Organelles (ORAL SCIENCE) Flashcards
1
Q
Explain Endoplasmic reticulum
A
smooth or rough ER (70-80S Humans) (30-50S bacteria)
2
Q
Structure and function of ER
A
Structure and function
* Rough ER*
- Studded with ribosomes
- Process and sorting
- Proteins
* Smooth ER*
- No ribosomes
- Synthesize, FA (fatty acids) and steroids
- Unique enzymes – glucose, detoxify
Ca2+
3
Q
Explain Golgi complex
A
packages proteins and send to cell
4
Q
Functions of Golgi Complex
A
Functions of Golgi Complex
* Receive, modify proteins
* Add other subs like CHO (Carbohydrates, lipids etc
* Modifies, sorts, packages
5
Q
Processing and Packaging (golgi complex)
A
- Synthesised protein -> transport vesicle
- Entry face cisterna
- Transfer vesicle
- Secretory vesicle
Proteins exported from cell (exostoses)
6
Q
What is Mitochondria
A
creates energy for the cell to utilise
7
Q
What is Mt-DNA
A
Mitochrondrial DNA
8
Q
Explain Nucleus
A
- Some cells do not have nucleus,
Some have more nucleus (muscle cells) - Nuclear envelope
- Nuclear pore
- Nucleoli – produce ribosomes
- Chromosomes — DNA — 46 total
- 23 pairs, 22 autosomes, 1 pair sex chromosome
- Genes
Without nucleus won’t be able to divide and or make proteins.
