What type of amino acid side chain would you expect to find on the surface of a protein embedded in a cell membrane?
hydrophobic, if the protein in the cell membrane is completely in, it means it is hydrophobic, therefore the amino acid chain is also hydrophobic.
What chemical structure makes up the cell mebrane?
The outer covering of the cell consisting of a lipid bilayer with proteins embedded in it.
How do your cells get oxygen glucose and the raw materials that they need to respire?
Your cells get oxygen and glucose through protein channels located on their cell membrane the phospholipid bilayer surrounding a cell.
Three major parts of the cell membrane?
The parts of the plasma membrane (I am assuming that you are referring to the plasma membrane) are hydrophilic (water-loving) heads, hydrophobic (water-hating) tails, cholesterol, carb chains, and integral proteins. The plasma membrane is known to be fluid-mosaic, meaning that its motion is wave-like. The hydrophilic head is located on the very outside of the plasma membrane and the inside of the cell. The hydrophobic tails are located in between the two hydrophilic heads. The cholestrol is located inside the plasma membrane to not allow the tails to be tangled. Carb chains are located outside of the plasma membrane (along with hydrophilic heads) and is there for chemical ID of the cell. Integral proteins are also located outside the plasma membrane; its function to shape materials needed inside the cell to a certain shape (diffusion). hydrophilic head-> OO <- hydrophilic head hydrophobic tails---------^
What cell is a cell membrane located in?
the "plasma" membrane encases the "exterior" portion of the cell ... human cell walls are comprised of a cellular or "plasma" membrane. the plasma membrane is also called the phoso-lipid bilayer
Why are the outside heads of phospholipids located on the outside of the cell membrane?
Tails are Hydrophobic
From which plasma membrane is made?
plasma membrane is made of a bilayer of lipids (or phospholipids) and protiens located inside and outside the same.
What type of amino acid side chain would you expect to find on the surface of a protein embedded in a cell membrane?
hydrophobic, if the protein in the cell membrane is completely in, it means it is hydrophobic, therefore the amino acid chain is also hydrophobic.
Where are phospholipids found in the cell?
Phospholipids are mainly seen in the cellular membrane of all organisms. They are made of a charged phosphate group, a glycerol, and fatty acid tails. There are pairs of phospholipids with the tails facing each other and the charged ends facing away from each other.
Where is water located in the phospholipid bilayer?
In the proteins
What chemical structure makes up the cell mebrane?
The outer covering of the cell consisting of a lipid bilayer with proteins embedded in it.
The structural arrangement of the cell membrane?
the cell membrane is composed of carbohydrates, proteins, and phospholipids. The proteins act as transport molecules to move material in and out of the cell (kind of like a tunnel). They are embedded in the membrane. These proteins are needed due to the phospholipid bilayer. The inside of the bilayer repels water, so this keeps all materials out of the cell unless it has been selected to be carried in by the proteins. The carbohydrates are located on the outside of the membrane. They recognize things the cell may need. For instance, ADH (Anti-diuretic hormone) is only needed in the kidneys, so the carbohydrates only recognize it there.
Where are cytochromes located?
usually associated with the inner membrane of the mitochondria
Where are cell membrane located in cells that do have cell walls?
In cells that do not have cell walls, the cell membrane is located on the outer side of the cell, and is made of a phospholipid bilayer.
What cell structure is located external body of the cell?
The phospholipid bilayer, as well as other microtubules, microfiliments and structural support units.
Where are the polar and non polar layers in the plasma membrane located?
the two fatty acid tails of the phospholipids are nonpolar, whereas the head is polar
Where is cholesterol located?
Cholesterol is found in the blood, phospholipid bilayer of cell membranes and in the liver where is it produced. It is also found in hormones.
