· Vesicles
Vesicles bud off from the trans Golgi network and accumulate near the
plasma membrane
Wait for extracellular signal that will stimulate them to fuse with the
plasma membrane and release contents by exocytosis
· Peroxisomes
Peroxisomes contain enzymes that produce hydrogen peroxide
Break down molecules (e.g. toxins, alcohol, fatty acids)
Synthesise phospholipids
Acquire proteins via selective transport from the cytosol
· Lysosomes
Membrane-enclosed organelle
Breaks down worn-out proteins, organelles, waste materials and
molecules taken up by endocytosis
C ontains digestive enzymes that are typically most active at the acid pH
found inside these organelles
· Vacuoles
Vesicle within a cell's cytoplasm
Enclosed by a membrane
Contains fluid
1.9 Explain the role of the ribosome and the endomembrane system in the
production, folding, transport and export of proteins in the cell.
1.10 Describe the functions of the cytoskeleton including its role in:
· Cytoskeleton
Composed of actin filaments/microtubules/intermediate filaments
An intricate network of protein filaments that extends throughout the
cytoplasm
· Cell structure
Actin filaments
Thinnest
Abundant in all eukaryotic cells
Occur in large numbers inside muscle cells
Serve as central part for muscle contraction

Document Summary

Vesicles: vesicles bud off from the trans golgi network and accumulate near the plasma membrane, wait for extracellular signal that will stimulate them to fuse with the plasma membrane and release contents by exocytosis. Peroxisomes: peroxisomes contain enzymes that produce hydrogen peroxide, break down molecules (e. g. toxins, alcohol, fatty acids, synthesise phospholipids, acquire proteins via selective transport from the cytosol. Lysosomes: membrane-enclosed organelle, breaks down worn-out proteins, organelles, waste materials and molecules taken up by endocytosis, c ontains digestive enzymes that are typically most active at the acid ph found inside these organelles. Vacuoles: vesicle within a cell"s cytoplasm, enclosed by a membrane, contains fluid. 1. 9 explain the role of the ribosome and the endomembrane system in the production, folding, transport and export of proteins in the cell. 1. 10 describe the functions of the cytoskeleton including its role in: Cytoskeleton: composed of actin filaments/microtubules/intermediate filaments, an intricate network of protein filaments that extends throughout the cytoplasm.
