What component of a phospholipid membrane helps the cell interact with its polar watery environment?
Membrane proteins.
What folds proteins in a cell?
Chaperonins provide a good environment to facilitate protein folding.
Substances inside the plasma membrane are?
Plasma membrane in made up of phospholipid bilayer and proteins. It has a hydrophobic tail facin each other on the bilayer, and polar head that face outside to the polar environment. Proteins such as integral and peripheral proteins are presenting on the membarane.
How membrane proteins interface with and respond to changes in the extracellular environment?
Put the lime in the coconut and shake it all up.
What are stable proteins?
Stable protein is a term that define the chemical or biophysical stability of a protein. Proteins are highly sensitive to pH, temperature and buffer environment(ions, metals). They are stable at optimal condition, change in one of these condition may cause them to precipitate or cause aggregates. Stable proteins are normally considered as active. Soluble proteins that are invisibly aggregated are not going to be stable to make its activity due to the structural change.
Why are proteins biologically significant?
All life as we know it consists of proteins (in solution) reacting to their environment.
What component of a phospholipid membrane helps the cell interact with its polar watery environment?
Membrane proteins.
What organs aid in the chemical breakdown of proteins?
Stomach - highly acidic environment will denature and/or break down proteins.
Why is it important that proteins exist in a stable environment?
otherwise they would denature
The intracellular environment is best described as?
The intracellular environment is best described as organelles, cytoplasm, water, proteins, and other chemicals, nucleus.
How do carnivorous plants survive in their environment?
By capturing and digesting the proteins of insects in their specialized structures.
What folds proteins in a cell?
Chaperonins provide a good environment to facilitate protein folding.
Digestion of proteins?
Pepsin digest protein in the acidic environment of the stomach, Pancreatic Protease digests protein in the basic environment of the small intestine.
Why is an acidic environment in the stomach beneficial?
In order for the body to be able to limit digestive proteins' functionality to the stomach, digestive proteins are made so that they can only function in extremely acidic environments. Stomach acidity is the body's way of satisfying this requirement.
Active transport of proteins from a cell's environment into the cell is most closely associated to what?
Cell membrane
What is intracellular environment?
is best describe as organelles, cytoplasm, water, proteins, and other chemicals, nucleus.
What substance in the stomach helps digestion?
The Stomach is where Proteins are digested. This needs an acid environment and enzymes like pepsin. The digested proteins are not absorbed into the body by the stomach - this happens further down the alimentary tract.
