Question
How are proteins normally transported into the mitochondrial matrix, if they were originally synthesized on ribosomes present in the cytosol (not on the rough endoplasmic reticulum)?
- they are packaged into vesicles with v-SNARES for fusion with their target organelles
- they can pass freely through large pores in the inner mitochondrial membrane
- they are secreted by the golgi, captured by receptors, and absorbed by endosomes
- they must pass through the nuclear envelope by means of nuclear pores
- they are unfolded in the translocation channel, then refolded by chaperones

- What is the significance of the protein-lined pits? O Protein attracts other proteins needed for ATP synthesis within the cell. Protein-lined pits are able to transport one molecule at a time down the concentration gradient within the cell. The polarity of proteins allows other polar molecules to attach and be transported in the cell by transport channels. Receptors within the pits allow ligands to fuse and be transported into the cell by endocytosis.arrow_forwardExplain briefly how proteins synthesized in the cytosol get into mitochondrial matrix.arrow_forwardCardiac muscle cells undergo a great deal of physical stress during contraction in order to pump blood throughout your body.
