Smooth muscle cells lack which protein(s)?

Biology
1 answer:
LuckyWell [14K]3 years ago

The correct answer is C. troponin only.

The smooth muscle cells contain similar elements like the cardiac and skeletal muscle cells including actin, myosin and tropomyosin but they contain troponin.

Smooth muscle tissues are non striated and produce their own connective tissue called endomysium. Smooth muscle cells also lack sarcomeres but have other thin and thick filaments along with actin and myosin contractile proteins.

Due to lack of troponin the cross bridge formation is regulated by the regulatory protein calmodulin instead of the troponin- tropomyosin complex.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: To eliminate bacteria that failed to take in the plasmid.

Explanation:

Research shows that plasmid DNA is only taken in by small percentage of bacteria in a large population.

Therefore, the need of growing transformed bacteria in the presence of ampicillin is very important. The main reason of this process is to kill off or eliminate bacteria that have failed to take in the plasmid, due to their possession of recombinant DNA plasmid pARA-R (an ampicillin resistance gene), that allows them to survive.

However, after completion of the aforementioned procedure, the bacteria that have been transformed will be able to take in the plasmid.
