Most bacteria live in a solution that is hypotonic relative to the cytoplasm of the bacteria. The cell wall of a bacterium is a peptidoglycan polymer that is tightly cross-linked. This would therefore function to


A) regulate the flow of most molecules into and out of the bacterial cell.
B) provide a rigid wall that prevents the cell from swelling.
C) provide a rigid wall that prevents the cell from shrinking.
D) confirm a close relationship to plant cells that have a similar structure and live in hypotonic solutions.
E) make all bacteria fairly uniform in metabolic chemistry.

B) The nuclear envelope contains pores that allow the mRNA to exit through.
C) A vesicle will bud off from the nuclear envelope containing the mRNA.

The springtail is a very common small insect that lives in rotten logs, rich soil, and other humid places. Its cuticle is water repelling (hydrophobic) except for a strange organ, the collophore, on its ventral side. Because it lacks the excretory organs of other insects, the springtail has this organ in contact with the water (it is responsible for ion balance and secretion of wastes) . If we examined the cell structure of this collophore, we would expect to find a high number of


A) nuclei.
B) ribosomes.
C) Golgi bodies.
D) lysosomes.
E) centrioles.
