Function of recognition proteins?
Recognition proteins are involved in identifying and binding to specific molecules or cells. They play a key role in immune responses, cell signaling, and cell-cell interactions. In the immune system, recognition proteins help differentiate between self and non-self molecules.
What are peripheral proteins that allow cells to bind to one another?
Peripheral proteins are proteins located on the inner or outer surface of the cell membrane, and they play a crucial role in cell adhesion and communication. These proteins can bind to integral membrane proteins or to the lipid bilayer, facilitating interactions between adjacent cells or between cells and the extracellular matrix. Examples include cadherins, which mediate cell-cell adhesion, and integrins, which link cells to the extracellular environment. By forming connections, peripheral proteins contribute to tissue formation and cellular signaling processes.
How are perforins different from granzymes?
Perforins are proteins that form pores in the target cell membrane, allowing entry of granzymes into the target cell. Granzymes are enzymes that are delivered into the target cell by perforins and trigger apoptosis, or cell death, in the target cell.
What moves cell organelles from one location to another inside a cell?
Motor proteins help move organelles throughout the cell. Proteins always give energy, both in the human body system and within microscopic cells.
Why target cell respond to the hormone while others are uneffected?
Hormones are chemical messengers. In order to have an effect on a cell then it is necessary for the cell to have the correct receptor proteins. The hormone can bind to these receptor proteins and therefore will affect the cell.
What do the proteins in cell membrane do?
Many are active and passive transmember proteins for the passage of material into and out of the cell and some are markers on the cell surface that distinguish one bodies cells from another bodies cells.
What determines what cell a hormone will effect?
The target receptor proteins of cells will cause them to affected by a specific protein. These cells are also called "target" cells. Hormones flow via the bloodstream throughout the entire body, but they only affect their specific "target" cells.
explain why hormones in the bloodstream are able only to affect target cells/organs and not other cells/organs?
Hormones in the bloodstream are able to affect target cells/organs and not other cells/organs because of selective permeability. This means that hormones are only able to pass through the cell membrane of certain cells and organs, and not through the cell membrane of other cells and organs. The cell membrane of the target cells and organs are specialized to allow the hormones to pass through, while the cell membrane of other cells and organs are not specialized and are therefore impermeable to the hormones. This is due to the presence of receptor proteins on the cell membrane of the target cells and organs. These receptor proteins can bind to the hormones and facilitate their entry into the cell. Since these receptor proteins are not present on the cell membrane of other cells and organs, the hormones are unable to bind to them and therefore unable to cross the cell membrane. In addition, hormones can be broken down by enzymes in the bloodstream, which means they can’t reach their target cells and organs if they are exposed to the enzymes. This further ensures that hormones only affect the target cells and organs, and not other cells and organs. In summary, hormones in the bloodstream are able to affect target cells and organs and not other cells and organs because of selective permeability and the presence of receptor proteins on the cell membrane of the target cells and organs. Other cells and organs do not have these specialized receptor proteins and therefore cannot be affected by the hormones.

How does protein hormones reach their target cells?
Protein hormones are released into the bloodstream by endocrine glands and travel through the blood to reach their target cells. These hormones bind to specific receptor proteins on the surface of target cells, triggering a cellular response. The binding of the hormone to the receptor initiates a signaling cascade inside the cell, ultimately leading to the desired physiological effect.
