Document Summary
>>>>>the nucleus contains the cell"s genetic library (see fig. >>>>>many cell organelles are connected through the endomembrane system. All of the components are related either directly or indirectly. >>>>>the endoplasmic reticulum manufactures membranes and performs other vital biosynthetic functions. Functions: manufacture of membranes, synthesis of secretory proteins, makes glycoproteins by attaching sugars to the proteins, synthesis of lipids, carbohydrate metabolism, detoxification, calcium storage. >>>>>the golgi apparatus finishes, sorts and ships many cell products (see fig 6. 12) Food vacuole formation: the role of the lysosome. --phagocytosis: recycling of cellular material, programmed cell destruction. >>>>>peroxisomes consume oxygen in metabolic functions (see fig 6. 19) >>>>>mitochondria and chloroplasts are the main energy transformers of cells. Membranes are not part of the endomembrane system. Make some but not all of their proteins (10-20%) Can grow, move, change shape and reproduce: breakdown of fatty acids, oxidation of molecules, breakdown of peroxide (h2o2, detoxification. Inner membrane is highly folded to increase surface area.
