Answer:

The correct answer is number one: <em>Filamentous rotating structures that provide motility may be singular, paired or scattered.</em>

Explanation:

Flagella are organelles defined by function rather than structure.

The primary function is that of locomotion but also being sensitive to chemicals and temperatures outside the cell.

Helicobacter pylori is a good example of flagella: It uses multiple flagella to propel itself through the mucus lining to reach the stomach epithelium.

Sperm cell is a good example, which uses its flagellum to propel itself through the reproductive tract of females.

I hope it helps!

Answer:

1. filamentous rotating structures which porvide motility, may be singular, paired or scattered.

Explanation:

"Bacterial flagella are helically shaped structures containing the protein flagellin. The base of the flagellum (the hook) near the cell surface is attached to the basal body enclosed in the cell envelope. The flagellum rotates in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, in a motion similar to that of a propeller."

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

A geneticist has devised a strategy to study protein translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in yeast cells. She is interested in two different signal sequences that are thought to operate via slightly different translocation mechanisms. Using genetic engineering, she has fused the first signal sequence to a protein whose cytosolic expression is absolutely necessary for cell survival in the selective medium, but is inactive when in the ER. In the same cell, she has also fused the second signal sequence to a toxic protein whose cytosolic expression leads to cell lysis but is harmless when in the ER. Whereas wild-type cells undergo lysis upon the expression of these fusion proteins, she has been able to identify viable mutants, each of which has a loss-of-function mutation in a gene encoding a protein involved in membrane translocation. The products of these genes are probably ...

Explanation:

Involved in the transport of proteins with the first signal sequence but not the second one.

What chemical gets released at the end of a neuron to transmit an impulse to the next neuron?
Elden [556K]
The chemicals, neurotransmitters are released to carry a nerve impulse which is an electric signal transmitted by the nervous system. This impulse transmitted from one neuron to another.

denis-greek [22]

Answer: specialized service

Explanation:

An economy experiencing high interest rates will have to reduce investment generally, BECAUSE higher rates increase the BORROWING and demands that ONLY investments with prospect of HIGHER RETURNS (i.e PROFITABLE) should be considered.

Thus, all options are profitable EXCEPT specialized services, as they would be considered a luxury (too costly)
