Concept explainers
To determine: The anatomical differences between smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Introduction: Endoplasmic reticulum abbreviated as ER is a net-like structure of tubules. It manufactures proteins and lipids. These proteins and lipids are first stored and then transported to different parts of the cell depending upon the requirement. It also plays a major role in membrane biogenesis by providing proteins and lipids for the formation of the cell membrane.
To determine: The functional differences between smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Introduction: Endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for manufacturing essential

- What are the three major types of protein fibers in the extracellular matrix? Describe briefly.arrow_forwardDuring a microscopy exercise in the anatomy laboratory,a student makes the following observations about a tissuesection: (1) The section contains some different types ofscattered protein fibers—that is, they exhibit differentwidths, some are branched, some are long and unbranched,and their staining characteristics differ (some are seenonly with specific stains). (2) Several cell types withdifferent morphologies are scattered throughout the section,but these cells are not grouped tightly together. (3) Theexamined section has some “open spaces”—that is, placesbetween cells and the observed fibers in the section thatappear clear with no recognizable features. What type oftissue is the student observing? Where might this tissue befound in the body?arrow_forwardWhat type of plasma membrane protein provides the means for moving materials across the plasma membrane? What are three subtypes?arrow_forward
- Microtubules are polar filaments; that is, one end is different from the other. What is the basis for this polarity, how is polarity related to microtubule organization within the cell, and how is polarity related to the intracellular movements powered by microtubule-dependent motors?arrow_forwarda) Are actin filaments subject to the same "dynamic instability" as microtubules? Yes or no? b)Explain how both actin and microtubules polymerize and depolymerize.arrow_forwarda) 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_forward
- What are the four classifications of membrane proteins? How is each positioned with respect to the bilayer?arrow_forwardWhat does lysosome contain?arrow_forwardIdentify the false statement about lysosomes. (a) They have the same structure and function as peroxisomes. (b) They form by budding off the Golgi apparatus. (c) Lysosomal enzymes do not occur freely in the cytosol in healthy cells. (d) They are abundant in phagocytic cells.arrow_forward
- What is the structure of the endoplasmic reticulum and functionarrow_forwardIn the cell there are three types of filaments that form the cell skeleton. Answer:a)Which they are.b)How they are constructed.c)What their function is.arrow_forwardIn some eukaryote organisms, myocytes are a type of stem cell that become Muscle cells. These cells filled with a protein called myosin. Such cell products are stored in cell structures that are formed from: A) the nucleus, B) from the smooth ER as vesicles, C) are engulfed into the cell by phagocytosis, D) are released from the cell by the process of Exocytosis, E) the lysosomes.arrow_forward
