Cellular Organelles Flashcards
study for midterm 1
Plasma membrane
passive and active transport
Functions of integral proteins in plasma membrane
channels, enzymes, linkers, pumps, receptors, and structural
endocytosis
into the cell
exocytosis
out of the cell, SNARE proteins required for docking
Botulinum toxin
prevents formation of SNARE complexes
lysosomes
digestive organelles that break down various substances
Tay Sachs disease
lysosomes fail to degrade products, causes swelling in the retina
Proteasomes
degrade proteins w/o lysosomes
mRNA
DNA transcribed to RNA
tRNA
codes for AA’s
rRNA
make up the ribosomes
ribosomes
site for transcription
buy AT 30, CELL for 50
drugs that prevent bacteria ribosome function
against 30S
aminoglycosides & tetracyclines
against 50S
chloramphenicol, erythromycin, lincosamides (lincomycin)
Rough ER
make proteins, contain ribosomes
Golgi Apparatus
functions in post-translational modification & transport (amazon)
