A researcher is using a modified version of FRAP. She has devised a technique that allows her to label all the peripheral membra

ne proteins with a fluorescent tag, and has bleached a specific area of the cell membrane. After 24 hours, she notices that fluorescence has returned to the bleached area. What can she deduce from this experiment?A. Peripheral membrane proteins are akin to integral membrane proteins.B. Peripheral membrane proteins may not be permanently associated with the cell membrane.C. Peripheral membrane proteins—like transmembrane proteins—are located within the cell membrane.D. Peripheral membrane proteins can move freely within the cell membrane.E. Peripheral membrane proteins can both move freely within the cell membrane and are akin to integral membrane proteins

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

FRAP or Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching refers to a method of finding the kinetics of diffusion in living cells, generally with the assistance of fluorescence microscopy. The method comprises the labeling of a particular cell constituent with a fluorescent molecule, imaging that cell, photobleach a small section of the cell, then image the recovery of fluorescence with time.  

In the given question, as the fluorescence has recovered back to the bleached region. The scientist can come to the conclusion that the membrane of the cell and the peripheral membrane proteins do not always belong together.

Name two organelles you could find in a euglena that you couldn't find in a zooflagellate
Aleks [24]
Zooflagellate is a free living protozoan with a whip like appendage. It is non-photosynthetic and feed on decaying organic matter. Euglena is a single cell flagellate eurkaryote, which has features of both plant and animal. Two organelles that are present in euglena but which are not present in zooflagellate are chloroplast and photoreceptors.

What is one observable adaptation of the redbud tree that makes it a member of the legume family?
Step2247 [10]

Answer: I think one observable adaptation of the redbud tree that makes it a member of the legume family is the shape of the fruit.

Explanation: Different species might look dissimilar but the unity among organisms becomes apparent from an analysis of internal structures, the similarity of their chemical processes, and the evidence of common ancestry

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

d. ATP;  Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate

Explanation:

Phosphofructokinase-1 is the enzyme that catalyzes the formation of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate from fructose-6-phosphate and ATP. The phosphofructokinase step is the first rate-limiting step of glycolysis.

Phosphofructokinase-1 activity is allosterically regulated. Its activity is increased whenever the cell's ATP supply is depleted or when its breakdown products, ADP and AMP accuulates in he cell. However, it is inhibited when the cell is amply supplied with ATP.

The activity of phosphofructokinase-1 is restored by fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, its most potent activator.

From the given options:

a. AMP :::: citrate  is wrong because AMP increases the activity of phosphofructokinase-1 and citrate is not its activator but an inhibitor

b. AMP :::: Fru-2,6-P2  is wrong because AMP increases its activity same as fructose-2,6-bisphosphate

c. ATP :::: citrate  is wrong because both citrate and ATP are inhibitors

d. ATP :::: Fru-2,6-P2  is correct as explained above

e. All of these is wrong because of the other wrong options above.
