Q

functions of the Rough ER and Smooth ER

A
  • rough-glycosylation - synthesis of proteins by adding a carbohydrate and sending the proteins out to other parts
  • smooth- synthesis of lipids

Q

Golgi Apparatus functions (3)

A
  • glycosylation
  • protein sorting when protein enters cis face
  • secretion - cargo coming into cis face of Golgi leaves as secretary vesicles and expelled out of the cell later

Q

Lysosomes proceed in three ways

A
  • autophagy - a defective organelle in cytosol becomes surrounded by membrane to form an autophagasome which fuses with lysosomes
  • endocytosis - vesicle with its cargo pinches off from cell membrane and enters cytosol then fuses with lysosome
  • phagocytosis - a large vesicle surrounds and engulfs bacterium and fuses to a lysosome

Q

central vacuole (2)
contractile vacuole
food vacuole

A

-storage reservoir in plant cells
provides turgor pressure so that plant cell doesn’t remain in a wilted state
-in protists, adjusts the cell size
-small food particles are engulfed for later use

Q

evidence of theory of endosymbiosis (8)

A
  • size of prokaryotic cells now
  • same shape for mitochondria and prokaryotic cell
  • a cell cannot assemble new mitochondria and chloroplasts
  • mito and chlor have thier own DNA content
  • also have thier own ribosomes
  • also have double membranes
  • lots of the proteins for functioning mitochondria are now encoded from the genome in nucleus
  • endomembrane system forming from pickets in the earlier cell membrane
