Proteins build up cells and control their chemical reactions by means of enzymes which is a natural catalyst.

∙ 13y agoActually the main skeleton of cell membrane is phospholipid, and proteins either float in the bilayer of phospholipid or attach to the outer layer of the membrane. Protein floats in the bilayer are usually carrier proteins and protein channels. Withe the help of Carrier proteins, cells can actively transport large particles into the cell(facilitated diffusion or active transport). Protein channels are for ions. The proteins that attached to the surface of the membrane are usually glycoproteins. They work as the signal acceptor to recognize signals such as hormones and toxins.

Do prokaryote cells contain organelles?
They do but the organelles are not bound in membranes.
What DNA molecules contain information on building Specific?
proteins. A step by step (or amino acid by amino acid) instruction.
What part of the cell enters the cell and leaves?
The only things that enter and leave cells are molecules and proteins. organelles do not leave the cell.
What used directly to make proteins in all cells?
Ribosomes are the organelles that produce proteins.
Proteins is considered the building blocks what?
Proteins are the main building blocks for tissues including muscle, hair, nails, skin, eyes, internal organs, nerves, ligaments, tendons, cartilage and membranes. They are also the building blocks of cells, cellular membranes, organelles--all the way to the level of DNA and genes.
What organelles are found in proteins?
well, ribosomes make proteins within a cell, but mitochondria have proteins.
What are the smallest units that make up your body?
Your body is made of cells, which are made of various proteins, membranes, and organelles, which are made of molecules, which are made of atoms, which are made of electrons, protons, and neutrons, which are made of quarks.
Which best describes a difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells?
Eukaryotic cells contain organelles that are enclosed in membranes
Do prokaryote cells contain organelles?
They do but the organelles are not bound in membranes.
Do Eukayote cells have membrane bound organelles?
Yes, the organelles in eukayote cells are wrapped in membranes.
What DNA molecules contain information on building Specific?
proteins. A step by step (or amino acid by amino acid) instruction.
What part of the cell enters the cell and leaves?
The only things that enter and leave cells are molecules and proteins. organelles do not leave the cell.
What organelle is made up of one single cell?
There are none. Organelles are found IN cells. They are made up of membranes and proteins. An organelle to a cell is like an organ to a human.
Are cells a type of protein?
No, cells are composed of all macromolecules: proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Cells definitely contain protein in the membranes and organelles, but they're not wholly made up of protein or are a type of protein.
What are cells that have internal membranes surrounding organelles?
Animal and Plant cells have internal membranes surrounding organelles. Animal cells have a cell membrane protecting the organelles. Plant cells have a cell membrane as well as a cell wall surrounding organelles.
What used directly to make proteins in all cells?
Ribosomes are the organelles that produce proteins.
What cells has the greatest number of different cellular organelles made of membranes?
Plants
