What is inner membrane protein and outer membrane protein How can you get membrane protein from E. coli and how to separate the inner and outer membrane protein?

Inner membrane proteins are embedded in the inner membrane of bacteria, while outer membrane proteins are located in the outer membrane. To obtain membrane proteins from E. coli, you can disrupt the cells through methods like sonication or French press, followed by using differential centrifugation to separate the inner and outer membrane fractions based on their densities. Further purification techniques such as density gradient ultracentrifugation or membrane solubilization can be used to isolate inner and outer membrane proteins specifically.

What is the membrane that surrounds each lung and reduces the friction of breathing?

They are called pleura. There are 2 membranes, the visceral which is the outer slippery covering, and the parietal which is the inner covering, with a cavity in between them called the pleural cavity

An outer membrane and an inner membrane, the inner membrane being used during cellular respiration


What are the parts of a mitochondrion?

A mitochondrion consists of an outer membrane, an inner membrane, cristae (folds in the inner membrane), a matrix (fluid-filled space inside the inner membrane), and ribosomes and DNA for protein synthesis within the matrix.


What is the inner membrane?

It is called cristae. There are inner foldings


What are folded layers of the inner membrane in mitochondria called?

I think you are referring to the cristae. These are the folded parts of the inner membrane. The purpose is to increase surface area of the inner membrane against the matrix. The membrane is the site of the energy transfer in the mitochondria, so having more surface area is a plus.


Where does the electron transport chain take place in the mitochondria?

The electron transport chain takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane of the mitochondria. It consists of a series of protein complexes that transfer electrons and generate a proton gradient across the inner membrane, which is used to produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.

What is the membrane covering the lung and chest cavity?

The membrane lining on the lung is the visceral pleura and the membrane lining the inside of the chest cavity is the parietal pleura.
