The primary filter to exclude proteins from the filtrate is the?
the basement membrane
Is not a function of protein in a cell membrane?
Proteins are not primary components of cell membrane. The proteins on the cell membrane have special functions, like receptors and transporters.
Is it true that proteins at the inner surface of the plasma membrane attach the membrane to the cells support structure making the cell rigid?
The primary proteins of cellular structure (such as in microfilaments or intermediate tubules) is myosin and actin, and sometimes collagen, and all of these are proteins in the cell. Because proteins generally connect to similar structures (aka other proteins), and the cellular membrane must SOMEHOW be attached to the primary cell structure, and it is easier to connect to the inner membrane than outer, the answer is yes.
How proteins are suited for their roles as receptor molecule?
Mark scheme: - Many different sorts of proteins - Different primary structure/sequences of amino acids - Tertiary structure - Shape; allowing formation of receptor/binding site/site into which substrate/substrate fits
What is the primary molecule of the cell membrane?
membrane lipid which is made up of phospholipids and glycolipids. both phospholipids and glycolipids makes up glycerolipid.
What receptor does caffeine block in order to stimulate?
The primary receptor for caffeine on the cell membrane is the adenosine receptor. Caffeine acts as a non selective antagonist at the A1 and A2A receptors, so it has the opposite effect of adenosine, acting as a stimulant and increasing heart rate.
What are the proteins that are present in your body?
Proteins are the body building biomacromolecule seen in the body. Proteins are biopolymers of the basic twenty aminoacids through peptide bonds. Proteins have different levels of structure - Primary, secondary, tertiary (single peptide protein) and quarternary structure (Subunit proteins). Proteins are either globular or fibrillar in nature. Proteins can be classified based on the conjugation and function as follows: * Receptor protein - Photoreceptor Rhodopsin * Nucleoprotein - Histones * Metalloprotein - Haemoglobin, myoglobin - respiratory pigments * skeletal and muskular proteins - actin, myosin, dystrophin * Membrane protein - seen in lipoprotein membrane, RBCs as antigens * Facilitating proteins - Chaperones or heat shock proteins * Structural proteins - keratin, collagen * Immunoproteins - immunoglobulins * Enzymes and hormones - trypsin, insulin
Where is the primary sensory cortex located?
The primary sensory cortex (or primary somatosensory cortex) is part of the postcentral gyrus in the brain, which forms part of the parietal lobe.The main function of the primary sensory cortex is it is a receptor for the sense of touch.parietal lobe
The primary structural component of a cell membrane is?
Phospholipids. Phosphate heads and carbon-carbon tails. Some are carbon=carbon tails.
What is the key structural element of a cell membrane?
The primary structural component of a cell membrane is the phospholid layers. This is mainly made of proteins which facilitate various cell activities.
What are all the kinds of proteins?
on the basis of chemical structure and solubility: globular protein; albumin;globulin;proalamines and histones on the basis of functions: structural protein;enzymes and catalyst protein;transport protein,hormonal p.; contractile p.; storage p.; genetic p.; defence p.; and receptor protein.
What is the primary component of membranes that gives membranes cell specific properties?
Proteins. One type is the trans-membrane protein: it is comprised from three segments - the inner, middle and outer.
