25
t/f: the golgi does not have directionality
false, their is an orientation of flow
26
what is the cis face of the golgi
the recieving side from the ER
27
what is the trans face of the golgi
the side that ships materials to other organelles
28
what are the main functions of the golgi
transporting, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipids into vesicles for a targeted destinations
29
what post translational modifications are preformed by the golgi
glycosylation, sulfation, and phosphorylation
30
what is glycosylation
addition or removal of sugars from cargo proteins
31
what is sulfation
the addition of sulfate groups
32
what is phosphorylation
the addition of phosphate groups
33
what are the three fates of materials leaving the golgi
targeting to other organelles, incorporation into dense core secretory vesicles that are stored and later released throug the regulated secretory pathway, and vesicles containing membrane and proteins that are immediately released to the surface via constitutie secretory pathway
34
what is the pathway of materials leaving the golgi
trans face of the golgi to the vesicle to the membrane to the outside world OR trans face of the golgi to the vesicles to wait to secrete
35
essentially what are lysosomes
the recycling centers for the cell to break stuff down
36
how are lysosmes formed
by the fusion of vesicles that have budded off from the trans golgi and endosomes
37
what is the lumen of a lysosme like compared to the cytoplasm
it is more acidic
38
what does the acidic environment of the lumen of the lysosme do
it activates the hydrolases and limits the activity if they exit
39
what are phagosomes
vesicles that pinch off from te cells plasma membrane that are processed in the lysosomes
40
what organelle is responsible for degrading defective organelles
lysosomes
41
what type of network is ER, Golgi, Lysosomes, and associated vesicles
a discontinuous network w/ functions related to lipid and protein synthesis
42
what is the process that must happen for successful movement of material thru the endomembrane system
vesicles must be created , then addressed so that they go to the correct target, then they must be moved to the target, then they must be bound to the target
43
what are the steps of forming coat proteins
assemble at the membrane forced by a lipid bilayer to begin to bend, they select the cargo that is packaged into forming vesicles, they fall into the shape of a sphere, then they pinch off from the membrane followed by the the coat falling off
44
what is the protein that forms coat proteins
clathrin
45
Are coat proteins specific to the organelle
yes
46
what are the two coat protein complexs
COP1 and COP2
47
what are snares
complementary proteins on the vesicles
48
what are the two types of snares coat proteins are comprised of
v snares and t snares
49
how do vesicles move to the target w/ a short distance
via diffusion
50
how do vesicles move to the target w/ a long distance
via microtubules on motor proteins
51
t/f: vesicles can only move individually
false, they can move individually or fussed together and move in masses
52
what is the fusion complex
association of v snares and t snares of the vesicles and the membrane of the target organelle
53
what is endocytosis
the movement of material from the extracellular environment into the cell
54
t/f: there is a pH drop during endocytosis
true
55
what are the steps of endocytosis
the macromolecues outside the cell bind to membrane proteins that act as receptors, the membrane folds in and pinches off to form an endocytic vesicle, then the vesicle fuses w/ an early endosome releasing the cargo and recycling the empty receptors, the once early endosome now late endosome recieves digestive enzymes from the golgi, and finally the late endosome matures into a functional lysosome and digests the endocyosed macromolecules
56
what is the cytoskeleton comprised of
they are arranged from long filaments and are anchored to the membrane by cell to cell junctions
57
what are the 3 types of cytoskeleton

61
what are the two protein subunits tubulin contains
alpha and beta tubulin
62
what constructs the strands of each subunit
dimers
63
what is polymerization
the addition of tubulin subunits
64
