Answer:

Cell division will halt/discontinue

Explanation:

During mitosis, the chromosomes align at the cell's equator while spindle fibers from the opposite poles of the cell engage the chromosomes at the kinetochore of the centromere. The spindle fibers then start shortening towards the opposite poles, pulling apart sister chromatids in the process. The chromatids eventually migrates to the poles and the cytoplasm divides, resulting in the formation of two daughter cells.

<em>If spindle fibers formation is chemically inhibited, the dividing cell will not be able to proceed beyond metaphase. There will not be any structure to separate the chromosomes into chromatids and assist the chromatids to migrate to the poles. Mitosis will be stuck and cell division will eventually stop.</em>

Feliz [49]

Transport of a substance from the lumen (cavity) of an organ into one side of a cell and out the other side of the cell into the extracellular fluid is called <u>transcellular transport</u>.

The two routes of transport of substances across the epithelium of the gut are by transcellular method and paracellular method.

Transcellular transport refers to the transport of solutes across a epithelial cell layer through the cells.  The best example is the movement of glucose from the intestinal lumen to the extracellular fluid by the epithelial cells. The epithelial cells use the active transport to generate the transcellular transport. Active transport refers to the transport of substances from a region of its lower concentration to a region of its higher concentration against the concentration gradient using cellular energy.
