Answer:
A.
Explanation:
All living things (whether a plant or an animal) will have cells
A skin cell in G2 of interphase has twice as much DNA as it had in G1.
A skin cell is somatic cell that undergoes mitosis (cell division). Mitosis together with interphase is part of the cell cycle.
Interphase also known as a phase for the preparation for division consists of three phases:
• G1- cell becomes larger, copies organelles, and makes the building blocks necessary for the new cell
• S-cell copies its DNA in the nucleus (that is why G2 phase has twice as much DNA as it had in G1)
• G2 – cell continues to grow, makes proteins and organelles.
During the mitosis, the cell separates its DNA into two and divides its cytoplasm, forming two new daughter cells.
Answer:
A. Cadherins in desmosomes would no longer be anchored to intermediate filaments
Explanation:
Cadherins are Ca dependent molecules (proteins) that are involved in cell-cell adhesion (they are type of cell adhesion molecule-CAM). Cadherins are composed of: a small cytoplasmic component, a transmembrane component, and the extra-cellular part.
There are types of cadherins called desmosomal cadherins which are involved in the formation of desmosomes (structure for cell-cell adhesion) and they bind to linker proteins and keratin intermediate filaments.
Answer:
Answer is C
Explanation:
Although ions and most polar molecules cannot diffuse across a lipid bilayer, many such molecules (such as glucose) are able to cross cell membranes. These molecules pass across membranes via the action of specific transmembrane proteins, which act as transporters.
