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 is the function of Peripheral membrane proteins?arrow_forwardWhat type of plasma membrane protein provides the means for moving materials across the plasma membrane? What are three subtypes?arrow_forwardMicrotubules 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_forward
- What are Peripheral membrane proteins?arrow_forwardWhat causes the bumpy appearance of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?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_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_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_forwardWhat are the four classifications of membrane proteins? How is each positioned with respect to the bilayer?arrow_forward
