Vesicle transport occurs between the ER and the Golgi in bothdirections. Let’s suppose a researcher added a drug to cells thatinhibited vesicle transport from the Golgi to the ER but did not affectvesicle transport from the ER to the Golgi. If you observed cellsmicroscopically after the drug was added, what would you expect to seehappen over the course of 1 hour?a. The ER would get smaller, and the Golgi would get larger.b. The ER would get larger, and the Golgi would get smaller.c. The ER and Golgi would stay the same size.d. Both the ER and Golgi would get larger.e. Both the ER and Golgi would get smaller

The plasma membrane is an effective barrier to molecularmovement across it, yet many substances do enter and leave thecell. Explain the mechanisms through which this is accomplished.
Various types of vesicle coats have been implicated in membrane traffic pathways suchas endocytosis, export from the ER to the Golgi, and transport between Golgicisternae. But so far, no coat has been identified for the secretory vesicles that carrymaterial from the Golgi to the plasma membrane. Do you think such a coat is likely toexist? Justify your answer.
Imagine a hypothetical cell with a higher concentration of glucose inside the cell thanoutside. Answer the following questions about this cell, assuming all transport acrossthe membrane is passive, not active.a. Can the glucose simply diffuse across the cell membrane? Why or why not?b. If there are glucose transport proteins in the cell membrane, which way wouldglucose flow- into or out of the cell? Explain your answer.c. If the concentration of glucose was equal inside and outside of the cell, do you thinkthere would be a net flow of glucose across the cell membrane in one direction orthe other? Explain your answer.

In a monolayer of cultured epithelial cells, the cells may or may not have formed tight junctions. What experimental test could be used to determine it the cells have functional tight junction structures? Place a small dye (1 k Da in molecular weight) into the culture media of cells cultured on a glass coverslip and use live imaging to monitor whether the dye can penetrate into the O cytoplasm of the cells, as would be expected if the cells have functional tight junctions. Inject a cell with a small dye (<1 kDa in molecular weight) and use live cell imaging to track whether the dye moves into neighboring cells, as would be expected if the cells have functional O tight junctions.
Various types of vesicle coats have been implicated in membrane traffic pathways such as endocytosis, export from the ER to the Golgi, and transport between Golgi cisternae. But so far, no coat has been identified for the secretory vesicles that carry material from the Golgi to the plasma membrane. Do you think such a coat is likely to exist?
What we know about diffusion states that the concentration of ions inside and outside a cell should be thesame, but in a neuron, the concentrations of sodium and potassium ions are quite different. How does the cell go against the forces of diffusion?

Neurons have long thin processes called axons, structuresspecialized for conducting signals throughout the organism’s nervous system. Some axonal processes can be as long as 2 m—for example, the axons that originate in your spinal cord and terminate in the muscles of your toes. Small membrane-enclosed vesicles carrying materials essential to axonal function move along microtubules of the cytoskeleton, from the cell body to the tips of the axons. If the average velocity of a vesicle is 1 μm/s, how long does it take a vesicle to move from a cell body in the spinal cord to the axonal tip in the toes?
Imagine protein X, destined to span theplasma membrane. Assume that the mRNA carrying the geneticmessage for protein X has already been translated by ribosomesin a cell culture. If you fractionate the cells (see Figure 6.4), inwhich fraction would you find protein X? Explain by describingits transit through the cell.
The cytoplasm of a certain cell is composed of a solution that is 98% water, 2% solutes. Consider the solution shown in the beaker in this picture: FOOE OOS Foor solution. [Select] Cytoplasm is 98% water, 2% solutes. The solution in the beaker would be considered when compared to [Select] The plasma membrane is impermeable to solutes. Beaker solution is 98% water, 2% solutes the cell. We would expect that the cell would [Select] if it was placed in the would account for whatever changes might occur to the volume of the cytoplasm of the cell when it is placed in the solution.
