Document Summary

Certain organelles of the eukaryotic cell have evolved from smaller prokaryotic cells that have taken up residence within the cytoplasm of a larger host cell.

The combined surface area of cytoplasmic membranes is many times greater than the. Endo-membrane organelles are part of a dynamic system in which materials are shuttled back and forth from one part of the cell to another. The organelles of the endo-membrane system are functionally distinct from one another: contain a particular set of proteins, perform a unique set of activities, provides compartmentation and functional diversity, conserved in eukaryotes, dynamic structures. Almost nothing inside a cell has a fixed shape. This is important to maintain a dynamic system. Constituitve materials transported in secretory vesicles and continuously discharged into extracellular space. Regulated materials are stored as membrane-bound packages that are discharged only in response to a specific stimulus.
