Exam 1 Flashcards
what is the fluid mosaic model
the plasma membrane as a ‘mosaic’ of components that are able to flow and change position while maintaining the basic integrity of the membrane
how are lipids and proteins associated w/ the membrane due to fluidity of the lipids
rapidly and laterally
what molecules can cross the selective barrier of the semipermeable membrane
dissolved gases, water, non polar molecules, and small polar molecules
t/f: most molecules cannot easily cross the cell membrane
true
how does the cell membrane of the nuclear envelope, mitochonria, intracellular vesicles, ER and golgi apparatus differ
their protein composition
what are the organelles of the endomembrane system
ER, golgi apparatus, endosomes, and lysosomes
how is material moved from one organelle to another
vesicles
what is the ER
a system of membrane enclosed sacs and tubules in the cell
what are the three roles of the rough ER
synthesis of proteins designed to be secreted from the cell, inserted in the membrane, and delivered to another membrane organelle
what are the two main functions of the SER
synthesis of lipids and generating vesicles for transported proteins to the golgi
what is another role of the ER
intracellular Ca storage
what are cytosolic proteins
distinct types of secretory proteins that are synthesized by ribosomes that are free in the cytoplasm
what happens if you interrupt ribosomes forming protein
they will fall off the RER
what types of proteins are produced by the ribosomes in the cytoplasm
proteins for the nucleus, mitochondria, cytoplasm, chloroplasts, and peroxisomes
what types of proteins are produced by the ribosomes bound to the ER
plasma membrane, secretory vesicles, endosomes which move into lysosomes
what was the fate of proteins designed to be secreted by the cell or residein the lumen of the Golgi
it will pass all the way through into the lumen of the RER
what is the fate of the proteins designed for the plasma membranes or the membrane of other organelles
they are retained w/in the membrane of the RER and can become anchored in the membrane becoming hydrophobic
where do proteins first become glycosylated
in the RER
what is proteins becoming glycosylated in the rough ER an example of
post translational modification
where is glycosylation presented on the cell membrane
on the extracellular side
what is the structure of the SER like
tubular disc like structure
what does the SER produce for the adrenal cortex
produces cells that secrete steroid hormones
what does the SER produce for the liver
hepatocytes that synthesis lipids for secretion of lipoproteins
what does the SER in muscle cells do for the cells
they help expand and specialize the form
t/f: the golgi does not have directionality
false, their is an orientation of flow
what is the cis face of the golgi
the recieving side from the ER
what is the trans face of the golgi
the side that ships materials to other organelles
what are the main functions of the golgi
transporting, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipids into vesicles for a targeted destinations
what post translational modifications are preformed by the golgi
glycosylation, sulfation, and phosphorylation
what is glycosylation
addition or removal of sugars from cargo proteins
what is sulfation
the addition of sulfate groups
what is phosphorylation
the addition of phosphate groups
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
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
