Do all proteins leave the cell?

Most proteins of course stay in the cell, and are necessary to make the cell or carry out metabolism or DNA transcription.

What makes proteins that leave the cell?

Endoplasmic reticulum with attached ribosomes is called rough ER. It looks bumpy under a microscope. The attached ribosomes make proteins that will be used inside the cell and proteins made for export out of the cell.

Where are proteins that are destined to exit a cell produced?

the endoplasmic reticulum
Proteins are assembled at organelles called ribosomes. When proteins are destined to be part of the cell membrane or exported from the cell, the ribosomes assembling them attach to the endoplasmic reticulum, giving it a rough appearance.

What happens to proteins as they pass through the Golgi apparatus?

What happens to proteins as they pass through the Golgi apparatus? Proteins are modified by having sugars attached or removed. Within the Golgi apparatus, different proteins are modified by the activities of sugar molecules. After modification, the proteins move within vesicles to specific locations in the cell.

Do proteins move in and out of cells?

Many proteins can move within the plasma membrane through a process called membrane diffusion. This concept of membrane-bound proteins that can travel within the membrane is called the fluid-mosaic model of the cell membrane.

What part of the cell prepares products to leave cell?

The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages different substances for secretion out of the cell, or for use within the cell. The Golgi apparatus is found close to the nucleus of the cell, where it modifies proteins that have been delivered in transport vesicles from the RER.

What part of the cell is responsible for breaking down and digesting things?

lysosome
The organelle that is responsible for breaking things down and digestion is called the lysosome.

Why some proteins are constitutively secreted from the cell whereas others are retained until their release is signaled for by a messenger?

Many tRNA molecules are required to build a protein. Describe why some proteins are constitutively secreted from the cell whereas others are retained until their release is signaled for by a messenger. Constitutive secretion allows the continual secretion of soluble proteins that supply the plasma membrane.

How do proteins get to their correct destinations in cells?

Cells have various shipping systems, kind of like molecular versions of the postal service, to make sure that proteins arrive at their correct destinations. In these systems, molecular labels (often, amino acid sequences) are used to “address” proteins for delivery to specific locations.

What happens when Golgi apparatus is absent in a cell?

In the absence of the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes would not be produced, and the accumulation of dead and damaged organelles and molecules in the cell would ultimately result in cell death. If the Golgi apparatus is not present the packaging and transport of materials would cease.
