To explain: Cellular synthesis and deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoprotein.
Concept introduction: Animal cells do not have cell wall but consists of plasma membrane. The cell synthesizes and secretes material outside of cell called extracellular matrix (ECM). The secretion of material outside the cell is carried out by a process called exocytosis. The ingredient of ECM includes glycoprotein and other carbohydrate containing molecules. Collagen is the most important and abundant glycoprotein in the ECM. Another protein called fibronectin is also present in the ECM. ECM plays a role in the cellular functions and protection. It provides signal to the animal cell that allows communication with the extracellular environment.

- Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/endomembrane1) to learn about the endomembrane system, which includes the rough and smooth ER and the Golgi body as well as lysosomes and vesicles. What is the primary role of the endomembrane system?arrow_forwardTest Your Understanding 1.Transmembrane proteins (a) are peripheral proteins (b) receptor proteins (c) extend completely through the membrane (d) extend along the surface of the membrane (e) are secreted from the cellarrow_forwardTest Your Understanding 7.In cotransport (indirect active transport) (a) a uniporter moves a solute across a membrane against its concentration gradient (b) the move of one solute down its concentration gradient provides energy for transport of some other solute up its concentration gradient (c) a channel protein moves ions by facilitated diffusion (d) osmosis powers the movement of ions against their concentration gradient (e) sodium is directly transported in one direction, and potassium is indirectly transported in the same directionarrow_forward

Ensures that vesicles arrive at their correct location Drives the fusion of vesicle and target membranes Initiates the assembly of COPII onto the ER membrane Initiates the assembly of COPI onto the ER membranearrow_forwardQ6: A protein that spans the phospholipid bilayer one or more times isO a glycoprotein.O a transmembrane protein.O an extracellular matrix protein.O a peripheral protein.arrow_forwardVISUAL SKILLS Carbohydrates are attached to plasmamembrane proteins in the ER (see Figure 7.9). On whichside of the vesicle membrane are the carbohydrates during transport to the cell surface?arrow_forward
- Cell Biology: Q. Discuss the structural formation (composition) of intermediate filamentsarrow_forwardTest Your Understanding 10.INTERPRET DATA GLUT 4 is a glucose transporter that functions in adipose (fat) cell plasma membranes. An analysis of adipose cells exposed to insulin showed that a single cell could import glucose at a maximum rate of about 1108 molecules/second. Under the same conditions, unstimulated cells could only transport a maximum of about 1107 molecules/second. What does this finding tell you about the relative number of GLUT 4 transporters functioning in the plasma membranes of stimulated versus unstimulated cells?arrow_forward1. Explain in detail how amino acids can be transported across the plasma membrane 2. By using the concept of endomembrane system, explain how plasma membrane involves in the protein synthesis of a cell. 3. With suitable examples, compare the structural and functional differences between a fibrous and globular protein. 4. A person suffers from a skin condition and loss of muscle. A doctor suspects the patient has protein deficiency. Justify why the doctor thinks so.arrow_forward
- 13. cytoplasm? what is its function?a. connects two plant cellsb. maintains the shape of the cellc, suspend the organellesd. produce proteins for the cell14. Which of the following describes the metabolism property of protoplasm?a. stores substances for the organellesb. processes genetic informationc. modifies proteins and lipidsd. utilizes degradative chemical reactions that break down complex molecules15. which of the following describes the metabolism property of protoplasm?a. glycosidesb. calcium oxalatec. alkaloidsd. cystolithsarrow_forwardWHAT IF? If the plant cell wall or the animal extracellular matrix were impermeable, what effect would thishave on cell function?arrow_forward3. The protein integrin binds to actin filaments and, by binding to proteins like fibronectins, connects to collagen. In this manner, integrin ______. A.controls the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane B. suspends organelles within the cytoplasm C. provides a direct linkage between the cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix D. helps keep individual cells in place and connects adjacent cells to each otherarrow_forward
