.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)A network of interconnected membranes forming channels within the cell. Covered with ribosomes (causing the "rough" appearance) which are in the process of synthesizing proteins for secretion or localization in membranes.RibosomesProtein and RNA complex responsible for protein synthesis
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)A network of interconnected membranes forming channels within the cell. A site for synthesis and metabolism of lipids. Also contains enzymes for detoxifying chemicals including drugs and pesticides.

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)A network of interconnected membranes forming channels within the cell. A site for synthesis and metabolism of lipids. Also contains enzymes for detoxifying chemicals including drugs and pesticides.
Golgi apparatusA series of stacked membranes. Vesicles (small membrane surrounded bags) carry materials from the RER to the Golgi apparatus. Vesicles move between the stacks while the proteins are "processed" to a mature form. Vesicles then carry newly formed membrane and secreted proteins to their final destinations including secretion or membrane localization.
20
21
Golgi:
-> processes membrane and secreted proteins (glycosylation)
-> protein sorting (membrane + secreted + transport to different organelles)cis-Golgi, medial-Golgi, trans-Golgi
Secretory pathway:Vesicles transporting proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum fuse with the cis-Golgi and subsequently progress through the stack to the trans-Golgi via vesicles.

A membrane bound organelle that is responsible for degrading proteins and membranes in the cell, and also helps degrade materials ingested by the cell. 23
Structures that participate in delivering material to lysosomes:
Endocytosis is a process whereby cells absorb material (molecules or other cells) from outside by engulfing it with their cell membranes. It is used by cells because most substances important to them are polar and consist of big molecules, and thus cannot pass through the highly hydrophobic plasma membrane. Endocytosis is the opposite of exocytosis, and always involves the formation of a vesicle from part of the cell membrane.Phagocytosis (literally, cell-eating) is the process by which cells ingest large objects, such as prey cells or large chunks of dead organic matter. The membrane folds around the material, and vesicles are sealed off into large vacuoles. Lysosomes then merge with the vacuoles, turning them into a digestive chamber. The products of the digestion are then released into the cytosol. Macrophages are cells of the immune system that specialize in the destruction of antigens (bacteria, viruses and other foreign particles) by phagocytosis. Autophagy, or autophagocytosis, is a process of organelle degradation that takes place inside the cell. It is executed by lysosomes and is part of everyday normal cell growth and development. Its main purpose is to maintain a balance between biogenesis (production) of cell structures, and their degradation and turnover. For example, a liver-cell mitochondrion lasts around ten days before it is degraded and its contents are reused. 24
Lysosomes: -> trash bin of the cell !!!
-> acid organelle, contains degrading enzymesEnzymes: nuceases, hydrolases, proteases, phosphatasesInvolved in uptake of material (endocytosis, phagocytosis) and degradation of organelles (autophagocytosis)

VacuolesMembrane surrounded "bags" that contain water and storage materials in plants.
25
Plant Vacuole:
26
-> storage of small molecules (water, ions, sucrose, amino acids)
-> up to 80 % of plant cell
VacuolesMembrane surrounded "bags" that contain water and storage materials in plants.
Peroxisomes or MicrobodiesProduce and degrade hydrogen peroxide, a toxic compound that can be produced during metabolism.
27
28
Peroxisomes:
-> contain oxidative enzymes, such as D-amino acid oxidase, ureate oxidase, and catalase.
-> resemble a lysosome
-> self replicating, like the mitochondria.
-> function to get rid of toxic substances like hydrogen peroxide, or other metabolites. They are a major site of oxygen utilization and are numerous in the liver where toxic byproducts are going to accumulate.
Diameter: 0.2 – 1 µm

Cell wallPlants have a rigid cell wall in addition to their cell membranes
Cytoplasmenclosed by the plasma membrane, liquid portion called cytosol and it houses the membranous organelles.
CytoskeletonArrays of protein filaments in the cytosol. Gives the cell its shape and provides basis for movement. E.g. microtubules and microfilaments.

Many Important Biomolecules are Polymers
• Biopolymers - macromolecules created by joining many smaller organic molecules (monomers)
• Condensation reactions join monomers (H2O is removed in the process)
• Residue - each monomer in a chain

Concepts of Life
Life is characterized by
• Biological diversity: lichen, microbes, jellyfish, sequoias, hummingbirds, manta
rays, gila monsters, & you
• Chemical unity: living systems (on earth) obey the rules of physical and organic chemistry – there are no new principles
51
Life needs 3 things:
(1) ENERGY, which it must know how to:
• Extract• Transform• Utilize
52
The Energetics of Life
•Photosynthetic organisms capture sunlight energy and use it to synthesize organic compounds
•Organic compounds provide energy for all organisms
Using toxic O2 to generate energy
2 H2O O2 + 4e- + 4H+ (photosynthesis)
Glucose + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy
53
Glycolysis: the preferred way for the formation of ATP
54
55
Life needs (2) SIMPLE MOLECULES, which it must know how to:
• Convert• Polymerize• Degrade
56
Life needs (3) CHEMICAL MECHANISMS, to:
• Harness energy• Drive sequential chemical reactions• Synthesize & degrade macromolecules• Maintain a dynamic steady state• Self-assemble complex structures• Replicate accurately & efficiently• Maintain biochemical “order” vs outside
57
Trick #1: Life uses chemical coupling to drive otherwise unfavorable reactions
58
Trick #2: Life uses enzymes to speed up otherwise slow reactions
59
How does an enzyme do it, thermodynamically?

Summary of Key Concepts
Even though thousands of pathways sound very large and complex in a tiny cell:
• The types of pathways are small
• Mechanisms of biochemical pathways are simple
• Reactions of central importance (for energy production & synthesis and degradation of major cell components) are relatively few in number
