Document Summary

Sorting signal is recognized by receptor on protein, moves it to e. r, if not, then is made in cytosol. If it goes in er, can go to. Cells differ in size and shape reflects their function play critical role for the protein fibers of the cytoskeleton to provide internal support to maintain the shape of eukaryotic cells. Shape of cell is determined by function of cell (eg. neurons compared to dermal cells), cytoskeleton is very important prok don"t have cytoskeleton. All eukaryotic cells have microtubules (mt) (composed of tubulin) and microfilaments (composed of actin) remain unchanged throughout evolution (75-80% amino acid identity across organisms) cytoskeleton intermediate filaments protein subunits provide structural support. All three are long chains made up of specific changes in shape, assist in mitosis/cell division. Thickness: tubulin > intermediate > actin movement of substances within cells, assist in. Intermediate filaments are not identical in all cells (eg. diff in fibroblasts than in neurons)
