What membrane protein has sugars attached to itself and helps cells recognize self?
Glycoprotein
What makes it possible for the plasma membrane to self assemble?
The plasma membrane is able to self-assemble due to the properties of its constituent molecules, such as phospholipids. Phospholipids have hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails, which drives them to form a bilayer structure when exposed to water. This spontaneous assembly is driven by the hydrophobic effect and results in the formation of a stable and selectively permeable membrane.
What is the composition and function of each structure of the plasma membrane?
it is mostly water with many dissolved solute such as: nutrient, gases, hormones and wastes. Most plasma protein are produced by the liver. Albumin which is 60% of plasma protein serves as blood buffer to plasma osmotic pressure( the pressure that helps to keep water in the bloodstream). Another function of is plasma distribute heat.
Function of recognition proteins?
they enable cells to communicate with one another. It is possible due to cellular adhesion molecules on the surface of the membrane. They also distinguish foreign cells from self cells.
Why is a cell membrane described as a bilayer?
Phospholipids are lipids that are essential to cells because they make up cell membranes. When phospholipids are added to water, they self-assemble into double-layered aggregates, or bilayers, that shield their hydrophobic portions from water. The phospholipid bilayer forms a boundary between the cell and its external environment.

What is a membrane protein with carbohydrates attached that helps cells identify self and plays a role in blood types organ transplants and germ recognition?
glycoproteins
Where are the antigens of the ABO blood group are located?
They are found on the cell membrane of every cell, and help to distingish 'self' cells from 'non self' cells
Do carbohydrates bind to the outside of cell membrane?
Yes they can be bonded to the outside of cell membranes. The carbohydrates located on the cell membrane are there to help the cell in cell recognition to determine whether a particle close to it is one that it needs to have within it or one that it does not need or that could be potentially harmful to it. They have a specific orientation with the outer layer of the cell membrane to help more fully with the recognition of "self" vs. "other"
What are found in the plasma membrane of cells?
The cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer with water-soluble “heads” that form surfaces and water-insoluble “tails” that form the interior.In the membrane there are cholesterol molecules that stabilize the membrane so it isn't so flexible and proteins. These act as receptors, pores, channels, carriers and self-markers.

What is the tragic hero's transition from ignorance to knowledge called?
Recognition (or self-recognition)
What describes the transition of the tragic hero from ignorance to knowledge?
Recognition (or self-recognition)
What do glycolipids do?
Glycolipids may be involved in cells signalling that they're ''self''; to allow the immune system to recognise them. They could also be hormone receptors Glycolipids are a carbohydrate with lipids attached. Their main function is to provide energy and to serve as markers for cellular recognition. Glycolipids are found in cell membrane animals tissues and nerve cells, composed of lipids and carbohydrates such as glucose or galactose as in cerebrosides or combination with sialic acids in gangliosides. It provide energy as well as cell recognition. In cell membrane it is bonding with water molecules. and I was there whn john died
When a tragic hero undergoes a change from ignorance to knowledge this is referred to as?
