Document Summary

Secretory pathway: a transport system between several types of organelles and the cell surface (plasma. Some organelles (mitochondria) are not connected to the secretory pathway. Fulfill several important functions: provide an enclosure to cells, and to organelles within cells, allow regulated transport of materials between compartments, provide sites within cells for biochemical reactions. Metabolism of biological molecules (synthesized at the membrane sites): lipids, glycans, others: support contacts with the environment outside cells generally stemming from the plasma membrane (involved with contacts e. g. extracellular components) Cell motion, recognition of other cells, cell fusion. Transmission of signals from exterior to interior (and interior exterior) of cells. Form hydrophobic barriers between aqueous compartments within the cell: cytosol and organellar lumens = aqueous compartments. Flexible and can be formed into different shapes by contents of membrane and proteins of different cells. Selectively permeable to small hydrophobic molecules, but not to larger or charged/polar molecules.
