How does the structure of the erythrocyte support its function? Explain how the nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and golgi body work together to produce lysosomes. Discuss the macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and lipids) and ...
A simple AP1 knock-down experiment with a Tac-TRPML1 N-terminus construct should clarify this point. Furthermore, it has recently been reported in human fibroblasts that TRPML1 may play a role in lysosomal exocytosis [48]. This process is characterized by fusion of lysosomes with the plasma ...
Lysosomes are membrane-bounded organelles predominantly found animal cells. Explore the definition, structure, function & diagram of lysosomes only @ BYJU'S.
Gathers simple molecules and create more complex molecules. Golgi Apparatus A layer of phospholipids and proteins that forms a barrier between the inside of the cell and outside environment. Plasma membrane They dig sugars, proteins, and other foods a cell absorbs. Lysosomes A double-membrane surro...
The SLC2 genes code for a family of GLUT proteins that are part of the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) of membrane transporters. Crystal structures have recently revealed how the unique protein fold of these proteins enables the catalysis of transport. The proteins have 12 transmembrane spans ...
Most nutrients are ingested in a form that is either too complex for absorption or insoluble, and therefore, indigestible or incapable of being digested. Within the GI tract, much of these substances are solubilized and further degraded enzymatically to simple molecules, sufficiently small in size,...

What is the primary function of this cell part, a lysosome? What are the functions of the nucleolus, rough endoplasmic reticulum, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, vesicles, mitochondria, lysosomes, centrosomes and centrioles, cell walls, and chloroplas ...
The cells are also rich in lysosomes, mitochondria and lipofuscin and feature a prominent Golgi apparatus, especially when the secretion phase is active. Myoepithelial cells are also dispersed throughout the lining of the secretory segment. Their function is to aid excretion with their contractions....
The Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter (PfCRT) is a key contributor to multidrug resistance and is also essential for the survival of the malaria parasite, yet its natural function remains unresolved. We identify host-derived peptid
