Transport proteins in the cell membrane allow for selective passage of specific molecules from the external environment. Each transport protein is specific to a certian molecule (indicated by ...

An important cell membrane protein is found to have a role in regulating ion transport in plant cells, which could help plants be more salt-tolerant. The research focused on one of the genes that ...

This takes place when molecules diffuse across the cell membrane by travelling through specific transport proteins. It occurs down a concentration gradient - molecules move from an area of high to ...

Supports and strengthens cell? Cell membrane Selectively permeable double layer of lipid and protein molecules? All cell types ? Fluid enclosed by the cell membrane, containing organelles and ...

This function relies to a large extent on the presence of "adherens" and "tight junctions," veritable protein locks ... make the apical membrane—the top of the cell—less stiff and certain ...

Protein translocation is an essential, nano-scale dynamic process that facilitates the movement of proteins across cellular ...
