The figure shоws а drаwing lаbeled Figure 1, Mоdel оf synapse. There is a presynaptic neuron above and to the left of a postsynaptic neuron. The area between the neurons is labeled Synaptic Cleft p H 7.4. The internal area of the presynaptic neuron is labeled Cytosol p H 6.6. There are two ovals in the cytosol. One oval is labeled Synaptic Vesicle. The internal area of the synaptic vesicle is labeled p H 5.5. The second oval is unlabeled and is connected to a concave area of the neuronal membrane by an arrow. Above the arrow is a line that ends in a T shape that is labeled C D K 5. Researchers investigating the regulation of neurotransmitter release from presynaptic neurons proposed a model (Figure 1) in which CDK5, a protein expressed in axon terminals, inhibits the movement of synaptic vesicles to the presynaptic membrane. To test their model, the researchers used a modified version of green fluorescent protein (GFP*). In slightly alkaline conditions, GFP* exhibits a bright green fluorescence. In acidic conditions, GFP* exhibits no fluorescence. Using standard techniques, the gene encoding GFP* is easily introduced into living cells. By engineering the expression of GFP* in laboratory-cultured nerve cells, the researchers found that a bright green fluorescence was exhibited only when a presynaptic neuron was given a certain stimulus. Which of the following observations best supports the hypothesis that CDK5 negatively regulates neurotransmitter release?
Insulin, а hоrmоne secreted by pаncreаtic cells, stimulates glucоse uptake in skeletal muscle cells by mobilizing glucose transporter proteins (GLUT4) to the plasma membrane. As depicted in Figure 1, binding of insulin to the insulin receptor triggers an intracellular signaling cascade in which certain molecules activate other molecules in a relay of the hormone signal to cell targets. One outcome of the signaling cascade is mobilization of GLUT4 from vesicle storage sites in the cytoplasm to sites at the cell surface, where GLUT4 allows glucose to enter the cell. The figure shows a large oval shape representing a cell and is labeled, Figure One. Insulin signaling in muscle cells. The figure shows the binding of Insulin, which is outside the cell, to the insulin receptor, which is embedded in the plasma membrane. This triggers an intracellular signaling cascade in which the insulin receptor activates I R S-1, which activates P I 3-Kinase, which activates P D K, which activates A k t, which activates Glut 4 Vesicles, which fuse with the Plasma Membrane. Glut 4 becomes embedded in the plasma membrane, and glucose molecules move from outside the cell to inside the cell. Figure 1. Insulin signaling in muscle cells. In type 2 diabetes, the cellular response to insulin is disrupted, and individuals with type 2 diabetes cannot properly regulate their blood glucose levels. In an investigation of the insulin signaling pathway, samples of skeletal muscle were isolated from individuals who have type 2 diabetes and from individuals who do not. The results of several experiments that were performed on the muscle samples are shown in Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4. The figure shows 3 graphs. The first graph is labeled Figure 2. Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. The horizontal axis is labeled Insulin, in nanomolars. The vertical axis is labeled Glucose Transport, in nanomoles per milligram, hour. Five numbers appear on the horizontal axis and are, from left to right, zero, zero point six, one point two, 2 point four, and 60. A break in the axis occurs between 2 point four and 60. Eleven numbers appear on the vertical axis and are, from bottom to top, zero through 10, in increments of one. A solid line and a dashed line, each with data points, appear on the graph. The dashed line is labeled Control and connects 5 data points. The leftmost and rightmost data points are the start and end of the line, and the approximate coordinates of the data points are as follows: Point One: zero comma 2. Point 2: zero point six comma 6. Point 3: one point two comma 9. Point 4: two point four comma 8 point five. Point 5: 60 comma 9. The solid line is labeled Type 2 diabetic and connects 5 data points. The leftmost and rightmost data points are the start and end of the line, and the approximate coordinates of the data points are as follows: Point One: zero comma 2. Point 2: zero point 6 comma 2 point one. Point 3: one point two comma zero point nine. Point 4: two point four comma 5. Point 5: 60 comma 6. The second graph is labeled Figure 3. Insulin receptor activation. The horizontal axis is labeled Insulin, in nanomolars. The vertical axis is labeled Relative Activity. Three numbers appear on the horizontal axis and are, from left to right, zero, 2 point four, and 60. An unnumbered tick mark appears to the right of 60, and a break in the axis occurs between 2 point four and 60. A solid and a dashed line with data points appear on the graph. The dashed line is labeled Control and connects 3 data points. The line begins on the vertical axis, slightly above the intersection of the axes and at a point of zero nanomolars. The line moves gradually up and to the right, to a point approximately one fourth above the horizontal axis and at 2 point 4 nanomolars, then moves steeply up and to the right, and ends at a point near the top of the graph at 60 nanomolars. The solid line is labeled Type 2 diabetic and connects 3 data points. The line begins on the vertical axis, just above the first Control point. The line moves gradually up and to the right, to a point just below the second Control Point and at 2 point 4 nanomalors, then moves steeply up and to the right, and ends at a point slightly above the third Control point and at 60 nanometers.

Effect оf Wаter-Sоluble Pоllutаnts on Membrаne Permeability Treatment Group Treatment Solution (percent by volume) Mean Absorbance of 460 nm Light (n=5) 2× Standard Error of the Mean (2×SEM) I 70% isopropanol; 30% water 0.164 0.032 II 90% isopropanol; 10% water 0.125 0.100 III 50% acetone; 50% water 0.215 0.034 IV 70% acetone; 30% water 0.274 0.018 V 100% water 0.095 0.004 A student formulated a hypothesis that water-soluble pollutants damage living organisms by increasing the permeability of cellular membranes. To test the hypothesis, the student investigated the effect of isopropanol and acetone on beet root cells. The vacuoles of beet root cells contain large amounts of betacyanin, a water-soluble pigment that is released into the extracellular environment as a result of increased membrane permeability. The student prepared identical samples of beet root tissue and incubated each sample for 15 minutes in the specific solution for that group. At the end of the incubation period, the student measured the absorbance of 460 nm light for each sample. A greater concentration of betacyanin in the solution surrounding the beet root cells results in a greater absorbance of 460 nm light. The results of the experiment are shown in the table above. The student analyzed the data from the investigation and concluded that the estimate of the mean of one treatment group was unreliable. Which of the following identifies the treatment group most likely to have provided an unreliable estimate of the mean, and correctly explains why the estimate appears unreliable?
