Flattened membrane discs, packaging.
Adjacent plasma membranes bound by bands of interlocking proteins.
Packaging of materials for import into cell.
RNA (ribonucleic acid) and protein; protein synthesis.

Embedded in the plasma membrane.
Internal protein framework in the cytoplasm.
Introduction:
Cells may differ in the organelle composition. Organelles are the structures that perform several functions in the cell. They are important for several cellular functions. Organelles are classified into membranous and nonmembranous organelles. Some of the organelles found in the cells are lysosomes, ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and others.

Human Anatomy (8th Edition) - Standalone book
- The fundamental bilayered structure of the plasma membrane is determined almost exclusively by (a) phospholipid molecules, (b) peripheral proteins, (c) cholesterol molecules, (d) integral proteins.arrow_forwardMuscle cells differ from nerve cells mainly because they(A) express different genes.(B) contain different genes.(C) use different genetic codes.(D) have unique ribosomes.arrow_forwardBeginning with protein synthesis in membrane-bound ribosomes, hepatocytes secrete proteins into the circulation via which of the following mechanisms? (A) Active transport through the cell membrane (B) Diffusion through the cell membrane (C) Transport by microtubules and exocytosis (D) Transport in vesicles and exocytosis (E) Transport through pores in the cell membranearrow_forward
- If a solute to be transported across the plasma membrane is a much larger molecule than an ion or glucose and more like a biopolymer or a dangerous digestive enzyme or a drop of proteins, cells use a completely different type of transport mechanism called ……………………………arrow_forwardDiffusion is important in body fluids because this process tends to:(a) increase local concentration gradients. (b) eliminate local concentration gradients. (c) move substances against their concentration gradients. (d) create concentration gradients.arrow_forwardThe cell marked with the blue dot synthesizes and secretes which of the following: Choose one from the following: (A) serotonin (B) immunoglobulin A (C) interleukin-1 (D) perforins and granzymes (E) interleukin-2arrow_forward
- a) Give the two main membrane proteins.b) State a function each of the mentioned protins. c) Explain why change in pH can affect the function of the proteins.arrow_forwardCancer cells can eventually metastasize (or spread) from their tissue of organ to distant sites throughout the body. Which of the three types of cytoskeletal components could be used to detect the tissue of organ of a metastatic cancer cell? Why? (For example, if you took a biopsy of a tumor that had spread to the lungs, how could use what you know about the cytoskeleton to determine where the cancer originated? )arrow_forwardBiopsies from aggressive cancers often have cells that contain several nuclei per cell when viewed through a microscope. Which scenario could explain how such a multinucleated cell might have come to be? (a) The cell underwent repeated mitosis with simultaneous cytokinesis. (b) The cell had multiple S phases before it entered mitosis. (c) The cell underwent repeated mitosis, but cytokinesis did not occur. (d) The cell underwent repeated cytokinesis but no mitosis. (e) The cell actually went through meiosis and not mitosis.arrow_forward
- A.......... is the condensed, visible form of chromatin.arrow_forwardQ49arrow_forwardAnswer the following question correctly as multiple choice answer (1)Transportation within the cells, mainly between Nucleus and cytoplasm is done by-(a)Vacuole(b)Golgi-body(c)Endoplasmic Reticulum (d)Lysosome. (2) Secretion of hormones and enzymes within the cell is made by - (a)Ribosome(b)Golgi body(c)Endoplasmic Reticulum(d)Centriole.arrow_forward
