RECEPTER PROTEIN

Here's how a receptor detects a hormone and sends a signal to the nucleus to copy a gene in the DNA.

GREAT SITES FOR CELL BIO (use for web project)

Protein production begins with a receptor sending a signal to the nucleus. In the nucleus, a segment of DNA (a) called a gene, is copied as instructions to make one kind of protein. Coded instructions for a protein (like a recipe) leaves the nucleus in the form of mRNA (b) and goes to either free ribosomes (c) or to ribosomes bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (d). When released from a free ribosome, a protein (e) can become incorporated into cytoskeletal fibers (f) or into such organelles as a mitochondrion (g) or a peroxisome (h).

Proteins made in the endoplasmic reticulum leave in a vesicle (i) and migrate to the Golgi apparatus (j). Proteins are sorted in the Golgi and are then carried in vesicles to lysosomes (k), or are secreted (l) or incorporated into the cell's surface membrane (m).

Below: Ribosomes on Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum assembling protein using instructions from mRMA.

Below: Enzyme (shown in blue) binding a substrate (shown in red)

Below is an excellent link to show you amino acid assembly into a protein

enzyme and how it forms ionic and hydrogen bonds with a specific ligand.

MAKING ATP - ATP Synthase Animation. This is one cool and helpful animation, although we aren't up to this subject yet. The link below shows how H+ (protons) flow through an enzyme in the mitochondrial membrane to attach a phosphate group to Adenosine Diphosphate to make Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). ATP is then available to supply energy throughout the cell to start other chemical reactions. The energy is released when  that phosphate group is broken off again. The process actually starts with the break down of glucose. ATP is like a rechargeable battery, with mitochondria being the charger using glucose bonds as the initial power source.

GRADING POLICY

Homework or collected class work: Usually 5 points each (half points available) see rubric for grading criteria (1 day late = (-20%), not accepted after one day late).

Quizzes: approximately 10 - 20 points each

Exams: 40 - 60 points each

Essays and projects: 10 - 50 points each

The total points possible for each marking period will vary. To determine your letter grade on an assignment or at any point in the marking period, divide your accumulated points by your possible points to date and multiply by 100. As a science department policy, no extra credit is available.
