Molecule ability to diffuse across semipermeable membrane?

Biology
1 answer:
Fudgin [204]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Smaller molecules diffuse easily as compared to the larger molecules. In other words, smaller is the size of molecule, easier and faster is its diffusion across a semipermeable membrane.

Diffusion is a process by which molecules move ( via semipermeable membrane) from an area where its concentration is higher to an area where its concentration is lower.

Size of molecules can impact the process of diffusion as smaller is the size, faster is the rate of diffusion.

A mechanism by which cancer cells can evade an immune response involves an alteration in the amount of MIC on the cell surface b
kvasek [131]

Answer:

cleavage of MIC at the cell surface by a protease

Explanation:

The immune system refers to a complex network of cells and proteins that function to eliminate potentially tumorigenic cells on a daily basis. However, cancer cells show mechanisms in order to escape immune responses. MHC class I chain-related proteins A and B (MICA and MICB) are expressed in normal and tumorigenic cells where they act as ligands of the NKG2D receptor. The expression level of these proteins (MICA and MICB) is finely regulated by the activity of metalloproteinases (i.e., by protease-mediated cleavage), but this mechanism is altered in cancer cells. Recently, drug therapies that stimulate NKG2D mediated tumor destruction by reducing the cleavage of MICA and MICB from the surface of cancer cells have been developed.
