Why is there infinite variety possible in proteins?
Different 3D shapes, different number of proteins, different types of amino acids, and different sequences.
Why are muscle nerve and nerve cells different shapes?
Their different shapes help them to perform their various functions (jobs)
Consequences of proteins containing different numbers and different types of amino acids?
As proteins contain different numbers and types of amino acids they are different shapes and have different affinities for water and lipids.
Do the cells in many-celled organism often have different sizes and shapes?
With cells, the rule of thumb is, structure defines function. Different cells throughout the body perform different functions. To perform these functions, they need different shapes. They all have the same DNA, but different "blueprints" are activated depending on where they are in the body.
Proteins are made from small units called?
Proteins are made up of smaller units called amino acids which are strung together to form proteins which can be of different sizes and shapes.
What are the different shapes and functions of different proteins determined by?
The R groups of the amino acids they contain.
Why are shapes and sizes of cell different?
Cells are different shapes and sizes because they have different functions. The functions dictate the shapes and sizes.
How do plant cells have different shapes?
To perform different functions plant cells assume different shapes
Differences in R-groups give different proteins different what?
shapes
Why is there infinite variety possible in proteins?
Different 3D shapes, different number of proteins, different types of amino acids, and different sequences.
Differences in r-groups give proteins different what?
shapes.
Why are nerve cell and muscle cell different shapes?
Their different shapes help them to perform their various functions (jobs)
Why are muscle nerve and nerve cells different shapes?
Their different shapes help them to perform their various functions (jobs)
What determines the shapes of different types of Cells?
Cell shapes are Genetically Determined by and through Biochemistry.
Is this true or false proteins can be used interchangeably in the body because they have similar structures?
False. Proteins have very specific shapes and functions and cannot be used interchangeably.
What part of the cell receives proteins from the ribosomes and modifies and shapes the into functions?
Rough Endoplasmic reticulum (Rough ER)
Why are pores in a cell membrane different sizes?
The size of the membrane pores depend on the proteins constituting the pore, thus different proteins may cause different pore sizes. So in most cases, yes, the "pores" will most likely be of different sizes.
