Document Summary

Lecture 7 (structure and compartmentation in eukaryotic cells) Eukaryotic cell consists of endomembrane system, which includes the nuclear envelope, the endoplasmic reticulum, the golgi apparatus, lysosomes, various kinds of vesicles and vacuoles, and the plasma membrane. Endoplasmic reticulum (er) is such an extensive network of membranes that it accounts for more. Than half the total membrane in many eukaryotic cells. Endoplasmic reticulum consists of: smooth endoplasmic reticulum and rough. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not consist of ribosomes in its surface. These processes include synthesis of lipids, metabolism of carbohydrates, detoxification of drugs and poisons, and storage of calcium ions. Rough endoplasmic reticulum is studded with ribosomes on the outer surface of the membrane and thus appears rough through the electron microscope. These process aids in the production of secretory protein, er is a membrane factory of the cell; it grows in place by adding membrane proteins and phospholipids to its own membrane.
