Microbiology and Immunology 3100A Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi Apparatus, Cell Membrane
Document Summary
Many unanswered questions (permits a detailed understanding of the tissue and organisms that cells compose) Determine what is normal so we can fix the abnormal . Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus (contains genetic information) and plasma membrane. In cytoplasm, there are many different things: organelles such as mitochondria (important for making atp), lysosomes, peroxisomes, secretory vessels, structures such as endoplasmic reticulum (processing proteins secreted or inserted into the plasma membrane) and golgi apparatus. Ultimate goal: to understand how macromolecular systems and organelles work and cooperate to enable cells to function autonomously and in tissues. Hypothesis-driven experiments question related to how a cell does things. First, you"ll need the tools & methods to: In order to understand how cell goes about that we need to be able to look at cells: separate cell organelles. Identify and study how proteins drive a cell biological process.
