Connection I… “Active Transport” Active Transport is when something within a cell is moved to another place. Active transport requires energy to occur. The nucleus and E.R. are connected by Active Transport. To get to the ribosomes, RNA must pass through the E.R., which serves as a “highway” within the cell. RNA is the “recipe” for making proteins in Protein Synthesis. Nucleus Endoplasmic Reticulum
Connection II… “Protein Synthesis” Protein Synthesis is when RNA tells the ribosomes how to make certain proteins from amino acids. One small change in the RNA strand can change the entire protein’s purpose. Click Here for Video. The E.R. and the Ribosomes are connected by “Protein Synthesis”. The E.R. transports the RNA to the ribosomes, which then create the proteins based on the order of the nitrogen bases, Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Uracil. Endoplasmic Reticulum Ribosomes
Connection III… The Golgi Body packages and ships out proteins to where they are to be used. The Ribosomes and Golgi Body are connected by “Active Transport”. After Protein Synthesis is complete, the proteins are packaged within the Golgi Body, and then shipped out. The proteins serve many purposes within the body. Ribosomes Golgi Body
Connection IV… “Exocytosis” In Exocytosis, a vessicle fuses with the cell membrane, and then releases the substance it holds to the outside of the cell. Click Here for Video. The Golgi Body and Cell Membrane are connected by “Exocytosis”. The Golgi Body packages/ships out proteins, and when the proteins need to leave the cell, they do so by Exocytosis, because they are too large to fit through the lipid bilayerof the cell membrane. Golgi Body Cell Membrane
Connection V… The Cell Wall is a rigid structure that is found in fungi, plants, and some bacteria. Its main function is to hold the cell rigid, and not allow it to be bent or misshaped in any way. This is how plants stay upright when it is windy. The Cell Membrane and Cell Wall are connected by “Exocytosis”. When Exocytosis occurs, the substance must pass through both the membrane and wall of the cell, if it is a plant cell. Sometimes, the process is used to incorporate a substance into the Cell Wall.
