Explain the role of membrane carbohydrates in cell-cell recognition?
membrane carbohydrates are used for the selection of cells to make tissues, and the rejection of foreign cells (like in your blood). Cells recognize each other by binding to surface molecules, often carbohydrates, on the plasma membrane. Membrane carbohydrates may be covalently bonded to lipids of more commonly proteins (forming glycoproteins). Carbohydrates on the external side of the plasma membrane vary among species, individuals, and even cell types in an individual
59 33 The insertion of a human DNA fragment into a bacterial cell might make it possible for what?
1 for bacterial cell to produce a human protein
What are cell walls made up of?
If you are referring to plant cell walls, then they are made up of primarily cellulose and carbohydrates. Even though carbohydrates do make up cell walls in plants, cellulose (a polymer of glucose {consists of many glucose molecules}) is the primary structural component of a plant cell wall.
Why is a tree's surface harder than human skin?
The cells that make up the tree contain a cell wall and cellulose, while the human skin cells have no cell wall and only a cell membrane.
What 4 elements make up the human tissue?
The four elements that make up the greatest percentage of the human body by percentage of body mass are oxygen (65%), carbon (18.5%), hydrogen (9.5%), and nitrogen (3.2%) but there are many others in smaller amounts.
What helps make cell walls hard?
Carbohydrates and Proteins
Where are carbohydrates stored in cells?
Carbohydrates are sugars that the cell can use to make ATP (energy) through glycolysis, kreb cycle and aerobic respiration.
What is the name of the long strands of carbohydrates found in the cell wall to make it rigid?
cellolose

Which compounds store energy and make up most of the cell membrane lipids proteins carbohydrates?
Lipids.
Is it true that carbohydrates also make a part of the cell membrane?
No, carbohydrates are NOT a major components of cell membranes, which are mainly comprised of lipid (fat molecules). Proteins sit in and on the membrane and SOME of the proteins are glycosylated, which means that they have sugar or carbohydrate attached to them. So there are carbohydrates in cell membranes, but they are not a major component.
How do you make a sentence using the word cell as in human cell?
My body contains cells.
What is the energy producing organelle in the plant cell?
Mitochondria, the energy from carbohydrates is released and use to make ATP molecules
What percentage of an elite athletes diet is carbs?
The human body does not need carbohydrates, they are non-essential. Because of this there is no amount of carbohydrates which you should consume.But Vitamin C is an antioxidant which the body can't produce by it self. This vitamin is found in vegetables and in smaller amounts in fruits and berries. These foods do contain carbohydrates and unless you want to eat supplements you will have to eat certain amounts of carbohydrates in order to keep your body functioning correctly.Parts of the human brain demands glucose in order to function properly. Carbohydrates supplies the body with glucose, which has caused people to believe that carbohydrates are needed. But the body can make glucose from protein and fat. This process is called "gluconeogenesis".

Why does a cell wall not make sense in animal cell?
because the animal cell has 45 different tibula's and the human cell only has 4
