Organells found in a eukaryotic cell
flagellum; microvilli; cytoplasm; ribosome; RER; SER; plasma membrane; lysosome; mitochondria; golgi complec
1 of 25
What is part of the cytoplasm
cytoskeleton & cytosol
2 of 25
What are the 3 Types of protein filaments that form a network in cytoskeleton
Microfilaments, Intermediate Filaments & Microtubles
3 of 25
What are the function of the cytoskeleton
dynamic support- shaping cell & resisting force; framework- position of organelles; tracks for movement; force generation- move cell by pseudopodia & in cilia/flagella or separate chromosome in cell division & cytokinesis
4 of 25
What organelles is part of the endo-membrane system
Endoplasmic reticulum; Golgi complex; Lysosomes
5 of 25
Function of Nuclear Envelope
Controls movement of substances into and out of the nucleus; Much traffic of proteins and RNA molecules through the pores
6 of 25
Function of the endomembrane system
Dynamic, integrated network of membrane bound structures; Exchange materials with each other through Vesicles (membrane bound transport compartments)
7 of 25
How does the Secretory pathway work
Vesicle transport carries macromolecules between organelles; Molecules are selected for incorporation into a vesicle; Signals on the outside of the vesicle ensure the vesicle is transported to the correct compartment
8 of 25
Why do the ribosome on the RER produce proteins
the endomembrane organelles; integral membrane proteins (of the plasma membrane); secretory products
9 of 25
Soluble protein for ER lumen
transferred into ER as synthesised and then cleaved from ER signal sequence
10 of 25
What metabolic process happen in the SER
Lipid synthesis; carbohydrate metabolism; detoxification
11 of 25
What does the SER need to detoxify
Oxidation by Cytochrome P450 enzymes; Conjugation to soluble molecules
12 of 25
How does the SER detoxify
Render drugs more soluble in water; Removed from ER and cell by ABC transporters; Then removed from body via bile &/or urine
13 of 25
What does Cytochrome P450 enzymes do
Active against drugs – phenolbarbitol, caffeine, nicotine, acetominophen (paracetamol) ;And hormones – cortisol, estradiol
14 of 25
Functions of Glucuronidation
Used biotransformation (drugs, pollutants, lipophillic metabolites); Used to increase solubility of some hormones for transport in blood
15 of 25
Golgi body function
carbohydrate metabolism/modification (hemicelluloses and pectin found in cell walls/ chondroitin sulphate, found in cartilage); sorts & finishes proteins; Modify carbohydrate into glycoproteins & glycolipids; Storage of proteins/carbohydrate
16 of 25
Which direction does trans fatty acid face in the endoplasmic membrane
away from the ER
17 of 25
Which direction does cis fatty acid face in the endoplasmic membrane
towards the ER
18 of 25
Which face does the vesicle enter into the golgi body
cis
19 of 25
what are the 2 models that substances can pass though into the golgi body using the trans face
Vesicular transport model; Cisternal maturation model
20 of 25
The events that occur in vesicle packaging to addressing
At the trans face of the Golgi complex; Proteins sorted on basis of destination; Packaged into vesicles for forward transport; Vesicles are coated in specific proteins that control the contents of the vesicle & its destination
21 of 25
types of cellular secretion
holocrine; apocrine; merocrine; eccrine
22 of 25
What can be found in a lysosome
40 – 50+ enzymes ; acid hydrolase
23 of 25
Lysosome internal pH
4.6, lower than that of the cell - protection against enzyme leakage!
24 of 25
Function of peroxisone
educing enzyme catalase and usually some oxidases; Many oxidative reactions, including breakdown of uric acid, amino acids and fatty acids; Plants produce Acetyl CoA from fatty acids, which is then used in to synthesise glucose.
