Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of membrane proteins in cellular communication and tissue formation. During embryonic development, cells need to recognize and interact with each other to form tissues.

Identify the specific function of membrane proteins that facilitates cell recognition. Membrane proteins with short sugar chains, known as glycoproteins, serve as identification tags.

Explore how these glycoproteins work. The sugar chains on these proteins are recognized by other cells, allowing for cell-cell adhesion and communication, which is crucial for tissue formation.

Consider the importance of cell recognition in embryonic development. Proper identification and interaction between cells ensure that tissues form correctly and function as intended.

Reflect on why other functions of membrane proteins, such as enzymatic activity or forming channels, are not directly related to tissue formation during embryonic development. These functions serve different roles in cellular processes.
