1
New cards

Enzymes

present in the Golgi lumen modify the carbohydrate portion of glycoproteins by adding or subtracting individual sugar monomers.

2
New cards

Endoplasmic reticulum

(ER): a system of membranous channels and saccules.

3
New cards

Ribosome assembly

occurs in the nucleolus.

4
New cards

Chromosomes

: composed of DNA and proteins= chromatin.

5
New cards

Perinuclear space

: continuous with ER lumen.

6
New cards

endomembrane system

The regulates protein traffic and performs metabolic functions in the cell.

7
New cards

Nuclear matrix

: filamentous network; organizes chromosomes.

8
New cards

Smooth ER

: synthesize lipids; metabolizes carbohydrates; detoxifies poison; stores calcium (Sarcoplasmic reticulum)

9
New cards

H2O + O2

Catalase then converts H2O2 into .

10
New cards

Golgi

The modifies proteins and lipids that arrive from the endoplasmic reticulum.

11
New cards

Rough ER

: studded with ribosomes and is the site of protein synthesis and processing.

12
New cards

Chromosomes

composed of DNA and proteins = chromatin

13
New cards

Nuclear matrix

filamentous network; organizes chromosomes

14
New cards

Inner nuclear membrane

specific proteins that act as binding sites for chromatin and for the nuclear lamina

15
New cards

Outer nuclear membrane

continuous with ER membrane; studded with ribosomes

16
New cards

Perinuclear space

continuous with ER lumen

17
New cards

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

a system of membranous channels and saccules

18
New cards

Rough ER

studded with ribosomes and is the site of protein synthesis and processing

19
New cards

Smooth ER

synthesize lipids; metabolizes carbohydrates; detoxifies poison; stores calcium (Sarcoplasmic reticulum)

20
New cards

Cis face

receiver (of vesicles)

21
New cards

Trans face

shipper (of vesicles)

22
New cards

Components of the endomembrane system

Nuclear envelope
Endoplasmic reticulum
Golgi apparatus
Lysosomes
Vacuoles
Plasma membrane

23
New cards

Lysosomes

Spherical organelles containing a single layer membrane
Contain hydrolytic enzymes
Involved in enzymatic breakdown of macromolecules and organelles

24
New cards

Peroxisomes contain

oxidative enzymes which remove hydrogens from specific substrates that in turn produces H2O2
