What happens to an erythrocyte placed in a hypertonic solution?
It would crenate, becoming distorted in shape
What is the function of membrane proteins?
Act as enzymes and receptor sites; function for chemical transport, intercellular communication, cell-to-cell recognition, and attachment to the cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix
What is the role of B-lymphocytes in the immune response?
Secrete antibodies for humoral immune response
What happens to secretory proteins in the process of vesicle formation and transport?
They are assembled by ribosomes on the rough ER and then pass through channels to the Golgi body before being encapsulated in vesicles
What happens to a cell in an isotonic environment?
The cell has equal concentration with the solution outside the cell
