The Synthesis And Transport Of Protiens- Intracellular Membranes

Question 1

What do eukaryotic cells have a system of?

Answer 1

Internal membranes that increase the total area of membrane

Question 2

Why do eukaryotic cells need to have increased area of membrane?

Answer 2

Because of their size eukaryotic cells have a relatively small surface area to volume ratio so the plasma membrane of the eukaryotic cells is therefore too small an area to carry out all the vital functions carried out by membranes

Question 3

What does the endoplasmic reticulum form?

Answer 3

A network of membrane tubules continuous with the nucleus membrane

Question 4

What is the Golgi apparatus?

Answer 4

A series of flattened membrane discs

Question 5

What are lysosomes?

Answer 5

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing a variety of hydrolyses that digest proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and carbohydrates

Question 6

What are the vesicles?

Answer 6

They transport materials between membrane compartments
