A

The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membrane enclosed tubules that extend throughout the cytoplasm and connect to the nuclear envelope consisting of rough ER and smooth ER

55
Q

Golgi complex

A

Consists of 3 to 20 cisterns has an entry face and an exit face socks between the entry and exit faces are called medial systems from the entry face the cisterns are thought to mature intern becoming medial and then exit cisterns

56
Q

What are the steps for proteins arriving at the Golgi complex through maturation of the cisternae and exchanges that occur via transfer vesicles?

A
  1. Proteins synthesized by ribosomes on the rough ER are surrounded by a piece of the ER membrane, which eventually buds from the membrane surface to form transport vesicles
  2. Transport vesicles move toward the entry face of the Golgi complex
  3. Fusion of several transport vesicles creates the entry phase of the Golgi complex and releases proteins into its lumen
  4. The proteins move from the entry face into one or more medial cisterns enzymes in the medial cisterns modify the proteins to form glycol proteins, glycolipids, and Lipo proteins. Transfer vesicles that bud from the edges of the cisterns move specific enzymes back toward the entry face and move some partially modified proteins toward the exit face
  5. The product of the medial sister and move into the lumen of the exit face
  6. Within the exit face cistern, the products are further modified and are sorted and packaged
  7. Some of the process proteins leave the exit faith and are stored in secretory vesicles. These vesicles deliver the protein to the plasma membrane, where they are discharged by exocytosis into the extracellular fluid. For example, certain pancreatic cells release the hormone insulin in this way
  8. Other process proteins leave the exit phase in membrane vesicles that deliver their contents to the plasma membrane for incorporation into the membrane. In doing so, the Golgi complex adds new segments of plasma membrane as existing segments are lost in modified the number and distribution of membrane molecules

77
Q

A

Step one: messenger R&A directs the synthesis of a protein

step two: ribosomal RNA joins with ribosomal proteins to make ribosomes

step three: transfer RNA binds to amino acid and hold it in place on a ribosome until it is incorporated into a protein during translation

78
Q

What happens in step three of transcription during the transfer RNA stage?

A

One end of the transfer RNA carries a specific amino acid, and the opposite end consist of a triplet of neucleotides called an anticodon. by pairing between complementary bases, the tRNA anticodon attaches to the mRNA codon

79

A

83
Q

What are the steps in translation?

A

1.mRNA molecule binds to the small ribosome subunit at the mRNA binding site. a specialty tRNA called initiator tRNA binds to the start codon on mRNA were translation begins the tRNA anticodon attaches to the mRNA codon by pairing between the complementary bases besides being the start codon AUG is also the codon for the amino acid Methionine. Thus, Methionine is always the first amino acid in a growing polypeptide
2. The large ribosomal subunit attaches to the small ribosomal subunit mRNA complex, creating a functional ribosome. The initiator tRNA with it amino acid(methionine) fit into the P site of the ribosome
3. The anticodon of another tRNA with it attached amino acid pairs with the second mRNA codon at the ace site of the ribosome
4. A component of the large ribosomal Subunit catalyzes the formation of a peptide bond between Methionine and the amino acid carried by the tRNA at the A site
5. Following the formation of the peptide bond the resulting two peptide proteins becomes attached to the tRNA at the A site
6. After peptide formation, the ribosome shifts the mRNA strand by one codon. The tRNA in the P site enters the E site and is subsequently released from the ribosome. The tRNA in the A site bearing the two peptide protein shifts into the P site, allowing another tRNA with its aminoacid to bind to the newly exposed codon at the A site. steps three through six occur repeatedly and the protein lengthens progressively.
7. Protein synthesis ends when the ribosome reaches a stop codon at the A site which causes the completed protein to detach from the final tRNA in addition tRNA vacates the P site and the ribosome split into its large and small subunits
