How does the structure of the cell membrane support it to perform its functions? Explain.Cell:It is defined as the smallest and the basic unit of life. It is responsible for all the life's processes. It is made up of several components such as plasma membrane, cyt...
How does environmental pollution affect red cell function in fish? Aquat. Toxicol., v. 22, p. 227-238, 1992.Nikinmaa, M. 1992. How does environmental pollution affect red cell function in fish. Aquatic Toxicology. 22(4):227-238.
The cell membrane is an important component of the cell. It is a semipermeable membrane that allows the transport of selected types of molecules through it. It contains specific receptor that allows the entry of ion, nutrient and metabolic product into the cell....
1. The basic structure of the cell surface membrane is a phospholipid bilayer.2. The hydrophilic phosphate heads of the phospholipids are in contact with the acqueous environment on either side of the membrane.3. The hydrocarbon tails are shielded away from the aqueous environment and create a ...
FSH is a glycoprotein made up of two subunits: α and β. The α subunit is shared with other pituitary hormones, while the β subunit provides specificity for FSH receptor (FSHR)8. In the “niche” microenvironment, FSHR is expressed only on the cell membrane of SCs9. FSH and its recep...
Receptor proteins are embedded in the cell membrane in such a way that their small part possessing active site projects out of he surface of the it membrane and opens on the outside region of the cell membrane .
Autophagy is a catabolic cellular process involving dynamic membrane rearrangement. Here, we review the understanding of autophagy, focusing on the late stages of the process, from the closing of the autophagosome to fusion with the lysosome. We propose
Bacterial chemotaxis requires bidirectional flagellar rotation at different rates. Rotation is driven by a flagellar motor, which is a supercomplex containing multiple rings. Architectural uncertainty regarding the cytoplasmic C-ring, or ‘switch’, limi
In the next section, we'll see what happens as a sound wave travels down the ear canal and interacts with the eardrum. The Eardrum Once the sound waves travel into the ear canal, they vibrate the tympanic membrane, commonly called the eardrum. The eardrum is a thin, cone-shaped piece...
