    Study Notes

    Biomembrane Processes

    • Exterior Cytosol:

    • Regulated secretion occurs through vesicles.

    • Constitutive secretion happens continuously.

    • Plasma Membrane:

    • Endocytosis involves vesicles bringing material into the cell.

    • Endocytic vesicles are sorted with transport vesicles then to lysosomes.

    • Golgi Apparatus:

    • CIS-Golgi network is the starting point.

    • Medial-Golgi, and TRANS-Golgi network follows

    • Vesicles bud and fuse from the Golgi network to ER.

    • Vesicles bud and fuse to form CIS-Golgi, medial-Golgi to trans-Golgi

    • Retrograde Transport:

    • Materials travel from later to earlier Golgi cisternae.

    • Materials travel from Golgi to ER.

    • Sorting occurs in the trans-Golgi

    • Rough ER:

    • Protein synthesis happens on bound ribosomes.

    • Co-translational transport of proteins is into ER membrane.
