The liver takes up cholesterol for excretion and metabolism from three
different lipoprotein particles (LDL, chylomicron remnants and HDL).
Describe the discovery, structure and functional characteristics of the
three receptors involved. Where appropriate, include examples of
genetic mutations that helped identify functional domains within each
receptor, and hence provided insight into uptake mechanisms.

  1. Cystinuria is a disease characterized by the abnormal production of painful kidney stones. The stone formation does not appear to be related to patient dehydration. These stones are produced because certain amino acids tend to build up and crystallize outside the transport cells. Can your group think of any reason why a cell might fail to reabsorb organic molecules?
  2. Epulos, a bacterium growing in the gut of tropical surgeonfish can reach the size of 500 micrometers. How does this compare to other bacteria and what problems does this present the Epulos? What are some ways that a cell this size could alter its structure to survive?
  3. Many biologists speculate that the first major steps in the evolution of a eukaryotic cell from a prokaryotic ancestor would be the loss of a cell wall and the development of an extensive cytoskeleton. Why do you suppose these steps are so important? Specifically discuss what these steps allowed a eukaryotic ancestor.

Male butterflies sometimes court females of other species with similar wing patterns. You are interested in how long males persist in courting the wrong female. You decide to test each male with a dead female, to control for the effect of the female’s behavior. You use three types of test females: one from the same species as the males, one from a different species with a similar wing pattern, and one from a different species with a different wing pattern. Each pair is placed in a cage, and you measure courtship time in seconds.​

#1 Female of same species: 23, 20, 17, 25, 28

#2 Female of different species, similar pattern: 18, 27, 24, 21

#3 Female of different species, different pattern: 22, 21, 23, 20

a. Which statistical test would you use to look for differences?

b. Perform the test. What is your test statistic? Can you reject your null hypothesis?

c. Give a biological reason why your test may have come out the way it did.
