All cells have protein, though animal cells typically have more as a percentage of their mass.
Why does the brain absorb such a large percentage of the alcohol consumed?
The brain absorbs a large percentage of alcohol because alcohol molecules are small and can easily pass through the blood-brain barrier, which controls what substances enter the brain. This high absorption rate is also due to the brain's high blood flow and rich network of blood vessels. Additionally, alcohol interacts with receptors in the brain that can alter brain function.
What percentage of a human brain consists water?
It is currently believed that the brain is made up of 77-78% water.
What protein does the TTR gene encode?
The TTR gene produces the protein transthyretine. Transthyretine transports vitamin A and a hormone called throzine throughout the body. The protein is produced in an area of the brain called the choroid plexus.
What percentage of your brain do you use in a lifetime?
It is a common myth that humans only use 10% of their brains, but in reality, we use all parts of our brain throughout our lifetime. Different tasks and activities engage different parts of the brain, so there is no fixed percentage that represents how much of our brains we use.
