If the endoplasmic reticulum were removed from the cell, which organelle would not be able to function properly, and why? mitochondria, because they rely on the ER as an energy source ribosomes, because they receive proteins made by the ER Golgi apparatus, because it packages proteins received from the ER cytoplasm, because it relies on the ER for structural support

Assume that you are interested in separating short (200-400 bp) dna molecules from a pool of longer molecules in the 10,000-20,000 nucleotide range. you have two recipes for making your polyacrylamide gels: one recipe uses 1.5 percent agarose and would be considered a “hard gel,” while the other uses 0.5 percent agarose and would be considered a loose gel. which gel should you use to separate the short (200-400 bp) dna molecules from a pool of longer molecules in the 10,000-20,000 nucleotide range?
