Cell structure Description Function Cell type Cell wall Freely permeable layer surrounding cell membrane. The cell wall of plant cells is made from cellulose. This gives them a rigid structure.

At the molecular level, we now believe that these transporters function as oligomeric complexes at the cell membrane, and that they are regulated primarily through phosphorylation, protein ...

The gas exchange system is made from key parts, each of which has a different function. Bronchus The ... form a solution then pass through the cell membrane. Need some extra resources to support ...

In order to provide a cell with energy, these molecules have to pass across the cell membrane, which functions as a barrier — but not an impassable one. Like the exterior walls of a house ...

Researchers have revealed the structure ... cell's cytoplasm. The Damme group at Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel seeks to elucidate the function of specific proteins on the lysosome's membrane.

Regarding this situation, Akihiro Kusumi has proposed that the functions of the plasma membrane are regulated by the cytoskeleton, upon part of which the plasma membrane rests. Not only does the ...

But understanding the structure and interactions of cholesterol ... implications for understanding diseases related to cell membrane function, particularly cancer, where membrane organization ...

Bulding a cardiolipin binding site into a computationally designed transmembrane protein uncovers how proteins can recognize specific lipids and use them to regulate their function.

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

This specialized cytoskeletal structure is located below the cell membrane and consists of numerous ... that paralemmin-1's ability to fulfill its function depends on a single tryptophan amino ...
