PSYC 3458 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi Apparatus, Cell Membrane
Document Summary
Endoplasmic reticulum: network of membrane enclosed sacs, site of protein production and folding. Cytoskeleton: gel like matrix provides structure to cells. Plasma membrane: organelle that protects the cell from the environment and control what comes in and out. Concepts: be able to describe, define and/or differentiate. Kinesis: proteins that move in anterograde (towards synape) dynein motor proteins: proteins that move in retrograde (towards cell body) How proteins are made start to finish: dna-rna-protein then folding. How many levels of structure can a protein have: 4.

Diffusion: process where ions move from high concentration to low facilitated diffusion: process were ions move from high to love concentration with the help of protein carrier molecules in the membrane. Passive transport: no atp, move with concentration gradient.
