Golgi Apparatus

A

Consists of flat stacked vesicles known as cisternae, the cis side uptakes molecules from the RER and the trans side sends out modified proteins to the plasma membrane

133
Q

Lysosomes

A

Digestive organelles that have single membrane and store hydrolosases that are pH activated. They have a low internal Ph using H+ pumps and a special carbohydrate coating on the inner membrane to prevent self digestion

134
Q

Degradation pathway of a lysosome

A

1)Endocytosis-cells absorb external material via engulfing through the membrane
2)Phagocytosis- ingestion of larger molecules
3)Autophagy- material from a damaged cell is absorbed and recycled

135
Q

Components of the endomembrane system

A

Golgi,ER,Vesicles,Lysosomes

136
Q

Exocytosis

A

Protein leave the cell and are added to the plasma membrane

137
Q

Endocytosis

A

Cellular uptake of particles and macromolecules

138
Q

Peroxisome

A

Small single membrane organelles found in the liver and kidney used in detoxification and breakdown of fatty acids via the generation and degradation of hydrogen peroxide

139
Q

2 Membranes of the miochondira

A

Outer membrane-Contains porins which allow the free movement of small molecules across the membrane
Inner membrane-acts as a permeability barrier, folds into cristae that assist in cellular respiration

140
Q

3 regions of the mitochondria

A

1)Matrix-Within inner membrane, contains most of the enzymes associated with Mitochondria function and houses DNA and ribosomes
2)Intermmebrane space- area between inner and outer membrane
3)Intracristal space- localized region where protons can accumulate during electron transport

141
Q

Chloroplasts

A

Site of photosynthesis, contains an inner membrane and outer membrane which contains the thylakoids where photosynthesis occurs

142
Q

Vacuoles

A

In plants used to store amino acids,ions,proteins, polysachharides and keep toxic materials

143
Q

Cytoskeleton

A

3d arrangement of interconnected microfillaments,microtubules and intermediate filaments which provide strength and structure and assist in cell division

144
Q

Extracellular matrix

A

Comprised of protiens,glycolipids,glycoaminoglycansens and supports cells to form tissues,substrate for motility, growth promoting, and rigidity of plants
