Document Summary

Membrane proteins for the endomembrane system and proteins for secretion are made in the rough er by ribosomes docked to channels in the er membrane, but in an unfinished form. The newly synthesized proteins in the rer membrane or lumen move to the smooth er, where they are partially glycosylated (oligosaccharide groups are covalently bonded to particular amino acids). Membrane lipids (phospholipids, sterols) are also made in and added to the smooth er. Transport vesicles containing membrane proteins and secreted proteins bud from the smooth er and travel to the golgi. These vesicles fuse with the golgi, adding their membrane lipids and membrane proteins, as well as their internal contents, to the golgi vesicles. In the golgi, the membrane proteins and secreted proteins are sorted and processed via additional glycosylation. Lysosomal proteins are segregated to vesicles that pinch off and become lysosomes. Explain how the 2nd law of thermodynamics applies to living organisms.
