Document Summary

Prokaryotic cells are enclosed by a single membrane. Eukaryotic cells have multiple organelles enclosed by a membrane. Nucleus: surrounded by a nuclear envelope (double membrane, communicates with cytosol through nuclear pores, outer membrane is continuous with er. Peroxisomes: contains enzymes used in oxidative reactions that break down lipids. Mitochondria/ chloroplast: surrounded by a double membrane, sites of oxidative phosphorylation or photosynthesis. Membranes of the membrane enclosed organelles originated from the plasma membrane. Any protein synthesized in the cytosol depends on the amino acid sequence, sorting signal, to direct it to where it is required. No sorting sequence= remains in the cytosol. Signal sequence is removed from a protein once it has been sorted. Inner nuclear membrane contains proteins that are binding sites for chromosomes. Nuclear pores form gates that molecules can enter or leave the nucleus. Large molecules must have a nuclear localization sequence that is recognized by nuclear.
