Study Notes
Enzymes and Organelles
- Cytochrome P450 enzymes detoxify lipid-soluble drugs and harmful compounds in the endoplasmic reticulum.
- The Golgi apparatus arises from the endoplasmic reticulum.
- Lysosomes are often referred to as the 'suicidal bag' of the cell due to their role in breaking down waste materials and cellular debris.
Golgi Apparatus Structure and Functions
- The cis face of the Golgi apparatus receives materials for packaging.
- The trans face of the Golgi body is responsible for the release of packaged materials.
- The diameter of the cisternae of the Golgi apparatus ranges from 0.2 to 1 micrometer.
- The cis face of the Golgi body is located near the nucleus.
Endoplasmic Reticulum Types
- Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is the major site for the synthesis of lipids, steroid hormones, and for glycogen metabolism.
Relationship with Endomembrane System
- Organelles such as lysosomes are part of the endomembrane system of eukaryotic cells.
- Ribosomes are not part of the endomembrane system despite their role in protein synthesis.
Historical Context
- The Golgi body was discovered in the year 1898.
