16
Q

Vesicle transport

A

ER to Golgi to Membrane

17
Q

Step 1 of vesicle transport

A

A polypeptide is destined to be secreted

Signal recognition polypeptides signal ribosome to rough ER

18
Q

Step 2 of vesicle transport

A

Ribosome synthesizes polypetide in the lumen of rough ER

19
Q

Step 3 of vesicle transport

A

Polypetide is transferred to golgi via vesicles budding from rough ER

20
Q

Step 4 of vesicle transport

A

Polypeptide travles from cis to trans face of golgi via vesicles

May be modified

21
Q

Step 5 of membrane transport. FINAL

A

Polypetide is finally transferee to plasma membrane via vesicle where it’s secreted

22
Q

Endocytosis is also

A

PHAGOCYTOSIS

23
Q

Endocytocis does what

A

Engulfs material into an envelope. does not directly pass membrane

24
Q

Exocytosis does what

A

Releases large substances via vesicles

Does not travel across the plasma membrane

25
Q

Structural properties of membrane

A

Phosphobilips are held together by weak hydrophobic interactions

Hydrophobic/Hydrophillic layers restrict entry

Phospholipids can move horizontally

Fluidity allowe for the breakinh of membrane

26
Q

Active transport SYMPORT

A

both molecules move the same direction

27
Q

Active transport ANTIPORT

A

Molecules move in opposite directions
