Document Summary

Module 3- the human cell: golgi apparatus: responsible for the packaging of proteins from the. Rough er to membrane bound vesicles (i. e. liaison between the two). The golgi produces two types of vesicles: secretory vesicles , which transport proteins to the membrane for release into the extracellular matrix. Storage vesicles: contents are stored within the cell (e. g. lysosomes). 2: secretory vesicles: produced by the golgi and used to transport proteins outside the cell for use in the body. When a cell releases proteins through the membrane to the outside environment, it is called secretion: free ribosomes: found in the cytosol and composed of rna and protein. Often found in multiple group called polyribosomes (to translate multiple rna at once): lysosome: a type of storage vesicle produced by the golgi. Often referred to as the digestive system of the cell, they contain enzymes that destroy damaged organelles, kill bacteria and break down biomolecules: mitochondrion: the powerhouse where atp is generated.
