Case Study: Newsflash! Transport Proteins on Strike! 1. What is the meaning behind the PHOSPHOLIPIDS’ chant? Phospholipids make up most of the cell membrane‚ in a phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipid molecules form two layers‚ with the hydrophilic (water loving) head facing the extracellular fluid and the cytosol (intracellular) fluid‚ and the hydrophobic (not water loving) tails facing one another. The cell membrane is constructed in such a way that it is semipermeable‚ and allows oxygen

As time progresses‚ the human population in Singapore rises rapidly‚ there will be a greater demand for public transport. This would inevitably lead to trains and buses being over crowded if no changes are made with regards to the effectiveness of this complex system. Due to an ineffective and inferior system‚ the frequency of arrivals of trains and buses would be long and unpredictable. Further more there will also be an increased number of technical glitches and breakdowns. In December 2011‚ two

Pex7p Transport Role As previously stated‚ the location of the mutation causing the lethal RCDP1 phenotype has been narrowed down to the 10-exon PEX7 gene. wt PEX7 is translated as a cytosolic import receptor Pex7p‚ responsible for binding enzymes destined for the peroxisomal matrix marked by the N-terminal peroxisome-targeting signal 2 (PTS2). In a normal cell‚ the Pex7p receptor has a PTS2 receptor region that recognizes and binds the PTS2 of the localized protein in the cytosol‚ necessary for

Transport & Service costing Service Costing Unit costing is the method of costing used when the cost units are identical. Identical cost units should have identical costs and this concept of equality of costs is the basic feature of unit costing. It may be noted that process costs‚ output costing and service costing are the sub-divisions of unit costing method. Service Costing – Nature and Problem: Service or operating cost is the cost of providing services. Service costing
