Endomembrane system

In the Functions of the Liver unit we will learn the structure and function of the liver. We will also investigate problems that may occur with the liver. ​This unit will last 3 school days

Proteins targeted for transport to the Golgi apparatus are transferred from ribosomes on RER into the RER lumen- which serves as the site of protein folding in sacs (cisternae) modification, and assembly. Synthesized proteins in vesicles are transported to the Golgi apparatus.

THE QUESTION IS: Correctly label the following image to describe the endomembrane system.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a major role in the biosynthesis of proteins. Proteins that are synthesized by ribosomes on the ER are transported into the Golgi apparatus for processing. Some of these proteins will be secreted from the cell, others will be inserted into the plasma membrane, and still others will be inserted into lysosomes.

Eukaryotes possess an elaborate endomembrane system with endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus, Golgi, lysosomes, peroxisomes, autophagosomes, and dynamic vesicle traffic. Theories addressing the evolutionary origin of eukaryotic endomembranes have overlooked the outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) that bacteria, archaea, and mitochondria secrete into their surroundings. We propose that the eukaryotic endomembrane system originated from bacterial OMVs released by the mitochondrial ancestor within the…

Why are cells so small? Small cells have a high surface area to volume ratio which allows more stuff to move in and out of the cell
