Endoplasmic reticulum, cotranslational import, vesicle transport

Question 1

Vesicular Transport

Answer 1

Transport of material between compartments, between:
- organelle to plasma membrane (vice versa)
- organelle to organelle

Question 2

Transport vesicle

Answer 2

Small, spherical, membrane-enclosed organelles that help move materials from one part of a cell to another.

They bud of a donor compartment and fuse with an acceptor compartment

Question 3

Targeted movement (directed)

Answer 3

Movement of vesicles - Uses cytoplasm and motor proteins

Question 4

Examples of vesicular transport

Answer 4

Exocytosis:

Endocytosis

Question 5

Exocytosis

Answer 5

Type of vesicular transport
Organelle to plasma membrane

Question 6

Endocytosis

Answer 6

Type of vesicular transport
Plasma membrane to organelle

Question 7

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

Answer 7

A large dynamic structure that serves many roles in the cell including calcium storage, protein synthesis, and lipid metabolism

Question 8

Smooth ER (function)

Answer 8

Functions:
- Lipid synthesis
- Production of steroids
- Detoxification
- Storage of calcium

Question 9

Rough ER (function)

Answer 9

Functions:
- Synthesis of membrane phospholipids
- Glycosylation of proteins (addition of carb chains to specific proteins)
- Protein folding - quality control
- Protein synthesis, modification, and transport

Question 10

Cotranslational important

Answer 10
