Question
Chapter 7, Problem 11PIAT
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
Melanosomes are found only in certain cells and are called lysosome-related organelles based on their origin, but they do not contain hydrolases or have a low pH. Determine the process of formation of melanosomes.
Introduction:
Melanosomes are considered to be lysosome-related organelles, but they do not contain hydrolases and have a low pH (potential of hydrogen) because they do not have the same origin as the lysosomes. If the melanosomes had the same origin as the lysosomes, they would receive enzymes from the Golgi apparatus, similar to lysosomes.

The number of a particular kind of organelle may change during the life
cycle of a cell. As a tadpole matures into a frog, its tail gradually
disappears completely.
Identify the role of various organelles as the tadpole changes into a frog.

A - smooth endoplasmic reticulum
B - mitochondria
C - cytoskeleton
D - lysosomes

What type of cells do humans need to produce in large quantities on a daily basis?arrow_forwardOrganelles and Cystic Fibrosis A plasma membrane transport protein called CFTR moves chloride ions out of cells lining cavities and ducts of the lungs, liver, pancreas, intestines, and reproductive system. Water that follows the ions creates a thin film that allows mucus to slide easily through these structures. People with cystic fibrosis (CF) have too few copies of the CFTR protein in the plasma membranes of their cells. Not enough chloride ions leave the cells, and so not enough water leaves them either. The result is thick, dry mucus that clogs the airways to the lungs and other passages. Symptoms include difficulty breathing and chronic lung infections. In 2000, researchers tracked the cellular location of the CFTR protein as it was being produced in cells from people with CF (Figure 3.13). Figure 3.13 Cellular location of the CFTR protein. Graph compares the amounts of CFTR protein found in endoplasmic reticulum, vesicles traveling from ER to Golgi, and Golgi bodies in CF cells and normal cells. In which organelle is the amount of CFTR protein most similar in both types of cells?arrow_forwardOrganelles and Cystic Fibrosis A plasma membrane transport protein called CFTR moves chloride ions out of cells lining cavities and ducts of the lungs, liver, pancreas, intestines, and reproductive system.
