How can ATP be produced?

ATP can be produced when hydrogen ions move down their gradient through ATP synthase

The diversity of life is classified into which of the following three domains

Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya

If all the polysaccharides of the primary plant cell wall are digested away, the remaining component(s) of the primary cell wall would be

Extensin and other proteins

What are integrins

Integrins are proteins that span the plasma membrane and connect the cytoskeleton to the ECM.

Reasons why a cell requires energy

Mechanical work Making new materials Transport Maintaining order

cytoskeleton

Microtubules are important for the correct functioning of cilia

Both animal and plant cells typically contain

Plasma membrane, Golgi apparatus, cytosol, ribosomes

Define the term plasmodesmata

Plasmodesmata are cytoplasmic channels in plant cell walls that allow continuity of the plasma membranes from two adjacent cells and cytoplasmic exchange between the cells
