Concept explainers
To explain: The mitochondria and chloroplasts should not be classified in the endomembrane system.
Concept introduction: Endomembrane system is a combination of different membranes that are found suspended in the cytoplasm of a cell. Component of endomembrane system derived from the endoplasmic reticulum or remain connected with other components of the endomembrane. These components play an important role in distributing cell component into the structural and functional unit. In eukaryotes, there are different components of endomembrane system. These include the vesicles, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, nuclear membrane, endosomes, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and cell membranes.

- Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/endomembrane1) to learn about the endomembrane system, which includes the rough and smooth ER and the Golgi body as well as lysosomes and vesicles. What is the primary role of the endomembrane system?arrow_forwardQ1: What structures do prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have in common? Q2: What cellular processes occur in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? Q3: Both plants and animals are eukaryotes, but there are differences in their cellular structure. What are those differences?arrow_forwarddraw both: a mitochondrium and a chloroplast labeling their most important structures, compare and the functions of both in animal and plant cells.arrow_forward
- What would happen to a cell if the mitochondria cristae were damaged? should be an original thought, not Google’s few snetences dont use others answersarrow_forwardWHAT IF? Some membrane proteins diffuse faster in the plasma membrane when the cytoskeleton or the extracellular matrix is artificially removed than when cells are unperturbed. Explain why.arrow_forwardHow much? How might one even define a cell as different if cells look the same morphologically?arrow_forward
- WHAT IF? Suppose a membrane surrounded an oildroplet, as it does in the cells of plant seeds and in someanimal cells. Describe and explain the form it might takearrow_forwardHello! I need a hand with this question: What cell structures best reveal evolutionary unity? Provide examples of diversity related to specialized cellular modifications. Thanks in advance.arrow_forwardQ. Because of the high energy demands related to swimming at depth, belugas possess very large specialized mitochondria. Given your knowledge of evolution and the theory of endosymbiosis, which hypothesis best explains the presence of these special mitochondria in the muscle cells of these whales? A. the beluga's mitochondria were originally chloroplasts B. the lineage leading to belugas evolved specialized mitochondria after the original endosymbiotic event C. whale muscle cells engulfed the special mitochondria 100,000 years ago during the evolution of the first whales and lost mitochondria from the original endosymbiotic event D. None of these answers are plausiblearrow_forward
- Test Your Understanding 12.EVOLUTION LINK Explain to your roommate why the evolution of biological membranes was an essential step in the origin of life. Give arguments supporting (or challenging) this hypothesis.arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between the components of the endomembrane system? This should be an original thought, not Google’s.arrow_forwardBreifly explain how a chloroplast structural protein is built, modified, and transported to the chloroplast. Make sure to mention the following organelles or cell parts in your answer: chloroplast, rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, nucleus, ribosome,arrow_forward
