The endomembrane system is made up of different membranes that are suspended in the cytoplasm within a cell. These membranes divide the cell into functional and structural compartments, or organelles. The endomembrane system has three major components; the plasma membrane, Golgi apparatus, and vesicles. The plasma membrane surrounds the outside of the cell. It is made up of a double layer of phospholipids and controls the movement of various substances into and out of the cell, both passively and actively. The plasma membrane separates the inside of the cell from the outside; it is consisted of a phospholipid bilayer. This bilayer is a double membrane made up of hydrophobic tails and a hydrophilic heads. The function of the Golgi apparatus is to modify, sort, and package proteins, lipids and other materials from the Cellular endoplasmic reticulum for storage within the Cell and for exporting to the exterior of the Cell. The vesicles are small compartments that are involved in the exporting and importing of material in, out, and within the cell.…
It enables communication between the cell membrane, the nucleus and the environment. Carries ribosomes that are responsible for the production of proteins (rough). Synthesis lipids from fatty acids and glycerol and transports these to the Golgi body (smooth).…
The mitochondria is the site of ATP production for the cell. ATP is the energy currency of the cell. Mitochondria are nicknamed, the "powerhouse".…
C. Which intracellular organelles have membranes as part of their structure? All intracellular organelles have membranes as part of their structure except ribosomes. How would the breakdown of the membranes of these structures affect the function of Joseph’s heart cells? The breakdown of the membranes of these structures affect the heart’s function by causing calcium ATPase to cease moving calcium from the cytosol into the endoplasmic reticulum of Joseph’s cardiac muscle cells. The rise of calcium levels causes proteases to spill into the cell which attacks the cytoskeleton.…
■■Large or hydrophilic molecules need to be transported across the membrane with the help of membrane proteins. ■■Facilitated diffusion is transport down a concentration gradient; it does not require energy. Active transport is transport up a concentration gradient; it requires energy. 56 3620001C03.indd 56 ■■All cells have ribosomes, complexes of RNA and proteins that synthesize new proteins. ■■Despite their common function, the structure of prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes differs.…

2. C. Every intracellular organelle has membranes that are included in its structure. The lack of ATPases had stopped moving calcium from the cytosol into the ER of the cardiac muscle. Lysosomal enzymes began to digest the plasma membrane and membranes of the organelles. Not having a membrane will cause the intracellular calcium levels rise, and cause proteases to spill into the interior of the cell attacking the cytosol.…

This is a practice test for biology 101 test 2. You should also review all lectures and practice writing questions for each lecture set. You will also want to take advantage of the test banks under the “Lessons” tab in Angel. In addition to these sample questions and the test banks, you are advised to study the diagrams from all chapters and be able to label main structures.…

1. Nuc stand for nucleus. The nucleus controls and helps regulate most of the actions that take place within the cell. Flag stands for the flagella. The flagella extend from the plasma membrane and help the cell move through liquid. ER stand for the endoplasmic reticulum. There are two different types of endoplasmic reticulum in each cell; the smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum. They both have separate functions; the smooth endoplasmic reticulum processes lipids, and the rough endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes and modifies proteins. Mito stands for the mitochondrion. The mitochondrion provides needed energy for the cell. Chlora stands for the chloroplast. The chloroplast absorbs energy from the sunlight to create energy and food for the…
Ribosomes, which consist of rRNA and proteins, synthesize proteins. Ribosomes are not considered organelles because ribosomes are not bound to membranes. Some ribosomes stud the rough endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope, and thus are considered to be bound ribosomes; others are free ribosomes that are suspended within cytosol. Free ribosomes synthesize proteins that function suspended in cytosol. Bound ribosomes produce proteins that will inevitably be inserted in a membrane. Ribosomes are most plentiful in cells that synthesize an abundance of proteins. The pancreas, an organ where the production of enzymes are a commonplace, contains a plethora of ribosomes.…
