Structural polysaccharide found in the exoskeleton of invertebrates.  It is also fund in the cell wall of fungi.

Dynein is a plus-end directed microtubule motor protein.

The monomers for intermediate filaments, microtubules and microfilaments can all bind to and hydrolyze ATP/GTP.

If the G-actin concentration is greater than the critical concentration, an actin filament will grow.

Which clinical manifestations are indicative of left ventricular failure? (Select all that apply)

The GTP binding site of yeast beta-tubulin was mutated, resulting in an increase in the rate of GTP hydrolysis for the mutant as compared to normal beta-tubulin (in other words, there is more GDP bound tubulin than GTP bound).  Predict the effects of this mutation on dynamic instability (make sure to use words like “catastrophe” and “rescue” in your answer).

This type of reaction joins monomers by removing a water molecule.

This type of organic molecule is not soluble in water, serves in long-term energy storage, in stabilizing cell membranes, in synthesizing certain hormones, and in forming protective H2O- proof coverings.

The principle of specificity of training refers to the fact that exercise training is specific to

The endosymbiotic theory states that this organelle developed when a photosynthetic bacteria was engulfed and taken in by a large eukaryotic cell.
