Question | Answer |
---|---|
cytosol? | water, sugar, salts, proteins, ions and amino acids |
small subunits of ribosomes? | align amino acids, 18s rRNA |
large subunits of ribosomes? | catalyse peptide bond formation, 28s 5.8s and 5s rRNA |
when do subunits of ribosomes join? | during protein synthesis |
what makes ribosomal units? | rRNA and cytoplasmic proteins combined in the nucleus |
what is formed when rRNA and cytoplasmic proteins are combined in the nucleus? | ribosomal units |
where are the ribosomal units transported? | cytoplasm through NPCs |
what is synthesised on cytoplasmic ribosomes? | ribosomal proteins |
where are the ribosomal proteins transported to? | nucleolus |
what do ribosomal proteins combine with in the nucleolus? | rRNA |
when ribosomal proteins and rRNA combine in the nucleus what is formed? | pre-ribosomal particles |
how is rRNA synthesised? | RNA polymerase II in the nucleolus |
what occurs when ribosomal proteins and rRNAs combine? | maturation |
what indicates a single endosymbiotic event in eukaryotes? | cytochrome-c-oxidase |
what is in the mitochondrial matrix? | DNA, ribosomes and enzymes |
how do mitochondria divide? | binary fission |
functions of the endomembrane system? | protein synthesis/ modification intra/inter cellular transport of proteins metabolism and movement of lipids detoxificatioon of pathogens cell growth |
cisternae? | fluid filled spaces between membranes in the ER |
functions of the ER? | transport intra/inter cellular protein synthesis and modification lipid synthesis storage of biomolecules |
where do proteins go in the RER? | RER lumen to be modified |
what do RER lumen contain? | enzymes for glycosylation |
what is RER important for? | production of new plasma membrane and plasma membrane proteins |
functions of SER? | lipid synthesis metabolism of carbohydrates detoxification of drugs and poisons storage of calcium ions |
how does the SER detoxify drugs and poisons | addition of OH |
formation of golgi? | ER vesicles fuse to make flattened stacks (cisternae) |
describe cisternae in golgi | discrete and proteins mature as they move through |
how does the golgi have directionality? | proteins received from the ER at cis face move through medial cisternae sorted and shipped at trans face |
functions of golgi? | processing proteins assembly glycoproteins transportation and storage of lipids formation of lysosomes storage and transport of digestive enzymes secretion of carbs for plant cell wall synthesis formation of secretory vesicles |
the cisternal maturation model refers to what? | golgi |
each cisterna contains what? | enzymes needed to modify macromolecules |
what happens in the cisterna when proteins and lipids progress | modified |
how is transportation to the correct place in the golgi cisternae ensured? | molecular identification tags eg P added at trans face |
why are molecular identification tags eg P added at trans face? | to ensure transportation to the correct place |
what do lysosomes have? | hydrolytic enzymes working at low pH |
functions of lysosomes? | digestion of work out organelles phagocytosis exocytosis autolysis / autophagy |
what is the endocytic pathway referring to? | lysosomes |
what does the endocytic pathway do? | transfers macromolecules from the extracellular to intracellular environments |
what happens to extracellular material? | endocytosed and transported to early endosome |
what happens to pH in the early endosome to the late endosome? | decreases |
pH decreases during the endocytic pathway where? | from early endosome to late endosome |
what fuses to the late endosome in the endocytic pathway? | lysosome |
what does the lysosome fuse with in the endocytic pathway? | late endosome |
what does the endolysosome do? | release enzymes |
why is a small leakage from lysosomes not damaging to cells? | cytosolic pH is high |
