Cell-cell recognition and communication would likely be impaired in an animal cell lacking oligosaccharides on the external surface of its plasma membrane. Oligosaccharides help cells recognize self from non-self, facilitate cell adhesion, and play a role in immune responses.
Recognition proteins are involved in identifying and binding to specific molecules or cells. They play a key role in immune responses, cell signaling, and cell-cell interactions. In the immune system, recognition proteins help differentiate between self and non-self molecules.
Proteins play a key role in aiding diffusion across cell membranes by acting as channels or carriers. Cell recognition is facilitated by cell surface markers such as glycoproteins and glycolipids, which help cells identify and communicate with each other.
Cell-Cell Recognition
Glycoproteins have a carbohydrate, glycogen, attached to them. They face the outside of a cell, and are vital for certain functions, such as cell to cell recognition.
