2- Where proteins, membrane lipids and other molecules are synthesized and or processed

24
Q

Microtubules

A

Large diameter, ha;llow cytoskeletal elements made of pairs of the proteins A-TUBULIN AND B-TUBULIN

25
Q

Actin Filaments

A

Small diamter cytoskeletal fibers made of subunits of the protein Actin

26
Q

Intermediate Filaments

A

Cytoskeletal fibers whose size in intermediate between those of actin filaments and microtubeles and can be made from a variety of protein subunits.

27
Q

Cytoplasm

Region around the organelle

28
Q

cytosol

The fuild like substance that make a cytoplasm

29
Q

What are the key players in the Endomembrane System

A

1-Rough ER, Golgi, Microtubules, MotorProtiens

30
Q

Signal sequence

A

A series of amino acids at the start of a protein that allows that protein to enter the endomembrane system.

31
Q

Motor protein

A

A protein that functions in cell movement through shape changes caused by phosphorylation or dephosphorylation.

32
Q

Phosphorylation

A

The addition of a phosphate group (PO43-) to a protein or other molecule. In most cases, the phosphate group comes from ATP. Dephosphorylation is the reverse process.

33
Q

Evidence that support the theory of sndosymbosis

A

1-Two membranes
2-Singular circular chromosome
3-Ribosomes similar to the size of prokaryotic ribosomes
4-Can make own protein
5-Able to replicate independent of the cells
