Document Summary

Endomembrane system = main difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Endomembrane system dynamic, coordinated network of all the cell"s organelles and related structures (except peroxisomes, mitochondria and chloroplasts: endoplasmic reticulum (er, golgi, endosomes, lysosomes/vesicles, secretory granules, plasma membrane. Large amounts of material are exchanged between each organelle/structure via small, membrane-bound transport vesicles. Each organelle is structurally and functionally distinct: contains a particular set of proteins, performs a unique set of activities, provides compartmentalisation and functional diversity, conserved in eukaryotes, dynamic structures. Several pathways exist in endomembrane system all rely on transport vesicles. Biosynthetic pathway materials are transported from the er to the golgi, to endosomes, and then to either lysosomes (referred to as vacuoles in plants and fungi) or, in some instances, to the plasma membrane (pm) Secretory pathway (two types): constitutive secretion, er-derived materials are continually transported from the golgi to the pm and/or.

One effective learning strategy when trying to learn largeamounts of factual information is to group items, or âchunkâ. Youshould include all important structures of the cell (this includescell membrane and membrane adaptations as well as organelles).Examples of general categories could be location, function,morphology, etc. Your categorization groups must tell the viewersomething about the structures. Once your structures are groupedaccording to the characteristics they share, you should include ashort phrase about what differentiates them from each other withinthe group. Citation of your source material must be present.

List of Organelles:

Nucleus, Nuclear envelope/membrane, Nucleolus, Ribosomes,Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, Mitochondria, Plasmamembrane, Cytoskeleton, Transport/secretory vesicles,Phagosomes/endosomes-including sorting & recycling endosomes,Lysosomes, Peroxisomes, Lipid droplets, Glycogen granules

I started this assignment and was going to go withfunction and morphology. Below is what I have so far, but I'mhaving a difficult time coming up with a short phrase for each anddistinguishing between the organelles that can change shape/morphand those that cannot. I am open to changing the categories that Ihave chosen to chunk. I've never used this technique before so it'sa new concept for me.

Function

Protein Synthesis â Nucleus, Nuclear envelope, Nuclear porecomplex, Ribosomes, Rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus,Plasma membrane

Energy Production â Mitochondria, Lipid droplets, Glycogengranules

Transportation â Transport vesicles, Phagosomes,Cytoskeleton

Metabolism â Lysosomes aid in digestion, Peroxisomes oxidizefatty acids

Morphology

Ability to change shape â Mitochondria, Cell membrane, Nuclearenvelope,

Inability to change shape â Nucleus, Nuclear envelope,

QUESTION 32

Microtubules can be assembled and disassembled quickly in response to the cellular changes is because:

	1.	Cells synthesize tubulin proteins very fast.
	2.	Cells can turn other cytoskeletal filaments into microtubules
	3.	Microtubules have an instable plus end and microtubules are probably organized by weak non-covalent interactions
	4.	The motor proteins of microtubules can organize the microtubules in response to the cellular changes

True

False

	4.	It has vesicles budding off its surface.

QUESTION 35

The membrane vesicles that transport materials between membrane compartments have a protein coat. The protein coat has similar functions in different vesicles. These functions include:

	1.	Help the enclosed material fold correctly.
	2.	Help degrade the protein in the vesicles
	3.	Maintain the internal pH of the vesicles
	4.	Function as mechanical device to form a vesicle and select the components to be carried by a vesicle.

QUESTION 36

Lysosomes are important for:

	1.	Receptor-mediated endocytosis.
	2.	Breaking down foreign particles brought into the cells by endosomes
	3.	Regulating the process of organelle turnover.
	4.	Protein trafficking between membrane compartments

	2.	Membranes arise from preexisting endoplasmic reticulum membranes.
	3.	Membranes are synthesized on ribosomes.
	4.	Membranes of all organelles have the same composition of proteins and lipids, since they all originate from endoplasmic reticulum.

QUESTION 38

During skeletal muscle contractions, the shortening of the muscle fibers is because of:

		The shortening of the cytoskeletal filaments.
		The kinesin proteins moving over microtubules.
		The actin and myosin filaments sliding over each other.

2.5 points

QUESTION 39

True

False

2.5 points

QUESTION 40

The functions of Golgi complex include:

	1.	O-linked oligosaccharides and most of a cellâs complex polysaccharides are assembled in Golgi complex
	2.	Cis Golgi complex sorts proteins
	3.	Trans Golgi complex segregates proteins in different types of vesicles for dilevery.
	4.	N-linked oligosaccharides are further processed in Golgi complex
