A microtubule appears as a left-handed helix due to an approximately 0.9-nm stagger in the lateral contacts between adjacent pro

tofilaments. In the lateral contacts, α- and β-tubulins in one protofilament interact with α- and β-tubulins, respectively, in the neighboring protofilament, except for a longitudinal discontinuity along the microtubule called the seam. Along the seam, lateral contacts have to be made between different tubulins (i.e. α-tubulin with β-tubulin). Which of the following do you think is acceptable as the repeat distance of tubulin monomers along a protofilament?A. 4 nmB. 5 nmC. 6 nmD. 7 nmE. 10 nm

Answer:

Th acceptable distance of tubulin monomers along a protofilament is : <u>A. 4nm</u>

Explanation:

MICROTUBULES are an important component of the cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells. Its function is part of a structural role that helps define cell morphology, and also serves as an intracellular motor for some proteins such as kinesin and dynein.  

For the correct formation of the structures called microtubules to occur, a process called polymerization is required. In this process there is a head-to-tail junction in which the dimer junction between tubulines forms a structure called protofilaments and those protofilaments run along the microtubule. Then, the other process occurs in which, by lateral interactions between the structures mentioned above , the wall of The microtubule will be completed.

The cholera toxin causes intestinal cells to pump out their chloride ions
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer: This bacterium can survive passage through the acidic conditions of the stomach. Inside the small intestine, V. cholerae attaches to the intestinal wall and starts producing cholera toxin. The toxin enters intestinal cells, causing them to release water and ions, including sodium and chloride ions.
