What protein is an intergal protein membrane?
An integral membrane protein is a type of protein that is embedded within the lipid bilayer of cell membranes. These proteins often span the membrane, with portions exposed on both the extracellular and intracellular sides, allowing them to play key roles in various cellular functions, such as transport, signal transduction, and cell-cell recognition. Examples of integral membrane proteins include receptors, channels, and transporters. Their hydrophobic regions interact with the lipid tails of the membrane, anchoring them securely in place.
How do Integral membrane proteins function?
The location of their polar and non-polar amino acids. I'll buy that. But there's more. the membranes are hydrophyllic (polar) on the outside and hydrophobic (non-polar) on the inside. Proteins that pass through the membrane are stabilized by the membrane, and also stabilize the membrane in return. Based on the sequence of the amino acids, there are polar / hydrophyllic parts of the protein and nonpolar / hydrophobic parts. They interact with the membrane like little magnets to hold everything in place...
The lipids within the fluid mosaic of the plasma membranes are held in place by?
the phospholipids in the membrane are not actually held together by anything. They stay together because the heads are hydrophilic (water loving) and the tails are hydrophobic (they do not like water) so they line up in a bilayer with the tails on the inside and the heads on the outside and stay like this because of what each end of the phospholipid is attracted to
Why is the cell membrane described as a phopholipids?
Cell membranes are made up of a phospholipid bilayer.. they have a hydrophilic (water loving) head and two hydrophobic (water fearing) tails. Phospholipids contain a phosphate group and a lipid group, that's why they are called that.
Can mitochondria produce protein?
The short answer: No.Mitochondria are the power-house of the cell. It is where the Electron Transport Chain takes place as well as the production site almost all of the ATP a cell produces. Proteins are produced by ribosomes of the rough endoplasmic reticulum.Okay... the answer above is only partially true. Mitochondria do, in fact, synthesize some of their own proteins, due to the fact that they contain their own DNA. However, the first respondent is correct that most of the proteins used in a cell are synthesized in the rough ER. Hope this helps.
What concentration does active transport take place in?

What are the building blocks of phospholipids?
A phospholipid molecule is made up of fatty acids and a platform to which fatty acids are attached. A phospholipid molecule is also made up of a phosphate, and an alcohol that is attached to the phosphate.

Are membranes often perforated by proteins that extend through both sides of the membrane?
Yes, proteins that span across membranes are called transmembrane proteins. These proteins play key roles in transporting molecules across membranes and in cell signaling. They have hydrophobic regions that interact with the membrane's lipid bilayer to anchor the protein in place.
