Endomembrane System
The endomembrane system regulates protein traffic and performs metabolic
functions in the cell.
◦ Nuclear envelope
◦ Endoplasmic reticulum
◦ Golgi apparatus
◦ Lysosomes
◦ Vacuoles
◦ Plasma membrane
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
The ER membrane is continuous with the
nuclear envelope Smooth ER

Golgi apparatus) Cisternae
Functions of the Golgi apparatus:
• Modifies products of the ER
• Manufactures certain macromolecules
• Sorts and packages materials into
transport vesicles

Lysosome: membranous sac of hydrolytic enzymes that can digest macromolecules
(hydrolyze proteins, fats, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids)

Mitochondria
Mitochondria: have a smooth outer membrane and an inner membrane folded into
cristae (Cristae present a large surface area for enzymes that synthesize ATP) Intermembrane space
Outer
membrane
The inner membrane creates two compartments:
1. intermembrane space
Free ribosomes
2. mitochondrial matrix in the

matrix
Inner
Some metabolic steps of cellular membrane
respiration are catalyzed in the Cristae

Chloroplasts
▪ Chloroplasts are found in plant cells and help capture light to produce glucose.
▪ Chloroplasts contain the green pigment chlorophyll, as well as enzymes and other
molecules that function in photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are found in leaves and
other green organs of plants and in algae

What features of the phospholipid enable it to form a

Cell Membrane
• Non-polar molecules are able to
diffuse readily across the cell
membrane.
Functions:
• Signal reception/transduction

Below are some ways in which the phospholipid bilayer ensures a stable level
of fluidity even when exposed to temperature changes:
A) presence of cholesterol
Function:
Fluid Viscous
C) Unsaturated vs. Saturated Fatty Acid Tail:
The cell membrane must have a combination of
both unsaturated and saturated phospholipids to
maintain fluidity
