Proteins are the main structural and functional components of cells.

Each group of three bases in mRNA constitutes a codon, and each codon specifies a particular amino acid. The mRNA sequence is thus used as a template to assemble in order the chain of amino acids that form a protein.

The sequence of a protein is determined by the DNA of the gene that encodes the protein change in the gene's DNA sequence may lead to a change in the amino acid sequence of the protein. The sequence of amino acids of a protein determines protein shape, since the chemical properties of each amino acid are forces that give rise to intermolecular interactions to begin to create secondary structures, such as α-helices and β-strands.

This is a type of protein found in the cell membrane, which regulates the coming and going of substances into or out of the cell

Answer:

Gated ion-channels

Explanation:

These ion channels are protein molecules that act as a passageway which span across the cell membrane allowing the movement of ions from one side of the membrane to the other. They possess the ability to open and close in response to either chemical or mechanical signals.They possess a fluidic pore, which becomes available to ions after a conformational change in the protein structure has been activated causing the ion channel to open. Based on the stimulus to which they respond, ion channels are divided into three groups: voltage-gated, ligand-gated and mechano-sensitive ion channels. Channels responding to electrical (voltage-dependent ion channels), mechanical, or chemical (ligand-gated ion channels) stimuli open and allow rapid ion movement into or out of the cell, and this movement creates an electrical signals.

All animals are _______.

Sophie [7]

Consumers. Obviously all animals are not b or c as there are animals that are both. Plants are producers as they produce energy, and animals consume the energy making them consumers.
