Well, let's get this started with something simple and essential then:

1. The distribution of covering epithelium?

2. The difference between exocrine and endocrine glands?

Are you sure these are questions for cell biology? It looks like anatomy to me. Or maybe I've been studying the wrong stuff oop :oops:

It seems possible to me that the poster is a very convincing bot mimicking a human, so feel free to ask the next questions

I'm glad I wasn't the only who thought I was studying the wrong things, haha!! Since no one's asked yet, I'll go! (I hope I'm studying the right things...) Starting off with the basics...

1. Which amino acids are known as alpha helix breakers?

2. What is the theory that explains the origin of chloroplasts and mitochondria?

3. Which of your grandparents have mtDNA closest to yours? Paternal grandmother, paternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, or maternal grandfather?

1. Which two amino acids are the most unsuitable for alpha helices? Why?
2. An inhibitor binds to both the enzyme and the enzyme-substrate complexes equally. What type of inhibitor is it?
3. A sample of carbohydrate is extracted from a plant cell. Upon closer examination, it is formed from beta-linked glucose monomers. What carbohydrate is it and where in the cell was it most likely extracted from?

1. Glycine and proline. Their small size interferes with the hydrogen bond formation between rings of the helix.
2. Noncompetitive inhibition
3. Cellulose; cell wall
