BIOL 2242 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Calcium Oxalate, Oxalate, Endomembrane System
Document Summary
Ions, organics, secondary metabolites (some as crystals oxalate crystals) Water-soluble pigments e. g. anthocyanins: supplements carotenoids in plastids, recycling site. Breakdown old organelles, cell components to re-use: analogous to lysosomes in animal cells, metabolic site. Especially pathways requiring low ph e. g. enzymes involved in catabolic (degradative) metabolism: determining final cell size & shape. Cheap way of increasing size via turgor (cytoplasm is full of important elements, proteins; vacuole can hold water to increase size) 3. 20 a) druses and b) raphids (made of calcium oxalate: endoplasmic reticulum. 3. 21, p. 52: network for communication and transport within and between cells. In co-op with golgi bodies: ca + mediated regulation of cell physiology. 3. 23, p. 53 production and transport of membranes & non-cellulosic cell wall materials by endomembrane system) Rer, ser, golgi, pm, vesicles, & outer nuclear membrane. Rough er (rer: consists of cisternae (flattened sacs) Summer 2017: connect to outer nuclear membrane.
