What effect would you predict acrylamide treatment would have on the mechanical rigidity of a keratinocyte (skin cell)?

explain your answer.
a. disrupting intermediate filaments will result in cells that are less susceptible to mechanical forces. in the case of the keratinocytes, disrupting keratin, a key if in these cells, would result in the production of microfilaments and thus very tough cells.
b. more force would need to be applied using the magnetic beads to damage them or change their shape.
c. disrupting intermediate filaments will result in cells that are more susceptible to mechanical forces. in the case of the keratinocytes, disrupting keratin, a key if in these cells, would result in very fragile cells. less force would need to be applied using the magnetic beads to damage them or change their shape.
d. disrupting intermediate filaments will have no effect on their susceptibility to mechanical forces. in the case of the keratinocytes, disrupting keratin, a key if in these cells, would not change the amount of force needed to be applied using the magnetic beads to damage them or change their shape.

C is surely the answer

C. Disrupting intermediate filaments will result in cells that are more susceptible to mechanical forces. In the case of the keratinocytes, disrupting keratin, a key IF in these cells, would result in very fragile cells. Less force would need to be applied using the magnetic beads to damage them or change their shape.

easy

explanation:

the correct answer is - d. china has a large and growing population.

the fact that china has a large (the biggest) population, and it is still growing, doesn't hinder the agriculture production in the country. in fact, it can for increased production in the agriculture, since there's more labor force, as well the sheer mass of people produces lots of scientists that come up with new inventions as to how to improve this sector. nice example is the inner mongolia region in china, in general dominated by the gobi desert, but few scientist came up with a nice idea as to how to make the region productive by using plants that are very resistant to droughts, so lots of people have been employed, and the region is becoming greener and greener each year, and the production of food in this region is also increasing.
