The low status of smell in Western culture is reflected in our language: colloquial terms for ânoseâ, for example, are almost all derogatory, or at the very least disrespectful (schnozzle, conk, hooter, snoot, snout, etc.) â and large or distinctive noses are considered ugly.
Ribosomes are organelles composed of ribosomal proteins (riboproteins) and ribonucleic acids (ribonucleoproteins). The word ribosome is made from taking â ribo â from ribonucleic acid and adding it to â soma â, the latin word for body. Ribosomes are bound by a membrane but they are not membranous.
Model 2: the submembranous actin meshwork is isotropic everywhere, but in regions where there are microtubules the interactions between actin and microtubules locally detach the actin meshwork from the plasmalemma, generating linear patches of bare membrane where CD36 does not interact with the cytoskeleton (the red receptors do not reach the cytoskeleton in the âsideâ view) and thus its diffusion is unimpeded.
