| Which term best characterizes the motility of a two-headed motor such as kinesin or dynein? A running B walking C hopping D gliding | B walking |
| Which of the following of dynactin helps dynein be a faster motor? dynactin can bind to both dynein & microtubules dynactin can bind 2 both microtubules & microfil dynactin can bind to dynein and intermediate filaments dynactin takes longer steps >dyn | |
| What molecule is added onto the growing end a microfilament? A actin monomer bound to GTP B actin monomer bound to ATP C actin monomer bound to ADP D actin dimer bound to ATP E actin dimer bound to ADP | A actin monomer bound to GTP |
| When Calcium ions are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, the ions bind directly to what molecule in order to stimulate muscle contraction? A Actin B Tropomyosin C Troponin D Myosin E Ras | |
| Cytoplasm from an egg cell in interphase is injected into a second egg cell in M phase. What happens? it undergoes apoptosis it dies by necrosis it stays in M phase forever it immediately stops M phase & enters interphase it continues thru M phase n | |
| What order do the following steps occur n the activation of cyclin dependent kinase (cdk)? 1 cdk starts positive feedback loop 2 cdk gets phosphorylated @ 2 locations 3 cdk binds to the correct cyclin 4 cdk has 1 of its phosphates removed by phosphat | |
| A cell is not able to progress through the cell cycle. Which of the following molecules can be phosphorylated in order to allow the cell to advance through the cell cycle? A retinoblastoma protein (Rb) B p53 protein C G1 cyclin D ras E telomerase | |
| What molecule is added to a cyclin to target that specific cyclin for degradation? A a phosphate B GTP C GDP D caspase E ubiquiti | |
| What role does p21 have n the cell cycle if DNA damage occurs? p21 causes transcription of p53 p21 degrades S-phase cyclin p21 phosphorylates S-phase CDK 2 inactivate CDK p21 binds 2 S-phase CDK 2 inactivate the CDK p21 inactivates ras 2 slow cell cy | |
