Do small intestines have carrier proteins?

Yes; the small intestine has carrier proteins for transport, as do all other cellular structures.


What is a small sac that surrounds the materials to be taken into the cell or transported within the cell?

The vesicle is a small organelle that forms in a cell during the processes of uptake, secretion, and transport. Types of vesicles are vacuoles, lysosomes, transport vesicles, secretory vesicles, gas vesicles, matrix vesicles, and several bacteria related vesicles.


Is a vesicle an organ or a organelle?

A vesicle is an organelle. It is a small, membrane-bound sac that transports and stores substances within a cell. Vesicles are involved in various cellular processes, such as secretion, transport, and storage of molecules.


How does the structure of the membrane speed up or help speed up certain molecule transport without the use of energy?

Fluid membranes such as cellular membranes allow the passage of small and neutrally charged atoms and molecules, such as oxygen. In cells there are also carrier proteins that do not require ATP to transport larger molecules such as water.


How do chemicals come to your brain?

Chemicals enter the brain by passing through the blood-brain barrier, a selective barrier that controls which substances can enter the brain. Once in the bloodstream, chemicals can be transported across this barrier either by being small enough to pass through or by using specific transport mechanisms. Once inside the brain, chemicals can affect neuronal activity and neurotransmitter release, influencing brain function.

What are some hazardous materials you can transport by bus?

small arms ammunition, emergency shipment of drugs chemicals and hospital supplies


Is osmosis of active transport or passive transport?

Osmosis does not require ATP so it is a passive transport.Osmosis is a form of passive transport. Water molecules are small enough to move freely across the plasma membrane without the use of cellular energy.


What role do small uncharged polar molecules play in cellular processes?

Small uncharged polar molecules play a crucial role in cellular processes by helping to transport substances across cell membranes, regulate cell signaling, and participate in metabolic reactions within cells.


What are vasicles?

Vesicles are small sacs within a cell that store, transport, or digest cellular products and waste. They are involved in processes like protein and lipid transport within the cell, as well as in cell signaling and waste management.


What is a network of small vessels and organs that carries chemicals throughout the body?

The network of small vessels and organs that carries chemicals throughout the body is called the circulatory system. It includes the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries), and blood, which transport oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products to and from cells.


What organelle is not a common destination for small vesicles that bud off the Golgi apparatus?

The nucleus is not a common destination for small vesicles that bud off the Golgi apparatus. Small vesicles from the Golgi apparatus typically transport molecules to various cellular destinations such as the plasma membrane, lysosomes, or endosomes, but they do not typically transport molecules to the nucleus.


What is a small spherical structures that hold chemicals that digest the cells food?

The small spherical structure you are referring to is a lysosome. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris in a process called digestion or autophagy.

Is metabolism a part of cellular respiration?

Yes, True, yet in reverse: Cellular respiration is a small part of Cellular and Organismic Metabolism.


What does a vesicle look like?

A small spherical phospholipid bilayer (for polar substances) or monolayer (for hydrophobic substances). They also have embedded, enclosing or attached proteins for targeting, structure and transport.
