Answer:

<em>Plant cell wall</em>

Explanation:

Microtubules: These are hollow cylinders constituted by a protein called tubulin. They are important components of the cytoskeleton providing support and transport mediums to the cell.

Microfilaments: one of the fundamental components of the cytoskeleton, they are composed of filaments of the actin protein. Microfilaments are abundant in the region adjacent to the membrane, where they associate with other proteins to compose the cytoskeleton.

Cell wall: composed of polysaccharides and glycoproteins organized in a tridimensional <u>matrix</u>. The most important component is cellulose, composed of repeated glucose units joined between them. Each cellulose molecule contains about 500 glucose units.

Intermediate filaments: Insoluble, cytosolic, fibrous proteins that are present in every eukaryotic cell. They compose the cytoskeleton that supports the cellular structure and are involved in different metabolic and physiological processes. They participate in internal organelles organization.

Nuclear lamina: intercrossed net of intermediate filaments composed by lamins proteins. It is located in the nucleoplasm periphery in contact with the inner face of the nuclear cover.

Explain how one receptor can induce different phenotypes in different cell types.
Scilla [17]

Answer:

It is possible since a receptor can activate different signaling pathways in different cell types  

Explanation:

In a cell, a receptor bind to a specific ligand to activate a signaling pathway, while the same receptor may bind either with the same or another ligand in another cell type and thus activate another signaling pathway

Is the following statement true or false? the most frequent sign and symptom of a developing pulmonary embolus is tachypnea and
Rainbow [258]

The statement is True.

Dyspnea has a multi-factorial origin, resulting from bronchospasm or vasospasm, disturbances in pulmonary circulation, immobility or diminished respiratory excursion of the diaphragm, atelectasia and/or pulmonary infarction, anoxia, or impairment of cardiac function.

Dyspnea, chest pain, and cough are the most frequent symptoms of Pulmonary Embolism(PE), while fever, tachycardia, abnormal pulmonary signs, and peripheral vascular collapse are the most common physical findings.

Pulmonary embolism (PE) occurs when a blood clot gets stuck in an artery in the lung, blocking blood flow to part of the lung. Blood clots most often start in the legs and travel up through the right side of the heart and into the lungs. This is called deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Clot in the lung circulation (pulmonary embolus): Breathlessness is usually sudden and associated with rapid breathing and may be accompanied by chest pain.

Which section of the pre-mrna contains the protein-coding regions
raketka [301]

The exons of the pre -mRNA contain the protein -coding regions.

Pre mRNA is the first made mRNA transcript and requires undergo many post transcriptional modifications for the formation of a mature mRNA.

The exons are the regions of the pre-mRNA that are found in the mature RNA, after the splicing of introns takes place.

RNA splicing is the process in which the non-coding segments of the RNA, which are known as introns, are removed by the help of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins.  These SnRNPs make the spliceosome, which catalyzes the process of splicing.

After the introns are removed by the splicing process, the exons are covalently joined, which forms the mature mRNA.
