Question 1
Nervous tissue includes two types of cells: neurons and glial cells. Glial cells are mitotic, whereas neurons are not (except the small population of stem cells). Which type of cell is most likely to be involved in brain cancer, and why?
Question 2
Cell membranes are made up of lipid, protein, and carbohydrate in relative amounts that vary according to cell type. Describe the relative proportions of these substances in three structures, and relate these differences to cell function where possible.
