When a hormone molecule binds to a specific protein on the plasma membrane the protein it binds to is called?

... a receptor protein.


A researcher made an interesting observation about a protein used to build a cell's plasma membrane The final protein in the plasma membrane was slightly different from the protein made by the ER?

The observed difference between the final plasma membrane protein and the ER protein could be attributed to post-translational modifications. These modifications, such as glycosylation or phosphorylation, can alter the protein's structure and function during its journey through the cell to its final destination in the plasma membrane. This dynamic process allows cells to fine-tune protein function for specific roles in different cellular compartments.


Is protein the component of the plasma membrane that may act as a doorway for charged particles?

No


The plasma membrane has a double layer of phospholipids with what dispersed throughout?

Proteins are dispersed throughout the plasma membrane along with cholesterol molecules. These components help maintain the structure and functions of the membrane.


Is the cytoskeleton in the plasma membrane?

No. It is attached to the plasma membrane though, which is important. The cytoskeleton gives cells shape and rigidity etc and so it is important for it to be attached to the plasma membrane. The cytoskeleton is composed of molecules that are located in the cytoplasm but that are attached to the plasma membrane via specific proteins. Hope that helps!
