All translation starts on _____________ ribosomes?

What are free or cytoplasmic ribosomes?

100

The structure that carries fold proteins from the ER to the golgi are called _________.

What are vesicles?               

100

Endocytosis and exocytosis require a shape change, what cytoskeletal protein is responsible for that shape change?

What are microfilaments?

100

What is the process of cell "drinking?

What is pinocytosis?

In which cellular location would you expect to find ribosomes translating mRNAs that encode ribosomal proteins?

      a.  the nucleus

      b.  on the rough ER

      c.  in the cytosol

      d.  in the lumen of the ER

In the cytosol

200

This allows the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) to enter the nucleus

What is a Nuclear Localization Sequence?

Your friend has just joined a lab that studies vesicle budding from the Golgi and has been given a cell line that will package proteins into vesicles in the ER, but the vesicles never reach the golgi or cell membrane.  The vesicles just pile up inside of the cell.   What might be mutated in this cell to cause this?  

What are mutations in the motor proteins?

200

 The first organelle you'd expect to find a folded protein that is destined to be secreted from a cell.

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

When a macrophage (immune white blood cell) engulfs a bacteria to prevent infection, this is an example of 

what is phago cytosis?
300

Enzymes are needed to breakdown and recycle material for the cell.   Those enzymes are produced on ___________ ribosomes and end up in _______________.   

What is a bound ribosome and what are Lysosomes?

300

The absence of any signal or targeting sequence, where would you expect any protein to be located in the cell

Cytosol

300

Which of the following would NOT be a protein made in the secretory pathway?

insulin

ECM protein

membrane ion channel

histone

What are histones?

300

Name the sequence of organelles that reflects the locations that a secretory protein will visit on its way from its production site to its secretion out of the cell

rough ER, Golgi

300

What is the endocytic pathway that is very specific?

what is Receptor mediated endocytosis?

400

Ribosomal genes and rRNA genes gather together for transcription to form this cellular structure?

     

    

 nucleolus

400

Proteins targeted to the cell membrane will be made (completed) on a ___________ ribosome?

What is a ER-Bound ribosome?

400
What is the proper vocabular word to describe the LAST step of the secretory pathway?

What is exocytosis?

400

Facilitative diffusion requires

a channel protein, but NOT ATP.  

400

Endocytosis and exocytosis are both examples of active transport which means they both require

What is ATP?

500

An enzyme that is needed for lipid biosynthesis would be found abundant in what organelle?

What is the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) ?     

500

A patient presents with a genetic disease in which the enzyme Protein Disulfide Isomerase (PDI) is kept within the cytoplasm instead of being secreted into the extra cellular matrix.  You sequence the secreted protein and find that the normal sequence Lys (K), Asp (D), Glu (E), Leu (L) near the C-terminus is mutated to Lys, Asp, Phe, Leu. Explain why the patient does not secretes PDI

What is the mutation was found within the target sequence that redirects a cytoplasmic ribosome to the ER?

500

What is the name of the cytoskeletal protein that is involved with vesicular transport?

What are microtubules?

500

An individual with I-cell disease has a defect in lysosomal targeting of many of the lysosomal targeted hydrolytic enzymes produced by cells. I-cell disease results from a defective phosphotransferase that is needed to add mannose-6-phosphate to oligosaccharide chains on lysosomal enzymes.  As a result these individuals have psychomotor retardation, skeletal abnormalities, and a life span of about 8 years.  If the proteins are not targeted to the lysosome, where do they go?

the proteins are secreted from cells

500

A protein pump will move ions from 

what is low to high concentration?
