Lecture: Chp 2 Flashcards
Non functional, temporary for storage
Inclusions
Controls protein synthesis
Nucleus
Difference between inclusions and vesicles
Vesicles have membranes surrounding them.
Functions of the ER
- Rough ER: Synthesizes protein, plasma membrane, and lysosomes. Smooth ER: Steroid, fatty acid, and phospholipid synthesis. 2. Txp through CISTERNAL SPACE (space inside ER) 3. Stores newly made molecules. 4. Detoxifies Drugs and alcohol.
“Traffic director”
Golgi bodies. Translocation requires ATP.
Functions of the golgi bodies
Modification of plasma membrane, packages enzymes for lysosomes, sorts all material for delivery to plasma membrane.
Autolysis
Digesting remains after cell death. Cell commits suicide. This is a job for the lysosomes.
What digests microbes (phagocytosis) and salutes (pinocytosis) and special molecules (receptor-mediated endocytosis)?
Lysosomes. The process that includes those 3 is endocytosis.
Which organelle removes worn out or damaged organelles and cellular components?
Lysosomes
What is Autophagy?
Natural, regulated, recycling of small molecules for re-synthesis. This is a job for the lysosomes.
Lysosomal storage disease
Tay-Sacks disease
What organelle converts hydrogen peroxide to water?
Peroxisomes
Organelle that carries out cellular respiration
Mitochondria
Endosymbiont theory involves what organelle?
Mitochondria. The theory’s evidence is that mitochondria has its own DNA therefore it’s possible that in the past mitochondria functioned outside the cell.
Mitochondrial eve
Most common recent ancestor of all currently living humans. Line traced through all mother until it reaches a mother that everyone comes from hella long ago.
Adrenoleukodystrophy
Missing protein for moving an enzyme into the peroxisomes. Lorenzo’s oil is based on this. Adrenal gland dysfunction.
