What is being transported along the endoplasmic reticulum

Biology

Veseljchak [2.6K]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Proteins are being transported along the endoplasmic reticulum.

The endoplasmic reticulum is a membrane system within the cytoplasm. Apart from increasing the surface area within the cell, this continuous system also carries out protein folding, synthesis and transport.

Further Explanation:

Most proteins that function in the cytosol (such as actin) or in the nucleus (such as DNA polymerase) are synthesized by free ribosomes. Proteins that function within the endomembrane system (such as lysosomal enzymes) or those that are destined for secretion from the cell (such as insulin) are synthesized by bound ribosomes in the rough endoplasmic reticulum ER.

The rest of the ER, which does not contain ribosomes is called the smooth ER, and may contain lipids, enzymes, and other proteins. As a protein destined for the endomembrane system is being synthesized by a ribosome, the first amino acids in the growing polypeptide chain act as a signal sequence. That signal sequence ensures that the ribosome binds to the outer membrane of the ER and that the protein enters the ER lumen

Receipt of extracellular signals can change cell behavior quickly (e.g., in seconds or less) or much more slowly (e.g., in hours
balandron [24]

Answer:

A. Molecular changes such as extracellular signals on extracellular ligands can result in quick changes in cell behaviour. One example is insulin. Upon insulin binding on the receptor on the cell membrane, the cell release GLUT4 transporters (for muscle cells) to increase uptake of glucose.

B. Slow changes in cell behaviour can be observed for other lipophilic hormones or intracellular receptors such as glucocoortoid or estrogen which reacts with receptors in the cells.

C. Insulin is required to maintain a constant blood glucose level and hence levels of insulin has to be mediated in correspondence to the blood glucose levels. Fast acting signalling is thus required for homeostasis of blood glucose levels. Where for such lipophilic hormones such as steriods, glucocortoid, these hormones tend to have a longer lasting effect and hence results in a slow change.

Which part of the brain consists of two large hemispheres, which are divided into smaller areas known as lobes?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The answer is the cerebrum.

Explanation:

The brain consists of the following parts; the cerebrum, cerebellum and the brainstem.

The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain located in front. It has two large hemispheres joined by the corpus callosum. The cerebrum has four lobes including frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes. Functions include: initiation and coordination of movement, memory, touch, hearing etc

The brainstem is composed of the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla. Controls involuntary muscle movements, cardiac function, sneezing etc.

The cerebellum located at the back of the head has two hemispheres. It is controls voluntary muscle movement, posture, balance and equilibrium.
