BIOLOGY 2EE3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Endoplasmic Reticulum, Secretion, Protein Folding
Document Summary
Chapter 3: the morphology of typical eukaryal cells, diversity of eukaryal microbes - model microbes. Interactions between eukaryal microbes and animals, plants and the environment. The morphology of typical eukaryal cells: have membrane-bound nucleus, 10-100 um larger than bacterial/archaeal cells, contain intracellular compartments (organelles, may possess a cell wall structure, complex internal cytoskeleton in place, flagellum. Endoplasmic reticulum and golgi apparatus: proteins are directed to organelles by a signal sequence, some proteins directed to secretory pathway in. Er/golgi apparatus: rough endoplasmic reticulum is a site of translation and protein folding, golgi apparatus modifies, sorts and transports proteins. Uses cellular respiration to produce atp via the electrochemical proton gradient: double membrane bound organelle. Cytoskeleton: provides shape and support to eukaryotic cells, and directs movement of material within the cell, very different composition to bacteria, 3 major structures, microtubules (dynamic, microfilaments (dynamic)
