Golgi apparatus

36
Q

the pH inside lysosomes?

A

acid pH 5/ 5,5

37
Q

why don’t the enzymes inside the lysosome hydrolise its membrane?

A

due to glycolised proteins:
LIMP
LAMP
LGP

38
Q

Autophagy meaning?

A

lysosomes recycle the organic material of damaged organelles

39
Q

TAY-SACH disease is the result of?

A

missing or inactive lipid-digesting enzyme
therefore the brain becomes weakened due to lipid accumulation in the cells

40
Q

how does the large central vacuole in cell plants develop?

A

it develops from smaller vacuoles

41
Q

what is CELL SAP?

A

the solution inside the central vacuole

42
Q

which membrane of the mitochondrion is smooth and thick and more permeable?

A

the outer membrane

43
Q

what is the function of the cell sap?

A

main storage of inorganic ions
K+
Cl-

44
Q

cristae

A

infoldings of the inner complicated membrane of the mitochondrion

45
Q

from which parent is the mitochondrion circular DNA inherited?

A

only from the mother

46
Q

which phospholipids are found in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion

A

Kardiolipine
Termogenine

47
Q

what is required for the formation of chlorophyll?

A

light
magnesium salt
iron ions

48
Q

amyloplast

A

colorless organelle that stores starch

49
Q

what do the enzymes of peroxisomes do?

A

remove hydrogen from molecules
bind H to oxygen
forms H2O2
converts H2O2 to H2O

50
Q

where are GLYOXYSOMES found and what do they do?

A

found in the lipid-storing tissue of plant seeds
-converts fatty acids to sugar

51
Q

the components of the cytoskeleton are:

A
  1. microtubules- tubulin
  2. microfilaments actin
  3. intermediate filaments keratine + other proteins
52
Q

which is the thickest component of the cytoskeleton

A

microtubules

53
Q

the main function of microtubules is:

A

chromosome movement during cell division

54
Q

the thinnest component of the cytoskeleton

A

microfilaments

55
Q

dimer structure?

A

1 dimer= 1 alpha tubuline + 1 beta tubuline

56
Q

the function of intermediate filaments?

A

formation of the nuclear lamina
(the structure between chromatin and inner nuclei membrane)

57
Q

centrioles structure

A

9x3 microtubules
only in animal cells

58
Q

cilia structure

A

9x2 microtubules
movement back-and-forth/ flip flop

59

9x0
is found in the flagellum of the sperm, enters the egg, and becomes a centriole

A

the extracellular matrix

63
Q

the main components of ECM are:

A

glycoproteins (the most abundant is collagen)
other carbohydrates

64
Q

The function of ECM is :

A

it communicates with the cells through INTEGRINS (proteins) so as to regulate cell behavior

65
Q

Amphipathic molecules

A

a molecule with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions

66
Q

Amphipathic molecules examples:

A

membrane lipids
membrane proteins

67
Q

How is the membrane held together?

A

the membrane is mainly held together by Hydrophobic interactions which are weaker than covalent bonds

68
Q

how do phospholipids move?

A

they move sideways in a rapid way
rarely a lipid may move from one layer to the other

69
Q

How do plants resist the winter since they have no cholesterol?

A

they increase the percentage of unsaturated phospholipids

70
Q

what do channel proteins (integrals) transport?

A
  1. huge portions of water (aquaporins)
  2. ions soluble in water
71
Q

what do carrier proteins transport?

A

they transport glucose
they are specific (for example: the ones that transport glucose do not transport fructose even though they are similar isomers)

72
Q

is there net movement in isotonic solutions?

A

no there is no net movement
water enters and leaves the cell at the same rate

73
Q

CD4 and CCR5

A

proteins in immune cells that help HIV infect them leading to AIDS. firstly HIV must bind to CD4.
To infect the cell it must connect to CCR5 too. If CCR5 is missing the virus can’t enter the cell.

-CD4 and CCR5 are protein receptors

74
Q

electrogenic pump

A

a transport protein that generates voltage across the membrane
example: sodium-potassium pump

75
Q

what is the difference between endocytosis and exocytosis?

A

the protein involved

76
Q

what form of transport does cholesterol use to enter cells?

A

through Receptor-mediated endocytosis (a specific type of pinocytosis)

77
Q

is pinocytosis specific?

A

no
