What type of molecules attach to the protein?arrow_forwardCell-cell recognition occurs because _____ is secreted from the cell and is attached to the external phospholipidsarrow_forwardAAA is a protein found in both the cytosol as well as the nucleus. In its active state, it helps to facilitate the movement of proteins into and out of the nucleus. Specifically, AAA-alpha and AAA-beta binds to receptors on the nucleus and allows for materials to enter or exit through the channels associated with the receptors. They also play a role in dropping off cargo that import and export receptors hold onto. AAA functions are controlled by two other proteins: BBB and CCC. BBB binds onto AAA, while CCC removes BBB from AAA when they are bound. As a result, there is a BBB and CCC concentration gradient that forms between the cytosol and nucleus. During prophase I, is there a concentration gradient for BBB and CCC between the cytosol and the nucleus? Why? Is this also the case during the other phases of meiosis or the cell cycle?arrow_forward
