Utilize lipid packing models to design a hairpin turn
in a membrane--- use the shapes of a cylinder, cone and inverted
cone to stimulate the way different phospholipids occupy space
What are four major functions
of membrane proteins? How are
membrane proteins inserted into the membrane -
give details of two methods. Give a specific
example of a protein that is an integral membrane protein. How can
we determine from gene sequence information whether the protein
will be an integral membrane protein?
The membrane of a cell is made mostly of a phospholipid bilayer
(with proteins and other molecules embedded in it). Explain how the
chemical properties of phospholipids make the cell membrane an
effective barrier against ions while at the same time allowing
non-polar molecules like oxygen to cross freely.
Discuss the role of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins
in maintaining the structure of the cell membrane and explain the
effect of denaturation agents on the structure of
proteins.
1..The plasma (cell) membrane
is composed of a bilayer of proteins
is composed of a bilayer of phospholipids
is composed of chains of carbohydrate molecules
is a compl;ex of carbohydrates and proteins
H..Which of the following is not a function of
membrane proteins?
act as carrier molecules for various solutes
cell nutrient
act as anchors or stabilizers for the cell membrane
regulate the passage of ions
bind to ligands
I...The control center for cellular operations is the
mitochondria.
Golgi apparatus....
Cell Biology Short Answer Question: In
multipass membrane proteins synthesized in association with
membrane-bounded ribosomes of the rough ER, signal-anchor and
stop-transfer anchor sequences alternate. What do these sequences
do? Compare and contrast Type I, Type II and Type III ER membrane
proteins.
The DNA in a cell's nucleus encodes proteins that are eventually targeted to every membrane and compartment in the cell, as well as proteins that are targeted for secretion from the cell.For example, consider these two proteins:1. Phosphofructokinase (PFK) is an enzyme that functions in the cytoplasm duringglycolysis.2. Insulin, a protein that regulates blood sugar levels, is secreted from specializedpancreatic cells.Assume that you can track the cellular locations of these two proteins from the time that translation is complete...
Sketch a membrane contain the lipid bilayer, peripheral membrane
proteins, and integral membrane proteins. Label the lipid bilayer,
peripheral membrane protein, an integral membrane protein. Name the
types of intermolecular forces that hold peripheral and integral
membrane proteins to the membrane and name the reagents that can be
used to remove each type of membrane protein from association with
the membrane.
Describe the structure of the cell membrane. Identify 3
different types of components (proteins, lipids, or carbohydrates)
of your choice that are found within the membrane. What is the
function of the components and why is it located within the
membrane?
