Attachment proteins anchor the cell membrane in various ways. Some attachment proteins bind the plasma membrane to the network of protein filaments within the cytoplasm called the cytoskeleton. The attachments between plasma membrane proteins and the underlying protein filaments produce the characteristic shapes of animal cells, from the dimpled discs of red blood cells to the elaborate branching of nerve cells. other membrane attachment proteins bind the cell to a matrix of other protein fibers that exist outside the cell. Still other attachment proteins form junctions between adjacent cells. .13 is a wonderful thing. lolz.

What is the type of cell attachment that resembles quilting with proteins acting as stitches?
Tight Junctions.
Where does the attachment of a mRNA molecule to a ribosome take place?
The attachment of a mRNA molecule to a ribosome takes place in the cytoplasm of a cell.
What is an attachment site for the temporalis?
The proximal attachment is the temporal bone. The distal attachment is the manible. More specifically the corinoid process.
Functions of proteins embedded in the membrane?
There are two types of proteins that are embedded in phospholipid membranes, extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic proteins are only partially embedded in the membrane. They aid the structural stability of the membrane and when in conjunction with glycolipids can be involved in cell recognition. Intrinsic proteins pass all the way through a membrane. Some of them may be channel proteins which act as passages through the membrane for some molecules and ions.
What does the rough endoplasmic reticulum do in an animal and plant cell?
Protein modification, basically Proteins are threaded right into the rough ER from ribosomes, modified, attachment of sugars for instance, then shipped to the Golgi for further modification and final destination shipping.
What are the external proteins used for attachment called?
the answer is fimbriae -shannon
What is an ankyrin?
An ankyrin is any of a family of adaptor proteins which mediate the attachment of integral membrane proteins to the spectrin-actin based membrane skeleton.
What is the type of cell attachment that resembles quilting with proteins acting as stitches?
Tight Junctions.
What are the spikes and there function in a virus?
Spikes are proteins that are part of the viral capsid/envelope (depending on if the virus is a naked virus or not). It helps with attachment to the host cell. They are derived from their host cell's own proteins (but are not the same as their hosts), and can help in evading the host cell's defenses.
Where does the attachment of a mRNA molecule to a ribosome take place?
The attachment of a mRNA molecule to a ribosome takes place in the cytoplasm of a cell.
The process of coating bacteria with serum protein attachment of phagocytes is called?
in some instances, adherence occurs easily, and the microorganism is readily phagocytized. Microorganisms can be more readily phagocytized if they are first coated with certain serum proteins that promote attachment of the microorganisms to the phagocyte. this process is called opsonization.
Does the endoplasmic reticulum dispose waste in a cell?
no the endoplasmic recticulum synthesizes proteins, lipids and steroids, metabolizes carbohydrates and steroids (but not lipids), and regulates calcium concentration, drug metabolism, and attachment of receptors on cell membrane proteins. The lysosome disposes of the waste inside of a cell.
What is a sentence for attachment?
The attachment has become loose.His attachment to me is a bit creepy.
The meaning of attachment?
An attachment can be two things. One kind of attachment is something that can be added to a device, for instance a vacuum attachment tube. Attachment can also mean a special connection, as in "He had an attachment to his favorite horse".
How do you read an attachment sent to you by email?
You can read an attachment by left clicking on the attachment, or right clicking on the attachment and left clicking on "Open".
What is the funtction of the microtubules?
Microtubules are conveyor belts inside the cells. They move vesicles, granules, organelles like mitochondria, and chromosomes via special attachment proteins. They also serve a cytoskeletal role. (from cytochemistry.net)
What does the endoplasmic do in a animal cell?
Protein modification, basically Proteins are threaded right into the rough ER from ribosomes, modified, attachment of sugars for instance, then shipped to the Golgi for further modification and final destination shipping.
