What is the sequence of protein production?
• Proteins made at ribosomes. • The ribosomes on the RER make proteins that are excreted/attached to the cell membrane. • New proteins produced at the Rough ER are folded and processed in the Rough ER. • Then they’re transported from the ER to the Golgi apparatus in the vesicles. • At the Golgi apparatus, the proteins may undergo further processing. • Proteins enter more vesicles to be transported around the cell.
Structure of plasma.
-Found on surface of animal cells. -Found inside cell wall of plant cells -Made of lipids and proteins.
Function of plasma.
-Regulates movement of substances into and out of the cell. -Has receptor molecules on it, which allow it to respond to chemical like hormones.
Structure of cell wall.
-Rigid structure that surrounds plant cells. -Made if carbohydrate cellulose.
Function of cell wall.
Supports plant cells.
Structure of nucleus.
-Large organelle surrounded by a nuclear envelope (double membrane), contains many nucleolus. -Contains chromatin and Structure called the nucleolus.
Function of nucleus.
-Controls cells activities. -DNS contains instructs to make proteins. -Pores allow substances to move between nucleolus and the cytoplasm. -Nucleolus makes ribosomes.
Structure of lysosome.
-Round organelle surrounded by a membrane, with no clear internal structure.
Function of lysosome.
-Contains digestive enzymes. -These are kept separate from cytoplasm by surrounding membrane, and can be used to digest invading skin irritation to break down worn out components of cell.
Structure of ribosome.
-Very small organelle that either floats free in the cytoplasm or is attached to the RER. -Made up if proteins and RNA. -Not surrounded by a membrane.
Function of ribosome.
-Site where proteins are made.
Structure of Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.
-System of membranes enclosing a fluid-filled space. -Surface is covered with ribosomes.
Function of Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.
-Folds and processed proteins that have been made at the ribosomes.
Structure of Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum.
-Similar to RER but with no ribosomes.
Function of Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum.
-Synthesises and processes lipids.
Structure of Vesicle.
-Small fluid-filled sac in the cytoplasm, surrounded by a membrane.
Function of Vesicle.
-Transports substances in and out of the cell. -Some are formed by the Golgi apparatus or the Endoplasmic reticulum, while others are formed at the cell surface.
Structure of Golgi apparatus.
-A group of fluid-filled membrane-bound, flattened sacs. - Vesicles are often seen at the edges of the sacs.
Function of Golgi apparatus.
-Processes and packages new lipids and proteins. -It also makes lysosomes.
Structure of Mitochondrion.
-Often oval-shaped. -Double membrane. -Inner folded to form structures called cristae. -Inside is the matrix, which contains enzymes involved in respiration.
Function of mitochondrion.
-Site of aerobic respiration where ATP is produced. -Found in large numbers in cells that are very active and require a lot of energy.
Structure of chloroplast.
-Small, flattened structure found in plant cells. -Surrounded by a double membrane. -Has membranes inside called thylakoid membranes. -These membranes are stacked up in some grana. -Grana are linked together by lamellae-thin flat pieces of thylakoid membranes.
Function of chloroplast.
-Site where photosynthesis takes place. -Some parts of photosynthesis happen in the grana, and other parts happen in the stroma. -Stroma is a thick fluid found in chloroplast.
Structure of centriole.
-Small, hollow cylinders. -Made of microtubules. -Found in animal cells, but only some plant cells.
