Question Answer
Lysozyme Enzymes in secretion such as nasal mucus and tears. Kills Bactria by digesting their cell walls
Integrin Membrane protein used to make connections between structures inside and outside the cells
Collagen Structural protein in tendons, ligaments, skin, and blood vessel walls; it provides high tensile strength, wit limited stretching.
Hemoglobin Transport protein in RBCs; it bind to oxygen and releases it in tissues with reduced oxygen concentration.
Catalysis Chemical reactions in and outside the cell _____________________________________________ Lactace
Muscle Contraction Locomotion and transport to contract muscles, thus moving animals _____________________________________________ actin and mysosin
Tensile strengthening tensile strength to skin, tendons, ligaments and blood vessels _____________________________________________ Collogen
Cytoskelington Provides structure for a cell _____________________________________________ tubulin
Blood Clotting cause blood to go from a liquid to a gel to heal wounds _____________________________________________ Plasma protines
Transport of nutrients and gasses Helps transport stuff _____________________________________________ Hemoglobin
Call adhesion causes adjacent cells to stick with each-other in tissues _____________________________________________ Integrin
Membrane transport Used for active transport _____________________________________________ (DAT) Dopamine transporter
Hormones Any of various internally secreted compounds, as insulin or thyroxine, formed in endocrine glands, that affect the functions of specifically receptive organs or tissues when transported to them by the body fluids. ___________________________________________ FSH, nsulin or thyroxine
