Cisternae

20
Q

Made up of cisternae and vesicles

A

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

21
Q

• synthesizes proteins
• Studded with ribosomes
• made up cisternae and vesicles

A

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

22
Q

• made up of tubules
• Functions in lipid metabolism and detoxification of drugs

A

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

23
Q

What are the 3 organelles make up the endomembrane system?

A

Nucleus
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Golgi Apparatus

24
Q

Process of protein synthesis in RER

A
  1. As the protein is synthesized on the ribosome, it migrates into the rough ER cistern.
  2. In the cistern, the protein folds into its functional shape. Short sugar chains may be attached to the protein (forming a glycoprotein).
  3. The protein is packaged in a tiny membranous sac called a transport vesicle.
  4. The transport vesicle buds from the rough ER and travels to the Golgi apparatus for further processing.
25
Q

• _______ modifies, sort, and packages proteins
• Produces different types of packages:
- (thrown away)
- (this is where the proteins will be integrated)
- (suicide path of the cell)

A

• Golgi Apparatus
Secretory vesicles
Cell membrane components
Lysosomes

26
Q

3 pathways of protein in golgi apparatus

A

Secretory vesicle
Cell membrane components
Lysosome

27
Q

• ______ contain enzymes (what type of enzyme) produced by ribosomes
• Packaged by the Golgi apparatus
• Digest worn-out or non-usable materials within the cell

A

Lysosome
Degregating enzyme

28
Q

• ________ - membranous sacs of oxidase enzymes
• Detoxify harmful substances such as ________ and _______
• Break down free radicals (highly reactive chemicals)
• Replicate by pinching in half

A

• Peroxisomes
• alcohol and formaldehyde

29
Q

• Network of protein structures that extend throughout the cytoplasm
• Provides the cell with an internal framework
—Three different types of elements

30
Q

• Rod-shaped bodies made of microtubules
• Direct the formation of the mitotic spindle during cell division

A
