• made up cisternae and vesicles

A

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

22
Q

• made up of tubules
• Functions in lipid metabolism and detoxification of drugs

A

23
Q

What are the 3 organelles make up the endomembrane system?

A

Nucleus
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Golgi Apparatus

24
Q

Process of protein synthesis in RER

A
  1. As the protein is synthesized on the ribosome, it migrates into the rough ER cistern.
  2. In the cistern, the protein folds into its functional shape. Short sugar chains may be attached to the protein (forming a glycoprotein).
  3. The protein is packaged in a tiny membranous sac called a transport vesicle.
  4. The transport vesicle buds from the rough ER and travels to the Golgi apparatus for further processing.
25
• _______ modifies, sort, and packages proteins • Produces different types of packages: - (thrown away) - (this is where the proteins will be integrated) - (suicide path of the cell)
• Golgi Apparatus Secretory vesicles Cell membrane components Lysosomes
26
3 pathways of protein in golgi apparatus
Secretory vesicle Cell membrane components Lysosome
27
• ______ contain enzymes (what type of enzyme) produced by ribosomes • Packaged by the Golgi apparatus • Digest worn-out or non-usable materials within the cell
Lysosome Degregating enzyme
28
• ________ - membranous sacs of oxidase enzymes • Detoxify harmful substances such as ________ and _______ • Break down free radicals (highly reactive chemicals) • Replicate by pinching in half
• Peroxisomes • alcohol and formaldehyde
29
• Network of protein structures that extend throughout the cytoplasm • Provides the cell with an internal framework —Three different types of elements - - -
Cytoskeleton Microfilaments (thinnest) Intermediate filaments Microtubules (thickest)
30
• Rod-shaped bodies made of microtubules • Direct the formation of the mitotic spindle during cell division
Centriole
31
the movement of substances into and out of the cell
Membrane transport
32
• No energy is required • Must have a concentration gradient • Movement is from high concentration to low concentration
Passive processes
33
• Cell must provide metabolic energy (ATP) • Go against the concentration gradient • From low concentration to high concentration
Active process
34
• Particles tend to distribute themselves evenly within a solution • Movement is from high concentration to low concentration, or down a concentration gradient
Diffusion
35
Types of diffusion
Simple diffusion Osmosis
36
• An unassisted process • Solutes are lipid-soluble materials or small enough to pass through membrane pores
Simple diffusion
37
• _______ - simple diffusion of water • Highly polar water molecules easily cross the plasma membrane through ________
Osmosis aquaporins
38
• In ________, substances require a protein carrier for passive transport • Transports ________ and _________
Facilitated diffusion lipid-insoluble and large substances
39
• In _______, water and solutes are forced through a membrane by fluid, or _________ • A pressure gradient must exist • Solute-containing fluid is pushed from a high-pressure area to a lower pressure area
Filtration hydrostatic pressure
40
- Substances are transported that are unable to pass by diffusion • Substances may be too large • Substances may not be able to dissolve in the fat core of the membrane • Substances may have to move against a concentration gradient - ATP is used for transport
Active transport
41
Two common forms of active transport
Vesicular transport Active transport
42
Vesicular transport • Exocytosis • Endocytosis • Phagocytosis • Pinocytosis Active transport (solute pumping) • Amino acids, some sugars, and ions are transported by protein carriers called _______ • ATP energizes protein carriers
solute pumps
43
Na+ and K+ ions process
1. Na+ binds to the protein pump 2. Na+ is released while K+ binds to the protein pump 3. K+ is released and the cycle repeats
44
________ • Moves materials out of the cell • Material is carried in a membranous vesicle • Vesicle migrates to plasma membrane • Vesicle combines with plasma membrane • Material is emptied to the outside
Exocytosis
45
• ________ • Extracellular substances are engulfed by being enclosed in a membranous vesicle • Types of endocytosis • _______—“cell eating” • _______—“cell drinking”
Endocytosis Phagocytosis Pinocytosis
