Nucleus
Term
What does NPC stand for
Definition
Nuclear Pore Complex
Term
What does the NPC do
Definition
NPC sits within a nuclear pore, it transports protein complexes into the nucleus

Term
In the ER the internal lumen is termed?
Definition
cisternal spaces
Term
Name the two distinct regions of the ER
Definition
Smooth and Rough
Term
Why does the smooth er appear smooth?
Definition
because it lacks cytoplasmic surface ribosomes
Term
Name the four functions smooth ER has
Definition
1. Synthesizes lipids, phospholipids, and steroids
2. Participates in carb metabolism
3. Detoxification
4. Stores Ca
Term
Cells that produce and secrete lipids are rich in what?
Definition
smooth ER
Term
Name 3 cytoplasmic precursors of phospholipids?
Definition
Fatty acyl CoA, glycerol 3 phosphate and polar head groups
Term
What are nonspecific flippases proteins that move phospholipids from one face of the membrane to the other are called?

Definition
liver
Term
What do enzymes do to drugs and toxins to get rid of them?
Definition
In the liver, enzymes in the ER detoxify drugs and poisons by catalyzing the addition of hydroxyl groups to drugs and poisons making them aqueous soluble so they may be excreted from the body in urine
