I need to submit this today. Question 1: What motor protein is associated with actin?

Question 2: What is the microtubule organizing center of most eukaryotic cells?

Question 3: Which diseases cause an effect on the cytoskeleton of cells? Do you think a cell can function without a cytoskeleton?

1.This type of enzyme, which converts chemical energy into mechanical energy, is called a mechanochemical enzyme or, colloquially, a motor protein. Myosin is the motor, actin filaments are the tracks along which myosin moves, and ATP is the fuel that powers movement.

2.The microtubule-organizing center (MTOC) is a structure found in eukaryotic cells from which microtubules emerge. MTOCs have two main functions: the organization of eukaryotic flagella and cilia and the organization of the mitotic and meiotic spindle apparatus, which separate the chromosomes during cell division.

3.Cytoskeletal protein aberrations are the underlying reason for many pathological phenotypes. It is no surprise that modifications in such a crucial cellular structure lead to pathological conditions. Indeed, many diseases have now been associated with abnormalities in cytoskeletal and nucleoskeletal proteins, including several cardiovascular disease syndromes, neurodegeneration, cancer (invasion), liver cirrhosis, pulmonary fibrosis, and blistering skin diseases. The mechanisms by which many micro‐organisms infect specific cells have been shown to depend on host cytoskeletal elements. Attempts to modulate the cytoskeleton by peptides or other specific drugs have already yielded interesting results and this will lead to new therapeutic agents in the foreseeable future. The impact on cancer treatment is a convincing example: anti‐cytoskeletal (microtubule targeted) drugs are already used to inhibit cell division.

explanation:

ok

1. loamy sand is about 80% sand with 10% clay and defined mostly by sand particles with some clay to provide structure and fertility. the sand particles are easily visible and the soil holds structure but breaks apart easily.

2. scott sand can improve his soil quality by incorporating more silt and organic matter into the soil. peat moss and organic matter can also be incorporated.
