1) b) i) synthesis and transport of proteins Flashcards
Describe Eukaryotes Internal Membranes
Eukaryotic cells have a system of internal
membranes, which increases the total area of membrane.
because of their size, ________ have a __________ _______ _________ to _________ _____. The __________ __________ of ___________ _______ is therefore too ____ an area to carry out all the ______ ______ carried out by ____________.
Because of their size, eukaryotes have a
relatively small surface area to volume ratio.
The plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells is therefore too small an area to carry out all the vital functions carried out by membranes.
What does the endoplasmic reticulum form?
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms a
network of membrane tubules continuous with the nuclear membrane
Define the Golgi Apparatus
The Golgi apparatus is a series of flattened membrane discs
Define Lysosomes
Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing a variety of hydrolases that digest
proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and
carbohydrates
What do Vesicles do?
Vesicles transport materials between
membrane compartments
