Q

Explain the evolutionary origin of mitochondria.

A

Mitochondria and Chloroplast presumably evolved by way of Endosymbiosis. They are isolated from the endomembrane system, which is why they are called orphaned organelles and there are other pathways for them to get proteins and membranes.

Q

What are the two functions of a membrane?

1) partition water (and those those things soluble in water)
2) compartmentalize enzymes to increase the efficiency of chemical reactions.

Q

If something is soluble in water and a shell of hydration forms around it, it is termed ___________________ .

A

hydrophilic

17
Q

When a vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane the contents of the lumen of the vesicle are:

A

Ligands that are used in cell communication.

18
Q

Explain the evolutionary origin of the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and vesicles.

A

The endomembrane system that resulted as the primitive proto-prokaryotic cell evolved into the primitive, proto-eukaryotic cell gave rise to many membranes in addition to the plasma membrane. The endomembrane system gave rise to a new type of protein synthesis AND a site where new lipids are made.

19
Q

What is the difference between a triglyceride and a phospholipid?

A

Triglycerides have glycerol and three fatty acids, which makes them fats. Phospholipids are not fats, since they have glycerol, two fatty acids and phosphorus. Phospholipids are more essential to the formation of lipid bilayers, which maintain cell membrane structure, than triglycerides are. Fat cells store triglycerides, while phospholipids help break down fats in the body.

20
Q

For a protein to enter the endoplasmic reticulum as part of the endoplasmic reticulum’s lumen or part of the endoplasmic reticulum’s membrane:

A

A ribosome binds to the mRNA and a short stretch of protein is synthesized that contains a signal sequence.

21
Q

What is the difference between a single-pass transmembrane protein and a 7-pass transmembrane protein?

A
22
Q

The actin filament system is _____ in the nucleus.

A

not present

23
Q

Chromosomes are made out of ________.

A

DNA and proteins

24
Q

Molecular motors use ___ as the energy source to power the molecular motors.

A

ATP

25
Q

________ does not exist in Nature but scientists can make _______ in a test tube.

A

naked DNA

26
Q

Where is the histone H1 found?

A

with each nucleosomal core unit there is one H1 that is acting, sort of, like a staple.

27
Q

Heterochromatin _____ in interphase nuclei.

A

does exist

28

The diameter of an intermediate filament is ______.

A

10 nm

29
Q
