- 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_forwardA main function of the cell membrane is to be very selective as to what is able to cross through, a condition known as a barrier. In the fluid mosaic membrane model, lipids are organized in a arrangement, such that portions of the lipids are exposed to either the interior or exterior of the cell, while the lipid portions are sandwiched in the middle of the membrane. As part of the cell membrane, a main function of proteins is to provide while a main function of proteins is to provide Other cell membrane molecules include which function to provide fluidity to rigid membranes and rigidity to fluid membranes; and surface carbohydrates, which function to provide . Aminophospholipids move to the inner leaflet of the membrane, by an enzyme known as thearrow_forward
- Explain how proteins are largely responsible for cell structure and functionarrow_forwardNow assume that the protein you are making is one that is not destined to be secreted into the extracellular space, but instead is meant to function within the cytoplasm. How will the synthesis of these types of protein be different? Why?arrow_forwardInsulin is a protein that is produced by pancreatic cells and secreted into the bloodstream. Which of the following options correctly lists the order of the structures in the endomembrane system through which insulin passes from its production to its exit from the cell? rough ER, transport vesicles, Golgi apparatus, vacuole, cell membrane rough ER, Golgi apparatus, smooth ER, cell membrane rough ER, transport vesicles, cell membrane rough ER, lysosomes, transport vesicles, cell membranearrow_forward
- Which of the following statements are correct about how the complex biological matrix of the cell may affect protein folding, stability and function (select all that appy)? A. ATP tends to "bounce" along the surfaces of many proteins without forming a stable complex B. Proteins make up approximately 30% of the total volume of the cytoplasm in a typical cell C. Compettition between drug molecules and metabolites in the cytoplasm may cause unexpected drug side effects not seen with individual proteins in solution. D. Large protein complexes move faster through the cytoplasm than small metabolites. E. Complex intercations between proteins in the cell may significantly destabilize a protein compared to the isolated protein in waterarrow_forwardThe network of interactions engaged in by protein at cellular level is described ina) Phenotypic functionb) Cellular functionc) Molecular functiond) Structural genomicsarrow_forwardExplain Modular nature of protein domains.arrow_forward
- Name the three organelles that are associated with making and shipping a protein.arrow_forwardWhich of the following ions must be kept to very low concentrations within the cell cytoplasm in order to allow for enough substrate molecules to synthesize nucleotides and nucleic acids? HCO3- (bicarbonate) Ca2+ (calcium) PO43- (phosphate) Na+ (sodium) K+ (potassium)arrow_forwardUsing the space below, draw a model (picture, representation) of a cross-section of a cell membrane, including and labeling the following elements: a. Phospholipid bilayer, noting hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails b. Cholesterol c. Integral membrane proteins (include 1 glycoprotein and label the carbohydrate) d.
