Starting with a protein that has been inserted into the Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane with the Amino (N) terminal in the E

R lumen and the carboxy (C) terminal in the cytoplasm, describe the journey the protein will take until it is placed in the plasma membrane. Include any modifications that occur during the journey and where they occur. Also, always indicate where the N and C terminal are located.

Answer and Explanation:

Ribosomes are the primary structure for protein synthesis. They can be found in the rough endoplasmic reticulum or floating in the cytosol.  

Free ribosomes are not attached to any cytoplasmic structure or organelle. They synthesize proteins only for internal cell use. Other ribosomes are attached to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum and they are in charge of synthesizing membrane proteins or exportation proteins. Free and attached ribosomes are identical and they can alternate their location. This means that although free ribosomes are floating in the cytosol, eventually, they can get attached to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.  

Synthesis of proteins that are destined to membrane or exportation starts in the cytoplasm with the production of a molecule portion known as a <u>signal aminoacidic sequence</u>. This signal sequence varies between 13 and 36 amino acids, is located in the <u>amino extreme</u> of the synthesizing protein, and when it reaches a certain length, it meets the <u>signal recognizing particle</u>. This particle joins the signal sequence of the protein and leads the synthesizing protein and associated ribosome to a specific region in the Rough endoplasmic reticulum where it continues the protein building. When they reach the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, the signal recognizing particle links to a receptor associated with a pore. Meanwhile, the ribosome keeps synthesizing the protein, and the enlarged polypeptidic chain goes forward the reticulum lumen through the pore. While this is happening, another enzyme cuts the signal sequence, an action that requires energy from the ATP hydrolysis. When the new protein synthesis is complete, the polypeptide is released into the reticulum lumen. Here it also happens the protein folding (which is possible by the formation of disulfide bridges of proteins are formed) and the initial stages of glycosylation (the oligosaccharide addition).  

Once membrane proteins are folded in the interior of the endoplasmic reticulum, they are packaged into vesicles and sent to the Golgi complex, where it occurs the final association of carbohydrates with proteins. The Golgi complex sends proteins to their different destinies. Proteins destined to a certain place are packaged all together in the same vesicle and sent to the target organelle. In the case of membrane proteins, they are packaged in vesicles and sent to the cell membrane where they get incrusted.  

There are certain signal sequences in the <u>carboxy-terminal extreme</u> of the protein that plays an important role during the transport of membrane proteins. A signal as simple as one amino acid in the c-terminal extreme is responsible for the correct transport of the molecule through the whole traject until it reaches the membrane.

Are mules an example of speciation? Why or why not?
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Hybrids are the offspring of two species. A mule is the hybrid offspring of a female horse and male donkey. Because mules are sterile, they are not classified as a distinct species. The biological species concept connects the idea of a species to the process of evolution.

melomori [17]

Answer: 1- a(cofactor)

2.-c(apoenzyme)

3-b(coenzyme)

Explanation:

Cofactor are non -protein molecules that catalyzes reaction,they increase the rate of chemical reaction. They can be organic or inorganic.

Coenzyme can be derived from vitamins,organic molecules, they facilitate chemical reaction and can be bounded strongly to protein while others are bounded loosely to protein.

Apoenzyme are inactive enzymes that cannot catalyze reaction they lacks cofactor.

These cellular structures are utilized in strong involuntary muscle contractions and transmission of electrical impulses. ______
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: These cellular structures are utilized in strong involuntary muscle contractions and transmission of electrical impulses, would be: T-Tubules.

Explanation:

In both skeletal and cardiac muscle, not smooth muscle, because of the way that the muscle fibers are conformed into tight bundles of sarcomeres (skeletal muscle) and myocardiocytes (cardiac muscle), there is a need for a series of structures that will ensure that when there is a stimulus from the nervous systems, these stimulus will propagate to all the cells in the fibers, and not just one.

Aside from counting with a neuromuscular motor plate, which will receive the neurotransmitter from the nerve endings and produce the appropriate reactions, as well as propagate that reaction to all the cells that are being stimulated, muscle fibers also have a structure known as T-Tubules. T-Tubules are formations much like roadways of cell plasma membrane that connect not just one, but all the cells within a muscle fiber so that once a stimulus comes, all the cells will initiate the process of calcium release and action potential propagation. These T-Tubules will ensure that electrical impulses reach all muscle cells and that all cells react at the same time as needed.
