Describe how cilia and flagella bend.
Short Answer
The flagella and cilia are the structures associated with locomotion. The bending of cilia and flagella takes place with the help of dynein.

Which type of microscope would you use to study (a) the changes in the shape of a living white blood cell and (b) the details of the surface texture of a hair?
The polypeptide chain that makes up a tight junction weaves back and forth through the membrane four times, with two extracellular loops and one loop plus short C-terminal and N-terminal tails in the cytoplasm. Looking at Figure 5.14, what would you predict about the amino acid sequence of the tight junction protein?
Describe the molecular composition of nucleoli and explain their function.
Examine the micrograph of the yeast cells. The scale bar under the photo is labeled 1µm. The scale bar works in the same way as a scale on a map, where, for example, 1 inch equals 1 mile. In this case, the bar represents one thousandth of a millimeter. Using the scale bar as a basic unit, determine the diameter of the mature parent cell and the new cell. Start by measuring the scale bar and working in millimeters in convenient. Divide each diameter by the length of the scale bar and then multiply by the scale bar’s length value to give you the diameter in micrometers.
