You have discovered a cell type in humans that has an unknown function. The cells are found in the epithelium of the lungs. It a

ppears that upon stimulation these cells deliver a set of highly glycosylated proteins to the extracellular space. However, several individuals who are highly susceptible to lung infections appear to have decreased secretion of these glycosylated proteins. Which of the following would provide you with the best method of inhibiting this secretory pathway in a normal functioning lung cells with stimulation?a) decrease the amount of GTP to inhibit microtubule elongation and block secretionb) treat the cells with taxol to rid the cell of microtubules and block secretionc)treat the cells with nocodazol to stabilize the microtubule pathways for visualizationd)inhibit the GTPase activity of the heterodimer to cause microtubule catastrophe and block secretion

Answer:

The correct option is a) "decrease the amount of GTP to inhibit microtubule elongation and block secretion"

Explanation:

Since microtubules play a critical role in transporting secretory vesicles, preventing it from elongating will keep it from performing this function. Completely eliminating the microtubules from the cell as suggested in option d will harm the cells and other processes in it because the microtubules also have an integral part to play in maintaining cell shape & structure.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Which of the following is TRUE? Species on Earth today are just a fraction of all species that ever lived. The number of species
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Until recent history,extinctions have always happened gradually and on a small scale.

Explanation:

Extinction occur when environmental factors like natural disaster,habitat fragmentation,over exploitation,global change don't favor the survival of species thus gradually leads to extinction of species.

Some times human activity becomes the major problem for extinction.More over,poor reproduction,decline in population number and genetic inbreeding also leads to extinction.

99% of all species that exist on earth become disappeared.

Evolution leas to speciation which leas to formation of new species but species become extinct when they are unable to survive against competition.

What stomach secretion is needed to produce mature erythrocytes?
anyanavicka [17]
<span>Intrinsic factor is a glycoprotein principally secreted by the parietal cells of the stomach. This secretion is needed to produce mature erythrocytes. Its secretion is governed by the same biochemical processes that regulate acid secretion and its action is to assist in the absorption of vitamin B12.</span>
