Membrane transport protein

Nucleus: The nucleus is the control centre of the cell. It’s much like a blueprint that contains all of the instructions on building the body. It contains genetic material called DNA. This DNA has instructions for building proteins and is essential to cell reproduction. If a cell doesn’t have a nucleus for whatever reason will certainly die. The nucleus conforms to the shape of the cell so it could be oval or it could be spherical. The nucleus has three recognizable regions; the nuclear…

movement of smaller, nonpolar molecules moving across a membrane from a high concentration area to a low concentration area without any forces acting upon the substance. Facilitated diffusion is a passive diffusion process involving the transportation of large or polar molecules and ions across the cell membrane (which they cannot normally pass through) with the help of transport proteins. Because facilitated diffusion is a form of passive transport, no energy is required for the movement of a…

different body tissues. The responses which are triggered by hormones depends not only on those hormones, but also on the target cell. When the target cell receives the hormone signal, it can respond to them in the different ways like: stimulation of protein synthesis or secretion of the products and activation or deactivation of enzymes. The target cell activation depends equally on three factors, the blood level of the hormone, the relative number of the receptors for that hormone on the…

as the nuclear membrane which is a bilayer membrane that encloses the contents of the nucleus throughout the lifecycle of the cell. The membrane of the cell is selectively permeable meaning that it only allows certain things to go in and out. The cytoplasm which is surrounded by…

cell's genetic material and usually has a double membrane. The double membrane that protects the nucleus is similar to the thin single membrane made up of proteins and lipids. The membrane controls the passing of substances entering…

Transport of proteins into the nucleus occurs via a channel called nuclear pore complex (NPC), which penetrates and spans the nuclear envelope, a double membrane that separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm. The outer nuclear membrane is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum, hence giving a shorter pathway for proteins to enter the nucleus; inner nuclear membrane contains proteins acting as binding site for nuclear lamina, indirectly providing support for the NPC as the primary function of…

1) A.) The specific DNA changes caused by the delta F508 mutation, include a production of the abnormal cystic fibrosis protein. This mutation can only be inherited if both genes in pair of DNA carry the cystic fibrosis mutation. The specific mutation functions as a chloride channel, that has an abnormal amount of salt and water balance. Normally a chloride channel would help to maintain the right balance salt and water inside a cell, but those mutated with F508 mutation, are imbalanced causing…

headquarters, and with that our micro-V96 craft was propelled towards the cell membrane for the first leg of our journey to investigate the process of Protein Synthesis in a eukaryotic animal cell. The cell membrane is a delicate wall of phospholipid molecules, consisting of hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails that swayed and looked like a mosaic. Our craft could not enter the cell directly through the semi-permeable membrane as it consisted of a negatively charged polysaccharide which was…

solution, and distilled water was used to show how a cell would react in a hypotonic solution. Cells and eggs are similar because they both have a selectively permeable membrane which molecules can move through. The molecules are able to move through the membrane du to cell transport.…
