Question

BIOL350 CELL BIOLOGY TAKE-HOME 2 (100pts) Spring 2018 Name SFSU ID 4A. (6pts) What are three ways in which cilia play a role in cell function? You may examples in our own bodies, or in other organisms B. (4pts) How do motor proteins act on microtubules to create the bending motion in clia? 5. (10pts) Imagine you are studying a novel gap-junction protein, called NGP. Your hypothesis is that NGP behaves unlike other ones identified to date, namely that it allows transport in only one direction. Please design an experiment that can successfully test your hypothesis. You should include: your general experimental design - the reasoning behind how you will draw conclusions from your data - a description and/or drawing of your expected results if your hypothesis is accurate -a description and/or drawing or your expected results if your hypothesis is inaccurate

Explanation / Answer

A. A cilium (the plural is cilia) is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Cilia are slender protuberances that project from the much larger cell body. Functions of cilia include:

B. Motor proteins such as kinesin and dyenin act as a complex with the microtubules. These move on the microtubules to transport molecules from one place to the other. Cilia contains binding sites for these motor proteins.
