Q

What is the Endomembrane system?

A

-A collection of membranes inside of a EUKARYOTIC cell (not prokaryotic.!!)
-all membranes are related via physical contact or through transfer of membrane vesicles

Q

What are the properties and functions of the rough ER?

A
  1. Creates secretory proteins and sends them to the golgi
  2. Studded with ribosomes (that is why jt is rough)
  3. It is directly attached to the nuclear envelope

Q

What are the properties and functions of the smooth ER?

A
  1. Performs many metabolic processes like lipid synthesis (steroids) and metabolism of carbs
  2. Detoxifies poisons by adding hydroxyl groups to poison and making it water soluble
  3. Stores calcium ions

Q

What are ribosomes responsible for? How do they perform their functions?

A

-Protein synthesis
-They make polypeptide chains by translating the mRNA strand. There are large and small subunits of each ribosome

16
Q

What is a bound ribosome?

A

A ribosome that is attached to the rough ER and that creates secretory proteins (do their work outside of the cell)

17
Q

What is a free ribosome?

A

A ribosome that is found somewhere in the cytoplasm

They produce proteins that function wherever they are being formed inside the cell

18
Q

What is a vesicle?

Where does it come from?
What does it do?

A
  • a membrane bound sac
    -comes from the rough ER and the Golgi
    -transports vesicles that move proteins to the cell membrane for discretion. The vesicle becomes part of the cell membrane
19
Q

What are the 3 types of vacuoles (NOT vesicles)? List each one’s function

A

-Food vacuoles: work via phagocytosis. Eats things in the cell. Digests the rubbish (lysosome)

-contractile vacuole: pumps out excess in protists

-central vacuole: in nature plants, used for water storage, growth, and structure

20
Q

What is the function if the Golgi apparatus? What is it made of?

A

-it is the warehouse that accepts proteins from the rough ER, modifies them, and then sends them off to the cell membrane (think Amazon)
-it is made of sacs called cisternae

21
Q

What is the pathway of the protein through Golgi apparatus?

A

Nuclear envelope ➡️ rough ER ➡️ Golgi apparatus ➡️ cell membrane

22
Q

What is the plasma membrane?

A

A phospholipid bi-layer.

23
Q

Is the head of the phospholipid bi-layer polar and hydrophilic, or hydrophobic and non polar? What about the tails?

A

The head is polar and hydrophilic

The tails are non polar and hydrophobic

24
Q

Properties of the mitochondria

A
  1. Plants and animals have them
  2. Sure if cellular respiration (sugar metabolized)
  3. Also have their own circular DNA and ribosomes
  4. Oxygen consumption
25
Q

Properties of the chloroplast

A
  1. Plants only
  2. Site of photosynthesis (sugar produced)
  3. Contain chlorophyll in the thylakoid membranes which are nestled in the string
  4. Contain their own circular DNA and ribosomes
  5. Oxygen released
26
Q

Cell junctions:

A
  1. Plasmodesma
  2. Tight junctions
  3. Desmosomes
  4. Gap junctions
27
Q

Plasmodesma

A

Chanel through the cell walls of PLANTS that connect plant and cells and allows them to transfer materials like cytosol and water

28
Q

Tight Junctions

A

-Plasma membranes if neighboring cells are TIGHTLY pressed against each other
-Forms a tight seal and prevents cellular leakage

29
Q

Desmosomes

A

-An anchor junction.
-connect to each other with proteins
-Actually connected; not just tightly packed

30
Q

Gap junctions

A
  1. Similar to Plasmodesma in plants m, but not for non plant cells
  2. Channels are made between cells and molecules are transferred
31
Q

How do the cell junctions function?

A

Via glycoproteins
