Use the following information to answer the question. In order to test how sea urchin sperm bind to eggs, scientists isolated the egg receptor protein

that binds to the sperm acrosomal protein called bindin. Plastic beads were coated with egg receptor for bindin (ERB1) from eggs of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, and then the beads mixed with sperm from S. purpuratus or from the related species, S. franciscanus. The researchers counted how many sperm were bound to each bead. The results are shown in the graph below. Treatments:

A: S. purpuratus sperm mixed with S. purpuratus ERB1 beads

B: S. purpuratus sperm mixed with beads containing no ERB1 protein

C: S. franciscanus sperm mixed with S. purpuratus ERB1 beads

D: S. franciscanus sperm mixed with beads containing no ERB1 protein

Based on the data in the graph, which of the following conclusions is supported?

Ultrastructural studies have led to the characterization of two distinctive cytological
pathways of PCD in plants;
I) Vacuolar-type PCD
II) Hypersensitive response-type (HR-type) PCD
a) cytosol and all its organelles, including the plasma membrane, are completely brokendown
b) The vacuole loses water, resulting in marked cell shrinkage, contraction from the cell wall,
and nuclear DNA degradation
c) PCD occurs in leaves in response to microbial attack
d) cell wall is either partially or completely digested as well, as in endosperm tissue
e) Continued water loss from the cytosol leads to the breakdown of the plasma membrane
and the release of residual cellular contents into the apoplast
Given characterization of PCD pathway match with its type PCD?

The autophagy pathway included____
a) the catabolic mechanism that delivers cellular components to lysosomes, where they are degraded
b) Autophagy protects the cell from the harmful or lethal effects of damaged or unnecessary proteins and organelles
c) During starvation, the autophagic breakdown and recycling of cellular components also
ensure cellular survival by maintaining cellular energy levels
