Which of the following are possible functions of the glycoproteins in the plasme membrane?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
Glycoproteins determine your blood type and bind sites for toxins or bacteria.
They are chemical pathways allowing ions to pass through the membrane.
Their functions are ion receptors, cell recognition, cell binding, and cell signalling.

Functions of proteins in cell membrane?
Proteins can act as : Receptores, ones with active sites that can become functional; Recognition, especially glycoproteins; Transporter proteins, both active and passive transporters; Sturctural, maintaining the integraty of the membrane Some play a part in intracellular and extracellular signalling
State one possible reason a certain substance can not pass across a cell membrane?
The cell membrane is selectively permeable. Some substances like molecules are too big to pass through the membrane. The membrane allows passive transport of moleculesÊ by filtration, diffusion, or osmosis.
Does osmosis require membrane proteins?
No, osmosis is a special type of diffusion in which a water molecule is able to passively transport through a membrane without a protein. Although it is polar, it's extremely small size makes this possible
Can you survive a shot to the medulla oblongata?
If the shot misses or causes only minor damage to vital parts of the brain, then yes it's possible.
How is it possible for some molecules to be at equilibrium across a biological membrane and yet not be at the same concentration on both sides?
The equilibrium distribution of a molecule across a membrane depends on concentration and membrane potential. A charged molecule will respond to both components of the electrochemical gradient and will distribute accordingly. K+ ions for example, are at equilibrium across the plasma membrane even though they are 30-fold more concentrated inside the cell. the difference in concentration is balanced by the membrane potential, which is more negative on the inside. The membrane potential opposes the movement of cations to the outside of the cell.

State the domain and range for the following functions?
The domain is the set of all input values, the range is the set of all output values. It is not possible to be more specific when you have not included any details of the functions.
What are the different kinds of functions in mathematics?
There are infinitely many functions and it is therefore not possible to list them.
How many functions can be made with a b c and d e f?
There are 27 possible functions.
What does it mean when a chick makes it through the shell but not through the membrane?
This is not possible. For the chick to break the shell, it must first break the membrane.
The cell membrane allows some substance to pass through it and exclude others this is possible because the cell membrane is?
semi permeable
How can concussion kill you?
If it is not treated, recognized, and/or severe, then yes, it is possible. It can kill you because, basically, it's a form of brain damage. If your concussion is very severe, and hits the right place, then it is possible that your vital functions will be compromised. Also, it is possible that if you are unconscious directly following a concussion, then you can slip into a coma. Hope this helped!
Why dynamic binding is not possible for normal C functions?
Dynamic binding is certainly possible for normal C functions. Binding is a function of the binder (linker) and has nothing to do with the language itself.
How do you override functions in c?
Not possible in C, only in C++
