An antibody that binds to myosin prevents the movement of myosin molecules along actin filaments (the interaction between actin and myosin is described in Chapter 17 ). How do you suppose the antibody exerts this effect? What might be the result of injecting this antibody into cells (A) on the movement of chromosomes at anaphase or (B) on cytokinesis? Explain your answers.
If a cell is exposed to a chemical that inhibits the production of spindle fibers as the cell is preparing for mitosis, what would most likely happen?

What would you expect to happen in cells that secrete large amounts of protein through the regulated secretory pathway if the ionic conditions in the ER lumen could be changed to resemble those in the lumen of the trans Golgi network?
