Glycophorins are a type of membrane protein found on red blood cells. They allow red blood cells to circulate through the blood vessels without sticking to the walls of the blood vessels or to other cells. Describe how a glycophorin protein would be synthesized by the cell. Include
What parts of the cell are involved and what happens at each location.
The process of protein synthesis (i.e. transcription, translation, etc).
Define the term transmembrane proteins?
Describe how a carrier protein functions. What role do carrier
proteins serve in the cell? Why are they necessary? Where

- In the context of cell biology, what do we mean by form follows function? What are a least two examples of this concept?arrow_forwardA particular DNA sequence encodes for MRNA that then encodes for the amino acid glutamate in a protein. A mutation occurs in the DNA that changes the MRNA codon for the glutamate into a different codon. Which change would cause the least disruption to the structure of the protein? Hint: Think about the nature of the various R groups (side-chains) of the amino acids, and how intermolecular forces/interactions govern the way a protein folds into its three-dimensional structure. The codon for the glutamate is changed into a stop codon. The codon for the glutamate is changed into the codon for aspartate. O The codon for the glutamate is changed into the codon for phenylalanine. O The codon for the glutamate is changed into the codon for serine.arrow_forwardConsider Molecule X, which is found in all living cells. Each form of this molecule is keyed to the genetic code for a particular amino acid. When activated, the amino acid is covalently bonded to one end of this molecule, and it carries the amino acid to a ribosome to take part in protein assembly. What is the name of X? Your answer should be one word, or a short two- or three-word phrase. Spelling counts. Note: if there is more than one possible answer, separate each answer with a comma. 0arrow_forward
- Describe the location and characteristics of integral and peripheral membrane proteins.arrow_forwardDescribe how proteins enter the endomembrane system through the endoplasmic reticulum, are next sorted by the Golgi Apparatus and how they are targeted and delivered to their final destination (lysosomes, plasma membrane, E.R., etc.)arrow_forwardUsing the the enzyme acid hydrolase in the lysosome: What is the final destination in which the protein will function? Which features will the protein receive during its manufacture? What is the primary structure (general)? Where is the primary structure made? Where are the secondary and tertiary structures made? Will the protein travel through any organelles during its manufacture? Which ones? What would be the overall result if some part of the manufacture process went wrong, such that the protein ended up as nonfunctional?arrow_forward
- A single celled, prokaryote organism has the ability to use the Na+/K+ pump in their cell membrane to move Na+ out of the cell and K+ into the cell. The Na+ /K+ pump is an example of a functional protein because it a) is a Polypeptide presents specific shapes that interact with (binds with) specific molecules, b) uses electrical interactions with these molecules to produce change in its shape or motion. C) interacts with specific molecules based on the fit of the molecule into specific active sites in the protein, d) As a result of the interaction with specific molecules, it can bind with ATP and use the bond energy in the ATP molecule to move the target molecule(s). e) all the answers are true.arrow_forwardThe network of interactions engaged in by protein at cellular level is described ina) Phenotypic functionb) Cellular functionc) Molecular functiond) Structural genomicsarrow_forwardName the three major assumptions made by the "Cell theory". (i) The lipid membrane is composed of lipid molecules. Explain the principle of membrane formation highlighting the role of the physical properties of the lipids. (ii) Comparing dimensions and length scales is often a first step in an analysis. Give an approximate value for the thickness of a lipid bilayer and the linear length of a helical turn of a DNA double helix.arrow_forward
