Cell structure pt. 2 (exam 2) Flashcards
what’s the difference between translating mRNA on a ribosome on the rough ER vs a ribosome that’s loose in the cytoplasm
- if you’re being made on the membrane you’ll have something to do with the membrane
ex: - embedded in membrane
- secreted
- part of organelles that are surrounded by a membrane
ex: free enzyme or a protein used by the exoskeleton
function of ribosomes found on the surface of the rough ER
they carry out translation
function of kinesin in microtubules
- transport of vesicles
anterograde vs retrograde
anterograde
toward cell membrane (moving something out of the cell)
retrograde
toward cell body
_____ triggers retrograde
rabies
list the structure of a kinesin
tail = affinity for transport vesicles
stalk= 2 strands, twisted,tension buildup
head
briefly explain how kinesins work
- “walks along a microtubule track”
- walks the vesicle all the way to the end
vesicle transport is _____
highly enzyme dependent
microtubules: centrosomes and kinetochore
FUNCTION
- direction of chromosome movement
- highly ATP dependent
centrosome
- microtubule
- contains the centrioles from which the spindle fibers develop
kinetochore
- microtubule
- provides the major attachment point for the spindle microtubules during mitotic or meiotic division to pull the chromosomes apart
Colchicine at higher doses
- treat inflammatory response
- for cancer
- interferes w microtubule formation, therefore can’t form spindle fibers and stops mitosis
colchicine at lower doses
- can harm immune cells
- blocks the highway, affects transport
- used for immune diseases
which cells are the most susceptible for colchicine
the ones that are doing the most work
cilia, flagella, and dynein
- directs movement of cell or movement of material over cell surface
- microtubules
Dynein
- partly embedded in tubulin fiber
- microtubule based
- power a wide variety of motile processes within eukaryotic cells (includes cilia and flagella)
cilia
- 2 types: non motile and motile
- on the surface of many cells
- hair like, helps move things across the surface of a cell
