You have identified a novel protein that associates with the plasma membrane. You do not know whether this protein is a peripher

al or a transmembrane protein. You therefore analyze the primary amino acid sequence (listed in the three letter code) for the presence of a transmembrane domain.
Met - Asp - Leu - Lys - Ile - Pro - Gly - Val - Glu - Arg - Met - Phe - Leu - Ile - Ser - Lys - Gly - Thr - Asp - Tyr - His - Asn - Gln - Val - Met - Val - Gly - Pro - Asp - Glu - Ala - Ala - Ala - Val - Met - Arg - Trp - Cys - Met - Phe - Ile - Val - Val - Val - Thr - Val - Glu - Glu - Gly - Asp - Met - Val - Ala - Ile - Ile - Val - Leu - Pro - Lys - Arg - Trp - Tyr - Phe - Ala - Gln - Tyr - Ala - Val - Leu - Ile - Leu - Met - Ala - Trp - Leu - Val - Phe - Val - Ile - Leu - Ala - Arg - Lys - His - Ala - Val - Ile - Leu - Trp - Tyr - Ala - Gly - Gln - Gly - Asn - Arg - His - Cys - Lys - Met

How many potential transmembrane domains can you identify in this protein?

a) 0
b) 1
c) 2
d) 3
e) 4

Answer:

(e)

Explanation:

Transmembrane protein are proteins that are firmly associated with membranes because it is integrated along the length of bilayer lipid membrane. This kind of protein is made up of two kinds of amino acid, hydrophilic or polar amino acid and hydrophobic or non polar amino acid. while peripheral protein loosely associated with membrane, they are present on the surface which means they are not integrated in to the cell membrane and facing intercellular fluid. this is why it contains only hydrophilic amino acid.

The primary amino acid sequence contains hydrophobic amino acid which identifies the protein as transmembrane protein. These amino acid are methionine (Met), leucine(Leu), valine(Val), glycine(Gly), tryptophan(Trp), isoleucine(Ile), phenylalanine(Phe), proline(Pro) and alanine(Ala)

What can be said about prokaryotes and eukaroytes?
Murrr4er [49]
Eukaryotes always have a cell membrane, but prokaryotes don't. Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells are both building blocks of life in different organisms. The main difference of two is in its structures. Eukaryotic cells contain organelles that are found inside membranes, like the nucleus, which stores chromosomes and DNA. Prokaryotic cells don't have a nucleus and no true chromosomes. Prokaryotic cells are unicellular while eukaryotes are multicellular. The presence of mitochondria, chloroplasts, and cell wall are all distinct to Eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells are found in animals and plants, while bacteria and archaea have prokaryotic cells.<span>  

<span>In terms of existence, prokaryotes have been on Earth for millions of years; while eukrayotic cells have come to existence through the process of evolution.  </span></span>

No other cell in your body has the structure of a neuron. based on your knowledge of form and function, what can you infer from
noname [10]

It follows that no other cell in the body performs a neuron's exact functions.

<h3>What about neurons?</h3>
  • Information is transmitted via neurons.
  • They communicate between various brain regions and between the brain and the rest of the nervous system through electrical impulses and chemical signals.
  • The basic building blocks of the brain and nervous system are neurons (also known as neurones or nerve cells).
  • The cells known as neurons are responsible for receiving sensory data from the outside world, sending commands to our muscles, and converting and relaying electrical signals at various points along the road.
  • The bulk of neurons in vertebrates are found in the central nervous system, however some are found in peripheral ganglia and many sensory neurons are found in sensory organs like the retina and ear.
  • A neuron is made up of a cell body, which includes a nucleus and cytoplasm, from which long, thin portions that resemble hair grow.
  • The neuron's lone long component, known as the axon, is responsible for carrying nerve impulses to various body areas.
  • Dendrites are the short, branching components of the neuron.
