Paramecium caudatum is a unicellular organism that can phagocytose and digest a bacterium using hydrolytic enzymes. Proteases are one example of hydrolytic enzymes that can break down proteins into polypeptides and amino acids. Name all of the organelles involved, in the order that the protease will go through. from its synthesis to its final destination. Note that this protease needs to be modified through the addition of a carbohydrate in order to be functional.

Put the following structures in order according to the pathway of a secreted protein: a. plasma membrane b. Golgi bodies c. endoplasmic reticulum d. post-Golgi vesicles
Which of the following statements best describes the synthesis of secreted proteins? a.) Secreted proteins are typically synthesized in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and carried to the Golgi apparatus in vesicles. b.) Secreted proteins are typically synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum and carried to the Golgi apparatus in vesicles. c.) Secreted proteins are typically synthesized in the Golgi apparatus. d.) Secreted proteins are typically synthesized in the cytoplasm and diffuse to the Golgi apparatus.
List the most likely cellular component or organelle that houses each of the following enzymes/proteins: (a) Enolase (b) Glycosyl transferase - this enzyme catalyzes the addition of glycosyl residues (carbohydrates) to proteins, resulting in the formation of modified, functional glycoproteins (c) Na+-K+ exchange transporter: This protein is responsible to shuttle Nat and K+ ions into and outside cells
Proteins that are trafficked through the secretory pathway of eukaryotic cells are never exposed directly to the cytoplasm. Which of the following is the best explanation for why this is true? A. Cells that specialize in protein secretion lack cytoplasm, because protein synthesis machinery takes up the volume of the cell instead. B. For a protein that will be secreted, during the whole time that it spends inside of the cell, it is enclosed within other membrane-bound compartments. C. While a protein is in the secretory pathway, it is surrounded by a dense cloud of ions that protect it from the cytoplasm. D. A protein that will be secreted is not synthesized by ribosomes in the cytoplasm; instead, it is synthesized by proteins at the plasma membrane and fed directly into the extracellular space.

Is the following statement true or false? Digestive enzymes in the lysosome are inactivated when the lysosome becomes acidic.
A eukaryotic cell contains an organelle of prominent genetic importance that prokaryotic cells and virsues lack. What is this organelle?
The following are steps that occur when a protein is targeted for synthesis on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Which of the following indicates the correct sequence for the signal mechanism that targets proteins for the ER? The SRP leaves and polypeptide synthesis resumes, with simultaneous translocation across the membrane. Polypeptide synthesis begins on a free ribosome in the cytosol. An SRP binds to the signal peptide, halting synthesis momentarily. The rest of the completed polypeptide leaves the ribosome and folds into its final conformation. The SRP binds to a receptor protein in the ER membrane that is part of a protein complex that forms a pore. The signal peptide is cleaved by an enzyme in the receptor protein complex.
