What part of the protein is within the membrane itself?

Ahh, the fluid mosaic model... any such above named protein is 'bound' to have three parts, or Regions. These are namely, the extracellular domain, the intracellular domain and the Trans-membrane Region. This latter is a segment of protein that is comprised mainly of non-polar amino acids that makes it particularly hydrophobic, suitable for residence within the bi-lipid layer.


Does the egg itself has calcium?

no, the shell does, but the egg itself is high in protein :) hope this helps


What Regulating transport of substances in and out of the cell is the?

The process of regulating the transport of substances in and out of the cell is called cellular transport. This includes processes like active transport, passive transport, and facilitated diffusion, which help maintain the cell's internal environment by controlling the movement of molecules across the cell membrane. The cell membrane itself plays a crucial role in regulating this transport through various protein channels and pumps.


What type of protein helps identify foreign cells?

An antibody is a highly specific protein that attaches itself to a foreign substance.


Does DNA transform itself so protein synthesis can occur?

No, DNA itself does not transform to allow protein synthesis to occur. Instead, a process called transcription converts the DNA code into messenger RNA (mRNA), which carries the instructions for protein synthesis to the ribosomes. The ribosomes then decode the mRNA to assemble proteins based on the genetic information stored in the DNA.

In order for a protein to be an integral membrane protein it would have to be what?

In order to be an integral membrane protein, a protein must have hydrophobic regions that can interact with the hydrophobic lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These proteins are embedded within the membrane rather than just associated with the membrane surface.


Does the cell membrane have tiny holes that allow materials to pass into and out of the cell?

The cell membrane contains protein channels and transporters that regulate the movement of materials in and out of the cell. These channels and transporters control the passage of specific substances into and out of the cell. The cell membrane itself does not have "tiny holes" but rather selective protein structures that facilitate the transport of molecules.

What is a free ribosome?

A free ribosome is a ribosome that is not attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum and is thus suspended in the cytoplasm.


What moves things through the cell membrane?

If you mean through the cells itself, that would be the endoplasmic reticulum but if you mean substances from the outside of the cell into the cell that is done by protein channels.


In what way is a cell membrane selective?

very complicated question that is better addressed by a cell biology text but in general cell membrane itself is non-polar and allows small non-polar molecules through it also has protein that are built to selectively let in molecule based on commands from the body


Why does DNA have to send messenger RNA instead of going out into the cell itself?

1. DNA is tightly packed into chromosomes; 2. t-RNA will only recognize mRNA and this is the way a protein is built.


How do you get a MP3 player to recognize that it has data on it?

it should recognize data by itself unless its in an unrecognizable format


Is a membrane a bacterial cell?

No. A cell membrane is a structure found in cells. It is not a cell in and of itself.


Is Potassium a protein?

No. It is more like a mineral than a protein. A protein is just something by itself.


What is inside the animal cell that the animal virus recognizes?

Viruses don't "recognize" things inside animal cells. They actually "recognize" pieces of the cell membrane. Most specifically, they recognize proteins on the surface of the cell membrane. It is like a lock-and-key mechanism. When the virus particle (the lock) bumps into a specific protein (the key) on the cell membrane, it binds to it. This allows the virus to inject its genetic material into the cell. Once the genetic material - sometimes DNA, sometimes RNA - is inside the cell, it finds its way into the nucleus, inserts itself into the cell's DNA (genes) and basically takes it over. It forces the cell's genetic machinery into making hundreds and thousands of viral parts that are then put together like automobile factory to form new viruses. Once the cell is full of them, the cell ruptures releasing the new viruses to infect other cells.


What is the difference in function between free ribosomes and attached ribosomes?

Free ribosomes are found in the cytosol, which is the fluid portion of the cytoplasm, and are responsible for manufacturing proteins that will function as http://www.answers.com/topic/soluble proteins within the cytoplasm or form structural elements, including the cytoskeleton, that are found within the cytosol.
