Are the major site of protein synthesis?
Ribosomes, which can either be attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum or free floating in the cytoplasm.
What are the 3 main parts of a eukaryotic cell?
The three major components of a eukaryotic cell are - true membrane bound nucleus membrane bound organelles like endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, golgi apparatus cytoskeleton
How do the endoplasmic reticulum and cell membrane work together?
The ER, does not only play a major role in creating protiens, but also helps transport proitiens to the cell membrane. Here they can then leave the cell if needed.
The major role of the sarcoplasmic reticulum is to regulate?
intracellular levels of Ca2+
Where is ribosomes found in?
There are two places that ribosomes usually exist in the cell: suspended in the cytosol and bound to theendoplasmic reticulum. These ribosomes are called free ribosomes and bound ribosomes respectively. In both cases, the ribosomes usually form aggregates called polysomes.
What is the function endoplasmic reticulum?
There are two types of ERs--smooth and rough. The smooth ER has a lot of functions, but the major one is the production of lipids. The rough ER's major function is the synthesis of proteins from ribosomes that are studded around it :)
What are the major parts of an animal cell?
The ribosomes, golgi apparatus, plasma membrane, mitochondrion, cytoskeleton, peroxisome, the rough endoplasmic reticulum, the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, and the nucleus.
How do smoothe endoplasmic reticulum function?
Engage in detoxification in liver and Hormone deactivation.Also build up peroxisomes and glyoxisomes.
What is an animal cell's structures?
Animal cells have many different structures. However, the major ones are: Nucleus Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Apparatus Mitochondria Ribosomes Lysosomes Cytoskeleton Vacuoles
Are the major site of protein synthesis?
Ribosomes, which can either be attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum or free floating in the cytoplasm.
What are the major organelles in a Eukaryota cell?
Nucleus, Nucleolus, Mitochondria, Golgi Apparatus, Smooth and Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum, Vacuole and Lysosomes.
What are the major structures in the cell?
The nucleus where DNA is stored, the mitochondria where energy is produced in the form of ATP, the endoplasmic reticulum which is involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids, the Golgi apparatus, which modifies proteins made in the endoplasmic reticulum such as adding carbohydrate to the protein to form a glycoprotein and there are lysosomes, these contain enzymes which degrade materials.
What are the 3 main parts of a eukaryotic cell?
The three major components of a eukaryotic cell are - true membrane bound nucleus membrane bound organelles like endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, golgi apparatus cytoskeleton
In eukaryotic cells vesicles connect which of the two major organelle compartments?
Vesicles are always traveling from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi body carrying proteins for further modification.
What are the function of endoplasmatic reticulum?
To carry essential substances from one part of the cell to another and provide a little rigidity to the cell. Basically, the modification of proteins and their shipping to the various parts of the cell and outside the cell in the rough ER. And the smooth ER has to do with the modification of lipids ANSWER Rough endoplasmic reticulum functions as; -protein translocation, folding and transport of protein; -glycosylation (this is the relation of a saccharides group with a hydroxyl or amino functional group to form a glucoside); -disulfide bond formation (disulfide bonds stabilize the tertiary and quaternary structures of many proteins); -membrane synthesis. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum functions as; -synthesis of lipid -metabolism of carbohydrates; -detoxification function; -major storage and released site of inter cellular calcium ions
Is the endoplasmic reticulum an organelle?
Yes, the rough endoplasmic reticulum produces secretory proteins also known as enzymes. Secretory proteins means that these proteins are made for secretion or delivery outside the cell and into the body.
What are the major organelles in a cell?
nucleas nucleolus mitochondria cell membrane cell wall (only found in plant cells) large vacuoles (only found in plant cells, smaller vacuoles are found in animal cells) chloroplasts (only found in plant cells) ribosomes Endoplasmic reticulum--rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum Golgi complex lysosomes plastids vesicles mesosomes cytosol vacuoles cytoskeleton centriole (only found in animal cells)
