The different cell membrane pro-
teins (shown in blue in the dia-
gram) have a number of very
important functions: Some form
"channels" through which vari-
ous substances enter and depart
from the cell.
Enzymes help speed up chemical
reactions.
Some proteins, when attached to
Enzyme special chemicals, serve as Receptor section
receptors, setting functions such
as hormone synthesis into opera-
tion. This attachment launches
the beginning of a certain func-
tion such as the synthesis of hor-
mon in the cell.
The identifiers of the cell are the
proteins receiving information
regarding whether other cells in
the body are foreign invaders.
Some proteins assume structural
functions; others serve as attach-
The cell's ment points for cells to adhere to
identity-checker one another. Other proteins are Cell attachment
important in anchoring the cell
skeleton.
Every protein and cell in your
body, has been created for a par-
ticular purpose, equipped with
particular attributes, and special-
ly located in the place where its
function needs to be performed.
In short, man was created—and
every detail in your body is proof
of that Creation.
