Chapter 6, Problem 5

How do the extracellular filaments in plants differ from those in animals? a. Plant filaments resist compression forces; animal filaments resist pulling forces. b. Animal filaments consist of proteins; plant filaments consist of polysaccharides. c. Plant extracellular filaments never move; animal filaments can slide past one another. d. Plant filaments run parallel to one another; animal filaments crisscross.

Hello everyone. And in today's video we have the following problem. So in animals the protein blank gives the tissues strength and structural integrity. This function is performed by the blank implant cells. So let's just go over the proteins that we are provided so that we can start just saying canceling out answer choices. So let's begin by answer choice. A integrations these integrations are receptor proteins are placed in the cell membrane and they help with cell proliferation by allowing the cell to stick to just the extra cellular matrix. However, they do not provide structural integrity to the tissue. So we're going to cancel this out. Then we have the plasma membrane. The plasma membrane is not really like the singular protein. It's just a structural part of the cell. This is not going to really provide structural integrity to the tissues. So we're going to cancel this out as well. We have fiber connecting, fiber connecting is very much involved in tissue repair. However, it is not involved in just providing structural integrity to these tissues. That we're gonna cancel it out as well. Finally, we have collagen and collagen is present. Is a protein present in the extra cellular matrix and its role is to provide structural support to the tissues in animals. However, implants there is just a similar structure called the cell wall and the cell wall provides structure to the plant. So it gives the tension so that the plan does not fall off. So it's the same. It serves the same role. So we're going to highlight option C. As your final answer. Thank you very much for sticking around until the end of this video, and I hope this helped you.

Draw and label the plasma membrane of a cell that is placed in a solution with concentrations of calcium ions and lactose that are greater than those on the inside of the cell. Use arrows to show the relevant gradients and the activity of the following membrane proteins: (1) a pump that exports protons; (2) a calcium channel; and (3) a lactose carrier.

Suppose a cell is placed in a solution with a high concentration of potassium and no sodium. How would the cellular sodium–potassium pump function in this environment? a. It would stop moving ions across the membrane. b. It would continue using ATP to pump sodium out of the cell and potassium into the cell. c. It would move sodium and potassium ions across the membrane, but no ATP would be used. d. It would reverse the direction of sodium and potassium ions to move them against their gradients.
