25
Function of integral protein
Acts as carrier protein Serves as receptors for water soluble chemicals
26
Function almost entirely as enzymes or as controllers of transport of substances through the cell membrane "pores"
Peripheral protein
27
Mainly carbohydrates substances bound to small protein cores loosely attached to the outer surface of the cell.
Proteoglycans
28
Several important function of carbohydrates moieties
29
Network of tubular flat vesicular structure
ER
30
Function for the synthesis of lipid substances and for the processes of cells promoted by intrareticular enzymes
Agranular reticulum
31
Small transport vesicle
Golgi apparatus
32
Contains large quantities of dissolved enzymes that are necessary for extracting energy from nutrient
Matrix
33
Small pits on the outer surface of cell membrane
Coated pits
34
occurs continually in the cell membranes of most cells, but it is especially rapid in some cells.
Pinocytosis
35
means ingestion of minute particles that form vesicles of extracellular fluid and particulate constituents inside the cell cytoplasm.
Pinocytosis
36
means ingestion of large particles, such as bacteria, whole cells, or portions of degenerating tissue.
Phagocytosis
37
latticework of fibrillar protein called ,
clathrin
38
is formed inside the cell cytoplasm in which the vesicular hydrolases begin hydrolyzing the proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and other substances in the vesicle
digestive vesicle
39
cell is completely removed and a new cell of the same type ordinarily is formed by mitotic reproduction of an adjacent cell to take the place of the old one.
Autolysis
40
, which dissolves the bacterial cell membrane;
lysozyme
41
, which binds iron and other substances before they can promote bacterial growth;
lysoferrin
42
continually break away from the smooth reticulum; most of these vesicles then migrate rapidly to the Golgi apparatus
ER vesicles or transport vesicles
43
functions of the endoplasmic reticulum, especially the smooth reticulum
1. It provides the enzymes that control glycogen breakdown when glycogen is to be used for energy. 2. It provides a vast number of enzymes that are capable of detoxifying substances,
44
hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate is form by what?
Golgi apparatus
45
containing protein substances that are to be secreted through the surface of the cell membrane.
secretory vesicles
46
is stimulated by the entry of calcium ions into the cell;
Exocytosis
47
ATP is a nucleotide composed of
(1) the nitrogenous base adenine , (2) the pentose sugar ribose, and (3) three phosphate radicals
