Chapter 4, Problem 6TY
Summary Introduction
A large network of membranes enclosing the nucleus is known as the endomembrane system. The membranes of the endomembrane system are used to divide cells into organelles. The endomembrane system contains various organelles. Each organelle of the endomembrane system performs a specific role. Golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic reticulum are a part of the endomembrane system and are involved in vesicle transport.

Various types of vesicle coats have been implicated in membrane traffic pathways such as endocytosis, export from the ER to the Golgi, and transport between Golgi cisternae. But so far, no coat has been identified for the secretory vesicles that carry material from the Golgi to the plasma membrane. Do you think such a coat is likely to exist?
Match the following type of vesicles to the direction of transport of materials the vesicles do.
COPII-coated vesicles
COP1-coated vesicles
Clathrin-coated vesicles
(clathrin) coated pits
A.
From ER to the Golgi Apparatus
B.
from TGN to lysosomes
C.
receptor mediated endocytosis
D.
from Golgi Apparatus to ER
Liver cells are packed with glucose. If the concentration of glucose in a liver cell is higher than in the surrounding fluid, what mechanism could the cell use to import even more glucose? Why would only this mode of transport work?

- If the concentration of a solute is the same both inside and outside the cell, what might you expect with regard to its transport by a membrane protein? A. Since there is no concentration gradient, no transport either in or out of the cell is possible. B. The transport protein has been saturated. C. The solute must be phosphorylated with a phosphate group from ATP before further transport can occur. D. Movement of the solute across the membrane could occur and cause accumulated on one side of the membrane by an active transport protein. The concerted model of allosteric regulation is different from the sequential model, because: A. The concerted model is used to explain homotropic effects B. The sequential model is used to explain heterotropic effects C. Both A and B D. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardAmong the statements a, b and c, which is/are false? a) Endocytosis is the formation of vacuoles by the plasma membrane for the purpose oftransport inside the cell a small content of extracellular fluid. b) Exocytosis is the formation of vacuoles by the plasma membrane for the purpose oftransport a small amount of intracellular fluid out of the cell. c) Pinocytosis is a form of endocytosis. d) All of these statements are false. e) None of these statements is false.arrow_forwardWhile performing fluorescent microscopy to observe the transport of bulk molecules into a cell a researcher uses a green, fluorescent bulk protein and a red fluorescent dye to stain the cell membrane. If the cell has the ability to transport the bulk proteins into the cell, what would we expect to see in the microscope when the images are merged? What would we expect to see if the cell did not have the ability to transport the bulk protein?arrow_forward
- If a percent difference is a negative number, what does this tell us about the change in weight of the artificial cell? If the percent difference is a negative number, what does this tell us about the movement of water across the membrane?arrow_forwardGlucose is transported across the cell membrane of intestinal cells. The cells lining the small intestine, however, rapidly move large quantities of glucose from the glucose-rich food into their glucose-poor cytoplasm. Using this information, which transport mechanism is most probably functioning in the intestinal cells? A facilitated diffusion B simple diffusion C osmosis D concentration gradientarrow_forwardContents of transport vesicles can originate at the rough ER or smooth ER. What types of molecules are expected to be transported from the rough ER? From the smooth ER?arrow_forward
- Which of the following methods of transport is being used to transfer the substance into the cell in the accompanying graph? a. diffusion down a concentration gradient b. osmosis c. facilitated diffusion d. active transport e. vesicular transport f. It is impossible to tell with the information provided.arrow_forwardThe endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus are two organelles that are not physically joined, yet materials can still be exchanged between them. How can materials, such as proteins, move between the ER and Golgi when these organelles are not touching each other? A) When a substance such as a protein needs to move between these organelles, it is first dismantled in one organelle, then reassembled when it arrives at the other organelle. B) Substances such as proteins can travel between these organelles within transport vesicles. C) None of these; a single molecule will not go from one organelle to another. D) Substances like proteins will move between these organelles by diffusion through the cytoplasm. ..arrow_forwardIn order for the Golgi apparatus to release synthesized molecules to the outside of the cell (exocytosis), one would expect that the Golgi vesicle a) regulates the DNA. b) causes the translation of DNA into RNA, c) has specific membrane proteins that causes these vesicles to bind to specific binding molecules in the cell membranes. d) forms the chloroplasts membrane. e) binds the DNA to RNAarrow_forward

The most reasonable explanation for this observation is that Select one: A. animal cells are spherical, whereas plant cells are elongated. B. plant cells are capable of having a much higher surface-to-volume ratio than animal cells. C. plant cells have a much more highly convoluted (folded) plasma membrane than animal cells. D. plant cells contain a large vacuole that occupies much of the volume of the cell.arrow_forwardSuppose you have a cell from a freshwater fish that is isotonic with its surrounding environment, with a K+ concentration inside the cell of 0.05M.
