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.

How is dna the basic of life?
Allushta [10]


DNA is considered the molecule of life because it contains the instructions that ensure the continuity of life. Employment of DNA to code for protein is the basis of all life on earth. 

In all living things, inherited DNA  is used to code for amino acids  which when joined or linked together in a deliberate specific  manner form polypeptides which make up proteins. These proteins are responsible for  structure and function of cells. 

For example DNA provides information to make  four polypeptide (two beta and two alpha ) chains  which make up hemoglobin, the protein that functions as the oxygen carrier in red blood cells. In summary,

DNA → protein →  trait, and that relationship is the physical basis of life.

Amylase converts starch to glucose. So the one that didn't have starch in it would not show glucose formation because the amylase didn't have starch to convert to glucose.
