BI110 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Intermediate Filament, Euglena, Flagellum
Document Summary
They avoid light, because they cannot handle lots of light. Named for their size, the medium size filament. Each strand will intertwine into thick cables. Can be made up of different proteins. Flagella used for movement (whiplike movement to propel cell across the surface) Dynein (motor protein, needs atp to be consumed to work) Protein that creates force for flagella to move. Has proteins that have been synthesized by the rough er, moved and modified in the. Golgi bodies and secreted to the outside of the cell. Accounts for 40% of protein in the human body. Collagen is embedded in the proteoglycan complex. General term for proteins that have been glycosylated (have carbohydrates within them) Will attach 2 components of the ecm and the integrins (proteins embedded in the membrane) Connected to intermediate filaments (connected to cytoskeleton and important for movement of body) Channels between cells that allow movement of water and cell molecules.
