Secretory vesicles (destined for exocytosis) that fuse with the plasma membrane continuously, with no requirement for hormones or any other environmental signal, are properly referred to as: the v-SNARES constitutive secretory vesicles (like those that carry lipids, such as phosphatidylcholine) the endosomes regulated secretory vesicles (like those that carry hormones, such as insulin) the t-SNARES
In receptor-mediated endocytosis, each of the following could be a fate for the receptors and/or vesicle contents except recycling to the plasma membrane digestion in a lysosome. All are possible fates. release from the vesicle into the peroxisome. transcytosis.
Which of the following statements about secretion is true? O All secretory vesicles bud off the trans Golgi network and fuse with the plasma membrane continuously without any regulation. O In regulated secretion, the secretory vesicles containing secreted materials are preformed and positioned close to the plasma membrane. This allows the rapid release of a large amount of cargo in a very short period when the cell receives the right signal. O The release of insulin is a form of constitutive secretion. O None of the above
Microtubules are important for transporting cargo in nerve cell axons, as diagrammed in Figure Q17- 33. Notice that the two types of cargo are traveling in opposite directions. Which of the following statements is likely to be false? cell body microtubule axon Figure Q17-33 inward transport axon terminal The black cargo and the gray cargo require ATP hydrolysis for their motion. The gray cargo is attached to dynein. outward transport The black cargo and the gray cargo are moving along microtubules of opposite polarity. The black cargo moving toward the axon terminal contains a domain that specifically interacts with the tail domain of a particular kind of motor.
Glucose diffuses slowly through artificial phospholipid bilayers. The cells lining the small intestine, however, rapidly move large quantities of glucose from the glucose-rich food into their glucose-poor cytoplasm. Using this information, which transport mechanism is most probably functioning in the intestinal cells? exоcytosis simple diffusion O phagocytosis facilitated diffusion active transport pumps
IN the figure for D: The organization of a protein that normally resides in the plasma membrane in shown in the figure below. The boxes labeled 1,2 3 and 4 represent membrane-spanning sequences and the arrow represents a site of action of signal peptidase. Given this diagram, which of the following statements must be true? (C) (D) oplasmic Reticulum The N-terminus of this protein is in the ER lumen The mature version of this protein will span the membrane twice, with both the N- and C-terminus in the cytoplasm. Two of the answers are correct The C-terminus of this protein is in the ER lumen
Secretory vesicles fuse with the cell membrane to release their contents to the outside of the cell. In this process, the membrane of the secretory vesicle becomes part of the cell membrane because small pieces of the membrane are continually added to the cell membrane, one would expect the cell membrane to become larger and larger as secretion continues. The cell membrane stays the same size, however. Explain how this happens.
Which statement is not true of endoplasmic reticulum? There is smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum It is found in all living cells. Rough ER has ribosomoes bound to it. Proteins are transported and modified within it Proteins cam be targeted for ER transportation
Cytochalasin D inhibits the formation of microfilaments. Which of the following biological activities will be affected? Select all that apply. Formation of nuclear lamin network Formation of cleavage furrow in telophase U Cytosolic transport of secretory vesicles Movement of phagocytic cells
Which of the following membrane components is found in the greatest abundance on the inner leaflet of eukaryotic vesicles produced for secretion by the Golgi apparatus? phosphatidylethanolamine phosphatidylinositol phosphatidylcholine phosphatidylserine cholesterol
Which is the definition of 'retrograde' with respect to membrane trafficking? movement from the endosome to the lysosome movement from the ER to the Golgi to either the plasma membrane or the endosome/lysosome movement from the cytoplasm to the nucleus movement from the Golgi to the ER
Neurons have long thin processes called axons, structuresspecialized for conducting signals throughout the organism’s nervous system. Some axonal processes can be as long as 2 m—for example, the axons that originate in your spinal cord and terminate in the muscles of your toes. Small membrane-enclosed vesicles carrying materials essential to axonal function move along microtubules of the cytoskeleton, from the cell body to the tips of the axons. If the average velocity of a vesicle is 1 μm/s, how long does it take a vesicle to move from a cell body in the spinal cord to the axonal tip in the toes?
