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.

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.

Vesicles move between the stacks while the proteins are "processed" to a mature form.

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

Page 24: 1 Biochemistry Biolog. Nanostructures Chemistry of biological Nanostructures:

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

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.
