Q

How do organelles work together in the production of proteins?

A

1) ribosomes = protein synthesis
2) rough endoplasmic reticulum = protein transport
3) transport vesicles
4) Golgi apparatus = modifies and packages proteins into vesicles
5) secretary vesicles = for release from the cell
6) exocytosis = vesicles move towards cell surface membrane for exocytosis

Q

What is the fibre microtubule made from?

A
  • made from a protein called TUBULIN
  • Made by centrioles and have a hollow lumen
17
Q

What is the function of the microtubule?

A

-cell shape
-movement of organelles (includes vesicles)
- form the mitotic spindle
- contraction of cilia and flagella

18
Q

What are two examples of microtubules?

A

-cilia and flagella -contain microtubules
- cilia - hair like
- flagella - whip/ tail

19
Q

What is the arrangement of the cross section of the cilia/cilium >

A
  • 1 pair of microtubules in middle, 9 pairs around the outside
  • microtubules run parallel to each other to drive movement
  • in a 9+2 arrangement
20
Q

Why can mitochondria appear differently in different images?

A

Cut in different plane/angle
