• THE ENDOMEMBRANE SYSTEM
– NETWORK OF ORGANELLES THAT WORK
TOGETHER IN THE SYNTHESIS, STORAGE, AND
EXPORT OF IMPORTANT MOLECULES
A TOUR OF THE CELL
• ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
– ROUGH E.R.
– NETWORK OF INTERCONNECTED FLATTENED
SACS, COVERED WITH RIBOSOMES, WITH TWO
MAIN FUNCTIONS
• MAKE MORE MEMBRANE
• MAKE PROTEINS TO BE SECRETED BY THE CELL
A TOUR OF THE CELL
• ROUGH E.R.
A TOUR OF THE CELL
• SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
– SMOOTH E.R.
– CONTINUOUS WITH ROUGH E.R. BUT LACKS RIBOSOMES
– FUNCTIONS
• SYNTHESIS OF LIPIDS
• STORAGE OF CALCIUM IONS (NEEDED FOR MUSCLE
CONTRACTION)
• SMOOTH E.R. IN THE LIVER
– CONTROLS THE AMOUNT OF SUGAR
– BREAKDOWN/DETOXIFIES DRUGS AND OTHER HARMFUL SUBSTANCES
» YOU CAN GROW MORE SMOOTH E.R.??
» THIS EXPLAINS DEVELOPMENT OF TOLERANCE!!!
A TOUR OF THE CELL
• GOLGI APPARATUS (COMPLEX/BODY)
– SERIES OF FLATTENED SACS
– NOT INTERCONNECTED
A TOUR OF THE CELL
• GOLGI APPARATUS
– ACTS AS “SHIPPING WAREHOUSE”
– CHEMICALLY MODIFIES PROTEINS PRODUCED BY
E.R., THEN SENDS THEM TO THEIR SPECIFIC
DESTINATIONS
A TOUR OF THE CELL
• LYSOSOMES
– “BREAKDOWN BODY”, CONTAINS HYDROLYTIC
ENZYMES
A TOUR OF THE CELL
• LYSOSOMES
– DIGEST TINY FOOD PARTICLES, BACTERIA, BUSTED
ORGANELLES (HELPS RECYCLE PARTS)
– ENZYMES MUST BE KEPT INSIDE MEMBRANE, OR
ELSE!!!!
A TOUR OF THE CELL
• ENZYMES MUST BE KEPT INSIDE MEMBRANE,
OR ELSE!!!!
– ABNORMAL LYSOSOMES CAN CAUSE
• LYSOSOMAL STORAGE DISEASES
• POMPE’S DISEASE
• TAY-SACH’S DISEASE
