A single eukaryotic cell not only has a membrane bound nucleus, but also numerous membrane
bound organelles. These organelles support the many varied activities that a cell is required to carry
out, but also add to the complexity of the intracellular environment. There has recently been an
upsurge in the interest around constructing artificial cells, or cell like materials for pharmacological
research or possibly even medical treatments.
Keeping in mind the relationship between structure and function, discuss the potential uses of
artificial cells and/or cell like materials and whether you consider them to be a good substitute for the
natural versions.
Using relevant examples, discuss the advantages and drawbacks of
protein expression in Escherichia coli and Pichia pistoris

Give two reasons why the diagram above does NOT represent a desmosome.
Make use of a neat, annotated schematic representation to discuss the structure and
function of desmosomes.
Pharmaceutical and healthcare companies are very interested in substances that affect the mitochondria and associated energy releasing metabolic pathways. Depending on their effect, such substances may potentially be developed into ‘weight-loss’ drugs or ‘weight-gain’ drugs. Some substances are marketed as nutritional supplements that increase energy levels and enhance athletic performance.
