@ -70,15 +70,37 @@ A person contains roughly 100 trillion cells
|
||||
- All organelles are suspended in cytosol
|
||||
- Cytoplasm is the cytosol along with everything in a cell, excluding the nucleus
|
||||
|
||||
## Rough Endoplasmic reticulum
|
||||
The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of tubules and flattened sacs with a "rough" appearance because of the presence of ribosomes on the surface
|
||||
## Endoplasmic Reticulum
|
||||
- Network of tubules and flattened sacs
|
||||
- Transport proteins via cytoskeleton in vesicles
|
||||
|
||||
### Function
|
||||
- Protein synthesis
|
||||
- About half of the cell's proteins are made here, by the ribosomes
|
||||
- Protein movement
|
||||
- Proteins are transported by vesicles throught the cell to other organelles, like the golgi apparatus
|
||||
- Protein "Proof-Reading"
|
||||
- pre-existing proteins are center the rough-ER for modification
|
||||
### Rough ER
|
||||
- Appears "rough" due to the ribosomes attached to its outer surface
|
||||
- Located directly adjacent and attached to nucleus
|
||||
- Located next to Golgi apparatus
|
||||
- Ribosomes in rough ER synthesize proteins
|
||||
- Only specific proteins are synthesized by ribosomes of rough ER
|
||||
- Proteins synthesized in ribosomes of rough ER are always sent to either Golgi apparatus via vesicles or stay in rough ER
|
||||
- Ribosomes attach to and leave the rough ER regularly
|
||||
- About half the cell's proteins are produced here
|
||||
- Modify, fold, and fix proteins
|
||||
|
||||
### Smooth ER
|
||||
- Does not synthesize proteins
|
||||
- Appears "smooth" due to lack of ribosomes
|
||||
- Located directly adjacent and attached to nucleus
|
||||
- Synthesizes lipids (fats, e.g., cholesterol)
|
||||
- Metabolises carbohydrates
|
||||
|
||||
## Lysosome
|
||||
- Spherical vesicle that contains enzymes
|
||||
- Digests and kills foreign matter which is then excreted
|
||||
- Digests and breaks down old and unused material to be recycled
|
||||
- Digests and breaks down old or non-functional organelles as needed
|
||||
- Only plays a very minor role in cell suicide (apoptosis)
|
||||
- If lysosome does rupture (accidentally) everything dies
|
||||
|
||||
## Mitochondrion
|
||||
- **Plural is "mitochondria"**
|
||||
- Contains an inner and outer membrane
|
||||
- Processes glucose + oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide + adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
