2.  What is the endomembrane system? ◦ A network of membranous organelles that partition the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells into functional compartments. Some organelles are structurally connected to each other (Nucleus to Rough ER and Smooth ER), whereas others are structurally separated but are functionally connected by the traffic of membranous vesicles that travel between them (ER to Golgi to Lysosomes/Vesicles).  What organelles are involved? ◦ Nucleus, ER, Golgi Apparatus, Lysosomes, & Vesicles

3.  Explain the difference between the structural and functional connections within the endomembrane system. ◦ If organelles are not structurally connected then a transport vesicle is required to move the contents of one organelle to the next for the contents to be further processed. Each organelle plays a role in modify the product. ◦ Connections – physical or by vesicle – allow the cell to be efficient in producing cell products either for use in the cell or for export out of the cell.

5.  What surrounds a plant cell? ◦ Plant cells have cell walls. The cell walls may have multiple layers:  Primary cell wall: relatively thin and flexible  Middle lamella: thin layer between primary walls of adjacent cells  Secondary cell wall (in some cells): added between the plasma membrane and the primary cell wall  How do plant cells communicate (cell to cell)? ◦ Plasmodesmata are channels between adjacent plant cells that allow for cell to cell communication

7.  Animals cells don’t have cells walls – so what do they have outside their cell membranes? ◦ Animal cells lack cell walls but are covered by an elaborate extracellular matrix (ECM) ◦ The ECM is made up of glycoproteins such as collagen, proteoglycans, and fibronectin ◦ ECM proteins bind to receptor proteins in the plasma membrane called integrins ◦ Functions of the ECM include: Support, Adhesion, Movement, and Regulation

9.  How do animal cells communicate (cell to cell) and stick together? ◦ At tight junctions, membranes of neighboring cells are pressed together, preventing leakage of extracellular fluid ◦ Desmosomes (anchoring junctions) fasten cells together into strong sheets ◦ Gap junctions (communicating junctions) provide cytoplasmic channels between adjacent cells

11.  Which organelles produce cell products? ◦ Nucleus, Ribosomes, ER, Golgi Apparatus  Which organelles breakdown materials? ◦ Lysosomes, Vacuoles, Peroxisomes  Which organelles produce energy? ◦ Chloroplast & Mitochondria  Which organelles are involved in support, movement, and communication? ◦ Cytoskeleton, Cell Walls, Extracellular Matrix, & Cell Junctions

12. Fig. 6-UN1a Cell Component Structure Function Concept 6.3 The eukaryotic cell’s genetic instructions are housed in the nucleus and carried out by the ribosomes Nucleus Surrounded by nuclear envelope (double membrane) perforated by nuclear pores. The nuclear envelope is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). (ER) Houses chromosomes, made of chromatin (DNA, the genetic material, and proteins); contains nucleoli, where ribosomal subunits are made. Pores regulate entry and exit os materials. Ribosome Two subunits made of ribo- somal RNA and proteins; can be free in cytosol or bound to ER Protein synthesis

Smooth ER: synthesis of lipids, metabolism of carbohy- drates, Ca 2+ storage, detoxifica- tion of drugs and poisons Rough ER: Aids in sythesis of secretory and other proteins from bound ribosomes; adds carbohydrates to glycoproteins; produces new membrane Modification of proteins, carbo- hydrates on proteins, and phos- pholipids; synthesis of many polysaccharides; sorting of Golgi products, which are then released in vesicles. Breakdown of ingested sub- stances cell macromolecules, and damaged organelles for recycling Digestion, storage, waste disposal, water balance, cell growth, and protection
