organelles move along microtubules like a _____. microtubules are needed for the cell to ___ ___.
|
monorail
change shape |
|
tubuin
|
globular prtein that make microtubules
|
|
microvilli
|
small finger like projections of the cell membrane. increase cells surface area
|
|
centrioles
|
paired organelles of cylindrical structure made of microtubules. necessary for cell division. not in cells that do not duplicate.
|
|
centrosome
|
cytoplasm surrounding the centrioles. the center of the cytoskeleton where microtubules originate and radiate from during nuclear division.
|
|
cilia
|
hair like cellular extentions. beat rhythmically in a coordinated action.
|
|
flagella
|
long tail like made of microtubules. uses a corkscrew whip like motion
|
|
ribosomes
|
manufacture proteins. 60% RNA 40% protein
|
|
free ribosomes
|
not bound to ER. manufacture proteins for the cytosol
|
|
fixed ribosomes
|
bound to the ER to make rough ER. proteins made here enter the ER where they are modified and packaged for secretion.
|
|
proteosomes
|
recycling center. contain proteases. if a cytoplasmic protein has the "recycle tag" ubiquitin then it is digested and reused for new proteins.
|
|
cisternae
|
tubular chamber in ER and golgi apparatus
|
|
smooth ER
|
no ribosomes attached. synthesizes lipids and carbohydrates. detoxifies drugs and toxins in liver and kidney cells.
|
|
rough ER
|
ribosomes attach to RER and send synthesized protein into cisternae. they are then processed into secondary and tertiary structures.
|
|
golgi apparatus
|
gets modified and packaged products to where they are supposed to be. "FedEx" organelles.
|
|
transport vessicles
|
come from ER and contain products to be further modified by the golgi apparatus
|
|
forming face
|
side of the golgi apparatus that faces the ER and receives transport vesicles.
|
|
maturing face
|
side of the golgi apparatus that faces the cell membrane
|
|
secretory vesicles
|
contain contents that are to be secreted. pinch off the maturing face of the golgi apparatus and bind to the cell membrane to expell contents.
|
|
primary lysosomes
|
vesicles from the golgi apparatus that contain inactive enzymes.
|
|
3 functions of the golgi apparatus
|
1. modify, package, and transport secretions
2. renews or modifies cell membrane 3. packages special enzymes within vesicles for use in cytosol. |
|
functions of the ER can include
|
1. synthesis
2. storage 3. transport 4. detoxification |
|
lysosomes
|
digestive enzyme filled vesicles from the golgi apparatus that clean up and recycle materials for the cell. kill bacteria and clean up old or damaged organelles. "demolition crew"
|
|
secondary lysosome
|
the product of a primary lysosome fused with a damaged organelle. enzymes of primary lisosomes become activated.
|
|
autolysis
|
lysosomes destroy the organelles and proteins of the cell.
|
|

|
|
Lysosomol storage diseases
|
patient lacks a specific lysosomal enzyme this causes a build-up of materials normally digested
|

|
example of lysosomol storage disease. Inability to break down glycolipids
|
|
peroxisomes
|
come from sub-division of existing peroxisomes, are smaller than lysosomes
|
