Document Summary
Eukaryoic cells contain a large number of parts. Membrane bound structures dedicated to a paricular funcion. We therefore extracted only about 10,000 specimens of aequorea in the summer of. Many diferent creatures have been labeled with gfp. Organelle a membrane bound compartment with a characterisic content and a speciic funcion. Compartment separate secion or part of something; an area in which something can be considered in isolaion from other things. What does a compartment achieve: compartmentalizes, sequesters. Divides a whole into separate parts or secions. How is a compartment formed: the boundary, the contents. Amphipathic having both hydrophobic (non-polar) and hydrophilic (polar) regions. Membrane luidity is determined by: nature of lipids in membrane. Membrane luidity is crucial to cell funcion: balance between ordered (rigid) structure and disordered structure allows: Dynamic interacions between membrane components (ex. proteins can come together reversibly)
