35
Q

essentially what are lysosomes

A

the recycling centers for the cell to break stuff down

36
Q

how are lysosmes formed

A

by the fusion of vesicles that have budded off from the trans golgi and endosomes

37
Q

what is the lumen of a lysosme like compared to the cytoplasm

A

it is more acidic

38
Q

what does the acidic environment of the lumen of the lysosme do

A

it activates the hydrolases and limits the activity if they exit

39
Q

what are phagosomes

A

vesicles that pinch off from te cells plasma membrane that are processed in the lysosomes

40
Q

what organelle is responsible for degrading defective organelles

A

lysosomes

41
Q

what type of network is ER, Golgi, Lysosomes, and associated vesicles

A

a discontinuous network w/ functions related to lipid and protein synthesis

42
Q

what is the process that must happen for successful movement of material thru the endomembrane system

A

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
Q

what are the steps of forming coat proteins

A

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
Q

what is the protein that forms coat proteins

A

clathrin

45
Q

Are coat proteins specific to the organelle

yes

Q

how do vesicles move to the target w/ a short distance

A

via diffusion

50
Q

how do vesicles move to the target w/ a long distance

A

via microtubules on motor proteins

51
Q

t/f: vesicles can only move individually

A

false, they can move individually or fussed together and move in masses

52
Q

what is the fusion complex

Q

what is endocytosis

A

the movement of material from the extracellular environment into the cell

54
Q

t/f: there is a pH drop during endocytosis

A

true

55
Q

what are the steps of endocytosis

A

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
