Integral proteins are one type of membrane protein. They are constantly associated with the membrane, carrying out many different functions but they do not maintain the strength of the cell membrane. The sentence is False.

-----------------------------------

Plasmatic membranes are composed of lipids and proteins.

Among the proteins, we can find integral proteins and peripheric proteins.

Integral proteins are permanently associated with the membrane.

They accomplish many different functions such as substances transport, cellular receptors, cellular adhesion, among others.

According to how they are incrusted in the lipidic bilayer, integral proteins might be,

Transmembrane proteins ⇒ span the entire membrane

⇒ present in every membrane cells

Monotypic integral proteins ⇒ attached to only one of the lipidic layers

Integral proteins provide structure to the plasmatic membrane, but they do not maintain its strength.

If all photosynthesizing organisms were removed from the planet would animals still be able to perform cellular respiration?

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because oxygen will not be available for breathing and energy will not be released for cellular activities because photosynthesizing organisms have chlorophyll and trap light energy ffrom sunlight , using carbondioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen. Oxygen is the by product which is the gas that is inhaled by living organisms during respiration and also break glucose to release ATP. Therefore without these organisms, respiration will be difficult.

What are other sources of fuel used to produce atp besides glucose?

crimeas [40]

Answer:

Aerobic metabolism is the most efficient way of producing ATP; it produces significantly more ATP for each molecule of glucose than anaerobic metabolism. Although the primary source of ATP in aerobic metabolism is carbohydrates, fatty acids and protein can also be used as fuel to generate ATP.

Describe the cell-surface events leading to neutrphil movement to site of infection.

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Neutrophils help fight infections because they ingest microorganisms and secrete enzymes that destroy them. A neutrophil is a type of white blood cell, a type of granulocyte and a type of phagocyte.

Explanation:

Neutrophils display adhesion glycoproteins on their surface to bind endothelial and subendothelial structures. They move randomly until they find a damaged site. Unless neutrophils are activated, endothelial cells do not tend to adhere. When inflammation mediators (IL-1, FNT) activate endothelial cells, they express P-selectin and E-selectin on the surface. The expression of glycoproteins and L-selectin cause the initial adhesion of the non-stimulated neutrophil to the activated endothelium, slowing it down by rolling it over the endothelium. Activated endothelial cells, opsonized particles, immune complexes, FEC-G, FEC-GM and chemoattractants produce factors that stimulate neutrophil activation. Expressing β2 integrin (endothelium adhesion molecule) Neutrophils expand and form pseudopods. Neutrophil activation also promotes degranulation, superoxide generation, and arachidonate metabolite production.
