Term
|
Definition
contains three different types of protein filaments
- Microtubules (long, hollow, dynamic instability, the big part of the bridge)

vesicles transport materials between stacks...
- secretion, processing and protein sorting
|
|
|
Term
Endoplasmic Reticulum
both |
|
Definition
network of membranes that form flattened, fluid filled tubules or cisternae
membrane encloses a single compartment called the lumen
Rough and smooth |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- studded with ribosomes
- involved in protein synthesis and sorting
- continuous with the nucleus
- MRNA comes through to make proteins
- produces the membranes used in the cell
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
No ribosomes
involved in detoxification, carbohydrate metabolism, calcium balance, sythesis and modification of lipids
(drinkers will have a larger build up of this in their cells) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
boundary between the cell and the extracellular environment
- membrane transport (selectively permeable)
- cell signaling using receptors
- cell adhesion
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
outside the cell organelles but inside the plasma membrane (20-50% of volume)
also this is the central coordinating region for many metabolic activities
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
includes everything inside the plasma membrane
(cytosol, endomembrane system and semiautomous organelles) |
|
|
Term
|

|
|
Term
|
Definition
breakdown of a molecule into smaller components |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
synthesis of cellular molecules and macromolecules |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
- plasma membrane
- nucleus
- endoplasmic reticulum
- golgi apparatus
- lysosomes
- vacuoles
either directly connected or pass materials via vesicles |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
broad term meaning a membrane bound container...varied in size
use:moves materials around cell |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Suicide sacks
contain acid hydrolases that perform hydrolysis...breaks down proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and lipids dependign on kind of acid hydrolases produced
Autophagy: recycles worn out organelles through endocytosis
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
primarly in plants (bigger)
- varried functions depending on cell type
- Plants=support and storage
- contractile vacuoles in protists for expelling excess water
- phagocytic vacuoles in protists and white blood cells for degradation
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
catalyze certain reactions that break down molecules by removing hydrogen or adding oxygen
typical cell contains 100s
Detoxification:
reaction produces H2O2 which is broken down into water and oxygen
also metabolism of fats and amino acids
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- have own DNA
- can grow and divide to reproduce themselves
- depend on other parts of the cell for their components
examples mitochondria and chloroplasts |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Primary function to make ATP
outer and inner membrane, intermembrane space and mitochondrial matrix
involved in synthesis, modification and breakdown of several types of cellular molecules
contain own DNA (semiautomous) and divide by binary fission
thought to have come from bacteria
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Sorting of proteins from the cytosol that must first stop in the ER before being sent to: Golgi, lysosome, vacuole, plasma membrane, or secretion.
synthesis begins in cytosol and pauses until ribosome binds to the ER membrane, then translation resumes and the polypeptide is synthesized into the ER
the first steps of sorting occures at the same time as translation is occuring
- ERsignal sequence recognized by SRP (signal recognition particle)
- vesicles from ER contain v-snare proteins that complement t-snare (receptors) on organelle surface
|
|
|
Term
Post-translational sorting |
|
Definition
the uptake of most proteins into: nucleus, mitochondia, chloroplasts, peroxisomes, takes place after the protein is completely made (translated) in the cytosol.
Sorting does not occure till translation is finished
(organelles besides ER)
- targeting sequences within proteins
