Question 1

Name the 6 categories of enzymes

Answer 1

hydrolase, isomerase, lyase, oxidoreductase, synthetase, transferase

Question 2

Peripheral Proteins

Answer 2

Cell Signaling: Some act as receptors or enzymes that help transmit signals inside the cell.

Structural Support: They help maintain the cell’s shape and connect to the cytoskeleton.

Attachment Sites: They help cells adhere to other cells or extracellular structures.

Transport Assistance: Some assist integral proteins in moving substances across the membrane

Question 3

Carbohydrates

Answer 3

Cell Recognition: They help cells recognize each other, important for immune response.

Communication: They play a role in signaling between cells.

Protection: They form a protective coat (glycocalyx) that shields the cell from damage.

Adhesion: Help cells stick together to form tissues

Question 4

Glycolipid vs. Glycoprotein

Answer 4

glycolipid:
- Cell recognition 🏷️ (helps the immune system recognize cells)
- Cell-to-cell communication 📢
- Maintaining stability of the membrane 🏗️

glycoprotein:
Cell signaling 📡 (acts as a receptor for hormones and other signals)
- Cell adhesion (helps cells stick together) 🤝
- Immune response (helps immune cells recognize invaders
