Cell Structure Written
Cell Structure Written
At outer layer: ribosomes here. Dna inside -> mRNA -> mRNAs move out of nuclear pore -> bind to
ribosomes -> move to rough ER (1)
At inner layer: proteins – Lamins control structure of cell envelope, bind to histone protein, DNAs,
control cell division
Nuclear pores: move things (carb/ pro….) in and out the nucleus
2 forms
Euchromatin: loose, expression of dna, transcribe dna -> more RNAs -> more in the center of nucleus
Rough ER = glycosylation (enzymes in ER add on sugar residues onto protein -> active)
Protein bud off becoming one of above mentioned proteins -> move to Golgi apparatus
Many enzymes on the surface + precursor for fatty acid…. -> Lipid synthesis site: fatty acid,
phospholipid, cholesterol -> those butt off -> Golgi apparatus / membranes
CYP450 enzymes: important for detoxification (liver has a lot. Toxins, alcohol, drugs to liver ->
biotransformation)
Sarcoplasmic reticulum: store calcium + several pumps on smooth ER pump calcium out to cytosol
Golgi apparatus: vesicles through the cis face, buds off at trans face
Modification (modify proteins a bit like protein modified like folding in rough ER)
Phosphorylation
Package molecules (lipid & protein in the vesicles) those may go to lysosome, membrane or excreted
Cell membrane: acts as barrier for simple diffusion/ Facilitated diffusion/ vesicular transport
Cholesterols: control fluidity. More cholesterols -> less space between phospholipids -> less fluidity
Proteins: integral pro & peripheral pro. may be transporters/ enzymes/ linker proteins
Lysosomes : spherical
Protease
Nucleases
Lipases
glucosidases
autolysis of damaged cells: lysosomes bust the enzymes out and start breaking down
Peroxisomes: spherical
Oxidase (4)
Metabolic enzymes
e.g: O2 -> (O2-- (superoxidehyde) -> H2O2 -> O.H. (hydroxal radical) -> dangerous radical can bind to
protein, nucleic acids, membranes. H2O2 likes to accumulate in peroxisomes because of fatty acid
metabolism. Catalase in peroxisoms + h2o2 -> h20
Fatty acid oxidation (by catalase) -> acetyl-coA molecules. 2 types
Ethanol metabolism
Mitochondria
