a. Although not considered as dynamic as actin filaments or microtubules, intermediate filament assemble and disassembly is routinely regulated by cells. What mechanism is used to control assembly of intermediate filaments?

b. Intermediate filaments are difficult to disassemble during purification but cells normally disassemble all types of intermediate filaments at the beginning of M phase? How is this done?

Microtubules are hollow rods about 25 nm in diameter and 200 nm to 25 um in length. Microtubule fibers are constructed of the globular protein A tubulin dimer consists of two slightly different polypeptides: a-tubulin and B-tubulin. Microtubules shape and support the cell and serve as tracks to guide motor proteins carrving organelles to their...

    10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
