example on segrating metabolic processes ?
1 - separate glycolysis from glycogenesis.
2 - separate synthesis of protien bonds from hydrlysis of protien bonds
what is protein sorting ?
it is the process of transfering proteins from the compartment where they are made to the compartment where they are used
protein sorting depends on what ?
on signals built into the amino acid sequence of the proteins
what is the most prominent organelle in eukaryotic cells ?
The nucleus
what is nuclear envelope ?
a double membrane that surround the nucleus which have pore structure on its surface
how the nucleus communicates with cytosol ?
via nuclear pores that perforate the envelope
what is the major site of synthesis of new membranes in the cell ?
endoplasmic reticulum (ER),
what is the different between rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum ?
the rough one have ribosomes attached to the cytosolic surface
what is the functions of the smooth ER ?
1- , it is the site of steroid hormone synthesis in some endocrine cells

; mutations in thePEX1gene are the most common
How is the disease inherited?
in anautosomal recessivemanner.
what PEX1gene provides ?
provides instructions for making a protein called (pex1) protein which is part of a group of proteins called peroxins
