What is Extracellular Matrix (ECM)? b) Connective tissue, cartilage and bone tissue, vessels, cornes, etc. Discuss the features that Collagen and Elastin, which are found in many parts of our body such as structural proteins in the ECM, contribute to the structure. NS) Briefly explain what kind of protein structure you would choose to prevent rupture of a blood vessel

What is the highest level of protein structure found in collagen?
Based on the knowledge of molecular biology, the reason so many organelles, such as endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, plasma membrane, etc. can exchange material is because they are all topographically equivalent. How does the physical process of vesicle transport ensured that the topographic equivalence of all these organelles is maintained?
Researchers have discovered a new membrane protein that has three transmembrane domain αhelixes that span the lipid bilayer.a. If the lipid bilayer is 30 Å thick, what is the smallest number of amino acid residues thatcan be in each α-helixes for them to be long enough to span the bilayer?
Which of the following statements is true of membrane proteins? a) They are suspended on the surface of the membrane. b) They are partly embedded in the bilayer c) They span across the bilayer and project from both sides d) Any of these are true, depending on the specific membrane protein.
Multi-adhesive matrix proteins form adhesive bridges between what type of components or structures? Give an example of such an ECM protein?
In the "fluid " _______ cell membrane model, lipids are organized in a ________ arrangement, such that _______ portions of the lipids are exposed to either the interior or exterior of the cell, while the lipid portions are sandwiched in the middle of the membrane. As part of the cell membrane, a main function of peripheral proteins is to provide _________ , while a main function of proteins is to provide _________ . Other cell membrane molecules include a compound called __________, which functions to provide fluidity to rigid membranes and rigidity to fluid membranes; and surface carbohydrates, which function in the membrane not to provide energy, but instead to provide _________ _____ . Aminophospholipids (including PE and ) move to the inner leaflet of the membrane, by an enzyme known as the ._______ A main function of the cell membrane is to be very selective as to what is able to cross through, a condition known as a barrier.
What TWO factors keep integral trans-membrane proteins embedded firmly within the lipid bilayer?
Biological membranes are critical components of cells that allow compartmentalisation of cellular contents. The diagram shows a biological membrane comprised of a lipid bilayer with a single polypeptide integrated into the membrane and spanning the membrane seven times. What is the name of the specific type of lipid comprising the bilayer shown above? What properties about the heads and tails of these lipid structures force them to be arranged as they are in the lipid bilayer?
What properties define the phospholipids that make up the lipid bilayer?
What are the matrix processes in human cells?
Although both faces of a biomembrane are composed of the same general types of macromolecules, principally lipids and proteins, the two faces of the bilayer are not identical. What accounts for the asymmetry between the two faces?
In what way do proteins embedded in a membrane differ structurally from soluble proteins?
