Question
Chapter 20.5, Problem 17CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
Functions of abundant endoplasmic reticulum in plasma cells. Other organelle(s)especially abundant in plasma cells and its reason.
Introduction:
Plasma cells are the cells produced by the B-lymphocytes. It is a differentiated B-lymphocyte, which matures when an antigen or a foreign particle is encountered. In a cell, certain organelles are in abundance depending on the type of function of the cell.

10. What appears to be the effect of inserting a protein channel into the membrane on the
movement of molecules across the membrane?
11. Is the inner surface (facing the channel) of the embedded protein likely to be polar or nonpolar
in the examples shown in Model 4? Is the exterior surface (facing the fatty acid chains of the
phospholipids) of the embedded protein likely to be polar or nonpolar? Explain your reasoning.
When a membrane protein assists in the passive transport of molecules across a barrier in the
direction down their concentration gradient (from high concentration to low concentration) it is
called facilitated diffusion. Transport proteins may also be involved in active transport where the
cell uses energy from…

Water that follows the ions creates a thin film that allows mucus to slide easily through these structures. People with cystic fibrosis (CF) have too few copies of the CFTR protein in the plasma membranes of their cells. Not enough chloride ions leave the cells, and so not enough water leaves them either. The result is thick, dry mucus that clogs the airways to the lungs and other passages. Symptoms include difficulty breathing and chronic lung infections. In 2000, researchers tracked the cellular location of the CFTR protein as it was being produced in cells from people with CF (Figure 3.13). Figure 3.13 Cellular location of the CFTR protein. Graph compares the amounts of CFTR protein found in endoplasmic reticulum, vesicles travel in g from ER to Golgi, and Golgi bodies in CF cells and normal cells.
