Q

Cytoskeleton

A

Protein structure (extends throughout the cytoplasm)

Main function is structure and support for the cell

Provides intracellular transport

Q

Pathway of protein out of cell

A
  1. Nucleus = provides instructions from DNA
  2. Ribosome = made by ribosome
  3. Rough ER = transports vesicle to Golgi apparatus
  4. Golgi apparatus = sorting takes place. Then sent from a vesicle to cell membrane

Q

Lysosome

A

Membranous bags packaged by golgi apparatus from rough ER

Contains enzymes that digest foreign invaders (bacteria and viruses)

Break down waste material
