
