Summary Introduction

To review:

Define the followingbiological terminologies:

Peripheral protein

Integral protein

Lipid raft

Passive transport

Active transport

Introduction:

The plasma membrane of the cell is made up of the lipid bilayer. Many types of proteins are also embedded in the plasma membrane. These proteins are mainly glycoproteins that mediate various cell activity. To function successfully, plasma membranes also facilitate the transporting of molecules across the cell membrane by passive and active transport.

Students have asked these similar questions
what is a protein that contains a b-sheet and how does the secondary structure contributes to the overall function of the protein.
draw and annotate a b-sheet and lable the hydrogen bonding. what is an example that contains the b-sheet and how the secondary structure contributes to the overall function of your example protein.
Four distinct classes of interactions (inter and intramolecular forces) contribute to a protein's tertiary and quaternary structures. Name the interaction then describe the amino acids that can form this type of interaction. Draw and annotate a diagram of the interaction between two amino acids.
