How does a cell work?
You mission is to make three detailed diagrams of organelles and building blocks to make”
a) Pathway from Nucleus to cell membrane to make a protein.
b) Pathway to make a complex fat (such as steroids) and or detoxifying an alcohol to make a fat.
c) Pathway into and out of a mitochondria.
Step one:
Make a labelled two dimensional drawing of organelles involved for three pathways.
Step two:
Include building block to make specific biomolecules and also show where these building block come from.
For example: Lysosome to make amino acids that are then transported to ribosomes to make protein.
Step Three
For cellular respiration you should include pathways (by name) within the mitochondria matrix. Also show construction of ATP including ATPase and concentration gradient. In one half of mitochondria show what is going into the mitochondria, on the second half, discuss what is being constructed and then released from the mitochondria.
Not that you should pay attention to all molecules including: biomolecules, water, hydrogen and possible ions.
This sheet will be used to answer specific multiple choice questions.
It should be prepared for next class.
