through the hydrophobic core of the lipid bilayer‚ and peripheral proteins‚ which are appendages that are attached to the surface of the membrane. These proteins have many functions for the membrane including transport‚ enzymatic activity‚ signal transduction‚ cell-to-cell recognition‚ intercellular joining‚ and attachment to the cytoskeleton and the extra cellular matrix. The fluidity of the membrane‚ according to this model‚ is important because it allows for the processes of endocytosis and exocytosis

Justin Morgan 4/26/17 Homework Summary Summary of pathway presentations 1. CNTF Signaling Pathway Ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor (CNTF) also known as Akt contains three isoforms and regulates metabolism etc. Activation occurs down stream of P1-3K pathway. GSK is important and dysregulation of PK3 leads to Cancer‚ Diabetes and Schizophrenia. 2. Notch Signaling Pathway The Notch signaling pathway is a fundamental signaling system used by neighboring cells to communicate with each other in

What kind of molecules can and cannot pass easily across a lipid bilayer? Structure of a lipid bilayer A lipid bilayer is a membrane mainly composed of lipid molecules‚ usually a phospholipids (See Figure 1). Phospholipids are formed from 3 components :- (1) 2 fatty acids tails – these are hydrophobic; (2) a negatively-charged hydrophilic phosphate group; and (3) a glycerol backbone. The bilayer structure is favourable energetically because the hydrophobic fatty acid tails cluster

Advanced Food hygiene Assigment question 6 Non Bacterial Food Posioning Food poisoning can be caused by the consumption of food contaminated by substances other than bacteria. This can occur by contamination of the food by chemicals‚ the ingestion of poisonous plants and by eating fish or shellfish that have been feeding on poisonous plankton or living in contaminated waters. Several foods contain naturally occurring poisons. This is more common in plants; there are hardly any animals that are

Formal lab report: Abstarct: The Purpose of this experiment was to perform Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in Wild type Arabidopsis thaliana Columbia by using somatic plant transformation method. The whole process lasted for over a period of 11 weeks and we were successful in getting transformed plants. Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain containing pMP90 (Ti-helper) plasmid and pCAMBIA1391 (T-DNA) plasmid was used for this plant transformation. pCAMBIA1391 plasmid was constructed by cloning Brassica
