The hydrophilic regions of a membrane protein are most likely to be found?
The hydrophilic regions of a transmembrane protein are likely to be found on the exterior of the membrane. The transmembrane protein may have three parts: a hydrophilic segment, a hydrophobic segment, and another hydrophilic segment. The hydrophobic region would be in between the hydrophilic regions. The hydrophobic region will be embedded in the membrane and the hydrophilic regions will be on the inside and outside of the membrane.
Which component of the cell membrane might contribute to maintaining the fluidity of plasma membranes under freezing conditions?
Cholesterol found between the phospholipids can keep the membrane from becoming too viscous during freezing conditions.
Which of these materials is not a major component of the plasma membrane?
This membrane is called the fluid mosaic model as it is a mixture of phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins and carbohydrates. It is mainly phospholipids. The proteins sort of float on the surface of the membrane like islands in the sea.Cholesterol is also found in the membrane. It prevents lower temperatures from inhibiting the fluidity of the membrane and prevents higher temperatures from increasing fluidity.
What cellular component would be responsible for the classic shape of a red blood cell?
'Spectrin' protein found in the outer cell membrane of the RBC Which give charctestics shape{BICONCAVE} .
What is the substance found in animal cell membranes?
there are three layers protein layer phospholipid layer protein layer
What is the cell membrane found in the animal?
The main component of cell membranes are phospholipids. There are also proteins, carbohydrates and cholesterol molecules found within the membrane.
What would a synovial membrane most likely be found in?
A synovial membrane is most likely to be found in the joint cavity.
Where in the cell are prokaryotic cells found?
Plasma Membrane are the phospholipids most likely found in a prokaryotic cell.
What is a lipid that is an important component of cells only in animal cells?
That lipid is cholesterol.It is found in cell membrane.
What is the component of the plasma membrane of eukaryote cells?
Phospholipid bi layer mainly.Otherthan proteins,carbohydrates,lipids canbe found
Mitochondria prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells but not in prokaryotic cells. Biochemical processes, such as respiration and energy production, occur in the mitochondria.
What is the major component of the plasma membranes?
Most of the membrane is composed of phospholipid molecules. These allow the membrane to be rather fluid (not stiff). Embedded in this membrane are proteins which give some structure to the membrane. The 3rd components are proteins or glycolipids. Cholesterol is also found in the membrane. It prevents lower temperatures from inhibiting the fluidity of the membrane and prevents higher temperatures from increasing fluidity. Cholesterol is only found in animal cells.

The hydrophilic regions of a transmembrane protein are likely to be found on the exterior of the membrane. The transmembrane protein may have three parts: a hydrophilic segment, a hydrophobic segment, and another hydrophilic segment. The hydrophobic region would be in between the hydrophilic regions.

Which component of the cell membrane might contribute to maintaining the fluidity of plasma membranes under freezing conditions?
Cholesterol found between the phospholipids can keep the membrane from becoming too viscous during freezing conditions.
Where are membrane proteins are found?
Surprisingly, membrane proteins are found in or attached to the membrane.
What passive channels are likely found in the pacinian membrane?
The efflux of potassium ions is maintained by passive potassium channels.
Which of these materials is not a major component of the plasma membrane?
