Suppose you discover a novel process in a little-studied cell type in which application of a chemical causes an unknown organelle to undergo energy-dependent movement from near the MTOC to the plasma membrane. To probe the cytoskeletal elements required for this movement you add an actin depolymerizing drug latrunculin A. This drug does not affect the initial movement of the organelle away from the MTOC, however the organelle stops before reaching the plasma membrane. You next try the microtubule depolymerizing drug colchicine. This drug prevents any movement of the organelle away from the MTOC in response the chemical stimulus. 1. What do these results tell you about the identity of the cytoskeletal elements involved and the identity of the required motor proteins over the course of movement?
2. Predict the result you would get if you added both latrunculin A and colchicine at the same time. Would the resulting phenotype be a combination of adding each drug alone, would one or the other drug’s effects predominate, or would they cancel each other out? Why?

You decide that the introduction should also discuss the extremophiles that are referred to as the archaea. these single-cell organisms are considered "extremophiles" due to their ability to survive and reproduce in environmental conditions that would be hostile for most living organisms. archaea species have been isolated from highly acidic sulfur springs, ocean floor thermal vents with temperatures that exceed boiling, and subarctic ice well below freezing. while still considered to be prokaryotic, the archaea have numerous differences that place them apart from the bacteria. choose the characteristics that separate the archaea from other prokaryotic cells. select all that apply. view available hint(s) select all that apply. archaea lack true peptidoglycan in their cell walls. the morphology of the cell is rigid and is geometric in shape, similar to a sphere or cylinder. the cytoplasmic membrane lipids of archaea have branched or ringform hydrocarbon chains. all currently identified and characterized archaea have been linked as the causative agent to an animal or human disease.
