Q

How do proteins reach organelles like the golgi apparatus

A
  1. the protein enters the RER

2.Inside the RER, proteins are modified eg. bended and folded

3.Small parts of the RER pinch off to form a vesicle that transports the proteins(to organelles like Golgi)

Q

How does the golgi body excrete proteins from the cell

A

Receives proteins from the Rough ER and modifies them into their final form

The Golgi apparatus then packages the modified proteins into vesicles that pinch off and move towards the cell membrane

  1. the vesicles fuse with the cell membrane and release their contents into the extracellular fluid

Q

Some ribosomes are studded onto the rough ER whereas some are free floating. Why is that the case?

A

the proteins produced from the free floating ribosomes stay around the inside of the cell.

Whilst, the proteins RER proteins get sent to the golgi body to be packaged out of the cell

Q

why do both prokaryotes and eukaryotes contain ribosome

A

ribosomes are not membrane bound organelles and also because all cells need protein to survive

Q

Difference of DNA in eukaryotic organisms and prokaryotic organsims

A

DNA in eukaryotic organisms is linear and stored in the nucleus

DNA is prokaryotic organisms is stored in a circular plasmid and floats in the cytoplasm as there is no nucleus.

15
Q

How is ribosome involved in the production of protein

A

ribosomes add amino acids together to form a polypeptide chain

16
Q

why does the cell memebrane separate the interior of the cell from the outside environment?

A

because the cell’s environment varies from its outer environment (e.g. in terms of ph, ions, temperature, nutrients)

17
Q

phagocytosis

A

a process where a phagocyte engulfs destroys foreign substances and removes dead cells.

18
Q

apoptosis

A

the process of programmed cell death

19
Q

what may happen to the proteins when the golgi body reiceves proteins from the RER

A

golgi body may add sugar to the protein to make glycoprotein

golgi body may Add lipid to the protein and make it a lipoprotein

golgi body may Fold the protein into 3D shape

19
Q

when and how are glycoproteins and lipoproteins created

A

may happen when the golgi body rceieves proteins form the RER

glycoproteins are formed when sugar is added to the protein

lipoproteins are formed when a lipid is added to the protein

20
Q

How does water move into the plant cells of vacuoles

A

osmosis

21
Q

Chlamydomonas are classified into Kingdom Protista, Phylum Chlorophyta. Each cell has a cell wall made of a complex molecule called glycoprotein.

In what way is this cell wall not typical of a true plant cell?

A

Plant cell walls are made of cellulose, not glycoprotein.

22
Q

purpose of membrane bound organelles

A

orangelles need membranes to make sure all cells carry out functions properly and to act as a protceitve barrier

23
Q

why is it dangerous for lysosomes to not have a cell membrane

A

digestive enzymes would digest the whole cell
