2 Golgi Apparatus

Question 1

Found

Answer 1

ALL? Plant and animal

Question 2

Function

Answer 2

• Known as a shipping, receiving, and synthesizing center.
• Acts to modify proteins, as well as synthesize and store them.
  More in depth:
  Transports proteins from the ER, more specifically the Rough ER. Fuses w/ the membrane of the Golgi Apparatus and releases its contents into its lumen and starts the synthesizing process.
• The Cis side contains enzymes that help break down proteins from the ER to be modified. Proteins are modified as they move from the Cis surface to the Trans surface. During their transportation through the Golgi they go through a customization period so that they cell can use them. It shapes them into usable shapes and can add macromolecules to the proteins such as lipids and carbohydrates.

Question 3

Structure

Answer 3

• Made entirely of a phospholipid membrane.
• • Made of flat, sac membranes called Cisternae, the side nearest to the ER is called the Cis Golgi, while the side furthest from the ER is called Trans Golgi, where vesicles bud off to go to their destination.

Question 4

Glycoproteins

Answer 4

mucous in the digestive tract. They are located in cell walls, blood plasma, and connective tissues. They could differ in shape depending on where they’re located. Play key roles in reproduction and exist in spermatozoa. This could increase the sperm’s chances of fertilization by altering the permeability of plasma membranes. Can develop functional tissues in the human body

Question 5

Glycolipids

Answer 5

Glycolipids are lipids that have attached carbohydrates. It’s function is to give energy and act as a marker for cellular recognition. Only appear on the cell membrane surfaces of eukaryotic cells. Its structure depends on the lipids and glycosylhydrolases, which can determine the glycan in the cell. Serve as recognition points for chemicals and maintaining integrity of cell membrane so that tissues can form. They can also determine an organism’s blood type. The glycolipids serve as receptors on the red blood cells surface. This is vital for the organism during a situation such as a emergency transfusion. If someone receives the wrong kind of blood then the immune system will see it as a foreign substance and attack it, which can lead to death.
