How does your body know which cells to attack?

1. Your immune system can recognize cells based on the proteins present on the surface of cells. Viruses, bacteria, and other foreign cells are recognized as being different from your own cells and are attacked by your immune system.


What are 2 ways that cells know to stop diving?

Cells know to stop dividing through mechanisms such as contact inhibition and the presence of regulatory proteins. Contact inhibition occurs when cells encounter neighboring cells, triggering signals that halt further division. Additionally, tumor suppressor proteins like p53 can detect DNA damage or cellular stress, leading to cell cycle arrest to prevent the propagation of damaged cells. These regulatory pathways help maintain tissue homeostasis and prevent uncontrolled cell growth.


Proteins in the cell membrane that identify the cell are called?

These proteins are called self markers. They tell the immune cells that they belong in the body and they should be attacked.Cell receptors (proteins) on the cell membrane mediate the inter cellular communications.


How do cells know what proteins to destroy?

Cells determine which proteins to destroy primarily through a process called ubiquitination, where proteins are tagged with a small protein called ubiquitin. This tagging signals to the proteasome, a cellular complex responsible for protein degradation, that the tagged protein should be broken down. Proteins can be marked for destruction due to various factors, including damage, misfolding, or being no longer needed for cellular function. Additionally, regulatory proteins and cellular signaling pathways can influence the ubiquitination process, ensuring that the right proteins are targeted for degradation.


What organelles can be found in both human and bacterial cells?

Organelles found in all cells are Ribsome, Cell Membrane, and Cytoplasm. For those who do not know, Cytoplasm is the fluid content of cells in which organelles float. Ribsome assembles proteins from raw materials, following dirictions from the Nucleus. A Cell Membrane surrounds the cell and controls the movement of materials into and out of the cell. ( A Nucleus regulates the production of proteins. It contains genetic material. )

Why do we have genes?

So that our cells will know how to make the proteins that they must make to exist.


What cell that are lack of membrane-bound nucleus?

Cells that lack a membrane-bound nucleus are called prokaryotic cells. These cells have their DNA located in the nucleoid region within the cytoplasm. Prokaryotic cells are found in bacteria and archaea.

What are the chemical building blocks of cells?

The primary chemical building blocks of cells are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. These molecules are essential for the structure, function, and regulation of cells in living organisms.

How does heart attack affect cells?

A heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked, causing a lack of oxygen to the heart muscle cells. This lack of oxygen leads to cell damage and death. The damaged cells release harmful substances that can trigger inflammation and further damage surrounding cells.

Bacteria have only one type of cells known as a?

Bacteria have prokaryotic cells, which means they lack a true nucleus and organelles surrounded by membranes. This distinguishes them from eukaryotic cells, which are found in organisms like plants and animals.
