What part of the protein is within the membrane itself?
Ahh, the fluid mosaic model... any such above named protein is 'bound' to have three parts, or Regions. These are namely, the extracellular domain, the intracellular domain and the Trans-membrane Region. This latter is a segment of protein that is comprised mainly of non-polar amino acids that makes it particularly hydrophobic, suitable for residence within the bi-lipid layer.
Does DNA transform itself so protein synthesis can occur?
Yes, DNA can transform itself so protein sunthesis can occur.
Does the egg itself has calcium?
no, the shell does, but the egg itself is high in protein :) hope this helps
What is bulk transport in cells?
i think its when a cell cant fit all the food in through the membrane so the cell wraps itself around the food to dissolve it using centrioles
What type of protein helps identify foreign cells?
An antibody is a highly specific protein that attaches itself to a foreign substance.
In order for a protein to be an integral membrane protein it would have to be what?
the whole protein must be amphipathic but the surface itself must be hydrophobic.

What moves things through the cell membrane?
If you mean through the cells itself, that would be the endoplasmic reticulum but if you mean substances from the outside of the cell into the cell that is done by protein channels.
In what way is a cell membrane selective?
very complicated question that is better addressed by a cell biology text but in general cell membrane itself is non-polar and allows small non-polar molecules through it also has protein that are built to selectively let in molecule based on commands from the body
Is protein a bacteria?
no. bacteria will contin protein, but protein itself is not a bacteria.
What is the Definition of membrane invagination hypothesis?
The membrane invagination hypothesis assumes that the prokaryotic cell membrane folded in on itself so thmbrane was formed. This double membrane is common in the organalles of eukaryotic cells. The DNA becomes attached to one such infolding resulting in a presursor of the nucleus. Later this infolding enclosed DNA within interacellular sac forming the primordial nucleus.
Why does DNA have to send messenger RNA instead of going out into the cell itself?
1. DNA is tightly packed into chromosomes; 2. t-RNA will only recognize mRNA and this is the way a protein is built.
How do you get a MP3 player to recognize that it has data on it?
it should recognize data by itself unless its in an unrecognizable format
Is a membrane a bacterial cell?
No. A cell membrane is a structure found in cells. It is not a cell in and of itself.
What is inside the animal cell that the animal virus recognizes?
Viruses don't "recognize" things inside animal cells. They actually "recognize" pieces of the cell membrane. Most specifically, they recognize proteins on the surface of the cell membrane. It is like a lock-and-key mechanism. When the virus particle (the lock) bumps into a specific protein (the key) on the cell membrane, it binds to it. This allows the virus to inject its genetic material into the cell. Once the genetic material - sometimes DNA, sometimes RNA - is inside the cell, it finds its way into the nucleus, inserts itself into the cell's DNA (genes) and basically takes it over. It forces the cell's genetic machinery into making hundreds and thousands of viral parts that are then put together like automobile factory to form new viruses. Once the cell is full of them, the cell ruptures releasing the new viruses to infect other cells.
Is Potassium a protein?
No. It is more like a mineral than a protein. A protein is just something by itself.
Why dont enzymes digest the cell itself?
The reason why a lysosome does not digest itself or the cell is because it has an inner membrane that is coated with glycocalyx. This membrane contains poly-lactosamine which prevents the digestive enzymes from gaining access.
