Question
Chapter 31, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The indicated mechanism needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
An integral membrane protein i.e. IMP is a kind of membrane protein which is permanently connected with the biological membrane. All the transmembrane protein are IMPs, but not every IMPs are the transmembrane proteins. IMPs includes a substantial protein’s fraction encoded in the genome of an organism.

Predicting how variation in membrane lipid composition will affect the fluidity and mobility of integral membrane proteins
Three mechanisms by which membrane-bind-ing proteins bend a membrane are illustrated in FigureQ10–2A, B, and C. As shown, each of these cytosolic mem-brane-bending proteins would induce an invagination ofthe plasma membrane. Could similar kinds of cytosolicproteins induce a protrusion of the plasma membrane(Figure Q10–2D)? Which ones? Explain how they mightwork.
IDENTIFICATION
The cisternal space of ER is continuous with prenuclear space between the two membranes of the nuclear envelope and can communicate with the internals spaces of the Golgi complex and lysosome by means of _____________ that shuttle between these structures.
_______________ side is oriented towards the RER (transition vesicles with newly synthesized protein arrive continuously from the ER)

It acts as a symport (or co-transporter) of Na+ and amino acids. On the outside of the cell, the Na+ concentration is higher than the inside. The amino acid concentration on the inside of the cell is higher than the outside. When both Na+ and an amino acid bind to the SNAT2 membrane channel on the outside of the cell, there is a conformational change allowing the energy from electrochemical gradient of Na+ for the transport of the amino acid into the cell. a. Draw this scenario and label your representations of Na+, amino acids, SNAT2, and the membrane. b.
