Agricultural lands frequently require nutritional supplementation because

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria and detrivores do not cycle nutrients as effectively as they do on wild lands. 
  2. The nutrients that enter the plants are not returned to the soil on lands where they are harvested. 
  3. The prairies that comprise good agricultural land tend to be nutrient-poor.
  4. Grains raised for feed must be fortified, and thus require additional nutrients.

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

The ability of a population of fibroblasts to migrate along the surface of a tissue culture dish depends on adhesion between the cell surface and the extracellular matrix molecules coating the dish. The dish is coated with laminin, and the only cell-surface protein capable of binding laminin is a cell-adhesion protein called an integrin. Integrins are integral plasma-membrane proteins that function as heterodimers. Under these conditions the rate at which a fibroblast can migrate along the laminin coated culture dish is proportional to the strength of adhesion between the cell and the laminin substrate. The table below lists the rate of cell migration observed for fibroblasts genetically engineered to generate the indicated phenotypes.

 Which of the following is the most likely explanation for failure of overexpression of the integrin alpha subunit to alter the rate of fibroblast migration?

In research on aging (both cellular aging and organismal aging), it has been found that aged cells do not progress through the cell cycle as they had previously. Which of the following, if found in cells or organisms as they age, would provide evidence that this is related to cell signalling?
