Different types of peanuts. Not every peanut is the same! There are thousands of different types of peanuts, these are known as different cultivars. We can distinguish four popular different types of peanuts: the Runner peanut, the Virginia peanut, the Valencia peanut and the Spanish peanut. All these peanuts differ in size, color, flavor and oil content and are often used for very different purposes.
For a signal molecule to bind with an intracellular receptor it must be able to pass through the cellular membrane. Generally signal molecules that enter the cell are nonpolar and fat soluble. These signal molecules can pass through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane.
The transmembrane proteins that cross the bilayer are very important in the active transport of ions and small molecules. Different Membranes of the Cell As you learn more about cell organelles, you will find that they all have a membrane. Organelle membranes do not have the same chemical makeup as the cell membrane. They have different lipids and proteins that make them unique. The membrane that surrounds a lysosome is different from the membrane around the endoplasmic reticulum. Some organelles have two membranes.
