Microtubules provide a rigid structure, or cytoskeleton
Heart rate is controlled by the two branches of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) releases the hormones (catecholamines - epinephrine and norepinephrine) to accelerate the heart rate. The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) releases the hormone acetylcholine to slow the heart rate. Such factors as stress, caffeine, and excitement may temporarily accelerate your heart rate, while meditating or taking slow, deep breaths may help to slow your heart rate.

Answer:
The options A, B, and D are all valid.
Explanation:
- The reason is that some proteins require molecular chaperones if they are to fold properly within the environment of the cell. In the absence of chaperones, a partially folded polypeptide chain has exposed amino acids that can form non-covalent bonds with other regions of the protein itself and with other proteins, thus causing nonspecific aggregation of proteins.
- The option A) is correct because the protein you are expressing in bacteria is being made in large quantities, it is possible that there are not enough chaperone molecules in the bacterium to fold the protein. Expressing the protein at lower levels might increase the amount of properly folded protein.
- The option B) is correct as urea should solubilize the protein and completely unfold it. Removing the urea slowly and gradually often allows the protein to refold. Presumably, under less crowded conditions, the protein should be able to refold into its proper conformation.
- The option C) is not correct as treating the aggregate with a protease, which cleaves peptide bonds, will probably solubilize the protein by trimming it into pieces that do not interact as strongly with one another; however, chopping up the protein will also destroy its enzymatic activity.
- The option D) is correct because overexpressing chaperone proteins might increase the amount of properly folded protein.
- The option E) is not correct as heating can lead to the partial denaturation and aggregation of proteins to form a solid gelatinous mass, as when cooking an egg white, and rarely helps solubilize proteins.
