Imagine that you are a graduate student working in a cancer lab. You accidentally mix unlabeled tubes of carcinoma cells with tubes of normal epithelial cells. Which of the following is not a possible strategy to allow you to distinguish which tubes contain carcinoma cells? A.) Monitor telomere length over time during multiple cell divisions.
B.) Plate the cells in culture and look for the culture that stops dividing once a monolayer is reached.
C.) Monitor the rate of cell division.
D.) Suspend the cells in liquid agar culture and monitor which culture continues to grow.

With the description of the different cell walls, membranes, and associated proteins set in the students' minds, you now need to introduce them to the idea that the cell wall can also act as a foundation to build things upon. bacterial appendages require a strong foundation that will offer the support needed to move and function in a dynamic world. for example, flagella are long, whiplike protein structures that are used by many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria for locomotion. in order to function effectively, a flagellum must be firmly anchored to the cell wall. how will you be able to get across the idea that the peptidoglycan cell wall is strong enough to support such a mechanism? with a protein rod that passes through the cell wall and protein rings used to anchor it in the membranes, these basal bodies are the rudimentary biological motors that use atp power to spin the hook and the flagella attached to it. bacterial flagella have a biological motor that spins within the cell wall and is powered by atp. this allows the flagella to spin in a whiplike motion to propel the bacterium.

Sediment layers stop lateral spreading when: they encounter a barrier they encounter an opposing current they run out of additional sedimentary material
