ER retrieval signal...
If you were to remove the ER retrieval signal (KDEL) from protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), which is normally a soluble resident of the ER lumen, where would you expect the modified PDI to be located?

I'm having a diffucult time understanding free energy vs activation energy are they the same? I know free energy is the portion of a system's energy that is available for work but what is this compared to the activiation energy?
Imagine that a starving cell reached the stage where every bit of its ATP was depleted and converted to ADP plus phosphate. If that cell were placed in fresh nutrient broth at this point, would it recover and survive? Explain your answer on the basis of what you know of glucose breakdown.
Often, prokaryotic cells exist as simple unicellular organisms, but in some species, prokaryotic cells can grow together in colonies or filaments. In addition, some species, such as Cynaobacteria or Myxobacteria, demonstrate intercellular communication, or might even produce specialized cells and structures. However, only euk

Which is faster facilitated diffusion or active transport? Ideas are given.
I am trying to compare process osmosis and diffussion and how does the two process help a plant leaves remain firm? 2. How exactly does a cell membrane structure related to its function?
Of the pathways in respiration, which one produces the least energy? The Next least? The Most? How do you know this, and why is this important to the environement we live in (ie on Earth?)? Ideas are presented.
1. The integrity of the plasma membrane is essential for cellular survival. Could the immune system utilize this fact to destroy foreign cells that have invaded the body? How might cells of the immune system disrupt membranes of foreign cells? (Two hints: virtually all cells can secrete proteins, and some proteins form pores in
