Please answer fast Transmembrane Transporters: Describe the structures and functions of the different transporters associated with prokaryotic cells that are discussed in the textbook and in lecture. Be sure to address the following points while including real world examples (along with genus/species of example organisms): Cellular Locations Protein structures that compose the transport protein/complex Activity for what is transported and what is the energy source (e.g., what is hydrolyzed or co-transported) to power the movement across the membrane
Multipass transmembrane proteins synthesized by ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum generally have which of the following arrangements of start-transfer and stop-transfer signals? multiple start signals and multiple stop signals (to allow multiple transmembrane regions) multiple start signals, but only one stop signal (to allow only one transmembrane region) only one start signal, but multiple stop signals (to allow only one transmembrane region) only one start signal, and only one stop signal (to allow only one transmembrane region) only one stop signal, and only one start signal (to allow only one transmembrane region)
Docking and Membrane Fusion. Q-8a. Choose from the terms below to Fill-in the Blanks. [All terms are used. Some terms are used more than once] Rab, SNARE, v- SNARE, t-SNARE, Tethering a. Identification of a vesicle to be docked depends on a diverse family of monomeric GTPases called proteins. First, a filamentous protein on a target membrane binds to a protein on the surface of a vesicle. This interaction allows the vesicle to dock on its particular target membrane. A on the vesicle then binds to a complementary_ on the target membrane. Whereas and proteins provide the initial recognition between a vesicle and its target membrane, complementary appropriate target membranes. Together, the proteins ensure that transport vesicles dock at their proteins catalyze the final fusion of the two membranes by squeezing out water making fusion more energetically favorable. b. What does the acronym SNARE stand for? c. Membrane fusion the rate limiting step of vesicular transport. Why? (What makes…

Cleavage Ligand Precursor Receptor Inactive Receptor Active Cell Membrane 6. The figure above shows a model of a ligand precursor being cleaved to produce an active ligand that binds to a specific receptor.

Or. Foyez Samar The volume enclosed by the plasma membrane of plant cells is often much larger the c corresponding volume in animal cells. The most regsengble explanation for this observation Is that A) plant cells are capable of having a much higher surface-to-volume ratio than animal cells. B) plant cells have a much more highly convoluted (folded) plasma membrane than animal cens. C) plant cells contain a large vacuole that reduces the volume of the cytoplasm. D) animal cells are more spherical, whereas plant cells are elongated. 12 A u
