    1. Describe the characteristics of the Retortamonadida and Diplomonadida orders. Both Retortamonadida and Diplomonadida lack mitochondria as well as a Golgi apparatus, which are also known as dictyosomes. Retortamonadida and Diplomonadida also possess a recurrent flagella within a groove and can occupy low oxygen environments. Both orders of Retortamonadida and Diplomonadida are commonly found within humans. 2. Describe the morphology of Chilomastix mesnili trophozoites. In the cyst stage of

    is known as the ER-Golgi pathway 2. That is, they are transported from the ER to the Golgi. From the Golgi, the protein(s) are then sent to their respective locations which can be to the plasma membrane (lining the outside of a cell), secretory vesicles, or lysosomes 2. There are certain transport vesicles which exist on the ER exit sites which are are COPII coated2. The synthesized proteins are first packed into these transport vesicles before being sent to the Golgi apparatus 2. This process can

    Fringe, and selectin functions or signalling [8, 9]. The defect in LAD II is in the specific GDP-fucose transporter (GFTP) gene [10,11]. Process of fucosylation by GDP-fucose transporter in the Golgi apparatus has different steps. GFTP translocates GDP-fucose from the cytosol through the Golgi membrane into the Golgi lumen. Fucose required is provided via de novo pathway (90%), synthesis from mannose, or by alternate salvage pathway (10%) from exogeneous/dietary fucose [9]. Than, fucosyl transferase transfers

    ribosomes builds the amino acid chain, the chain is pushed into the ER. When the protein is complete, the rough ER pinches off a vesicle. That vesicle, a small membrane bubble, can move to the cell membrane or the Golgi apparatus Golgi apparatus[pic] The function of the Golgi apparatus is to modify, sort, and package proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in the cell or secretion outside the cell. Lysosome [pic] Lysosomes are single

    The structures within an animal cell are described as follows: Plasma Membrane or Cell Membrane: This is a thin membranous layer which surrounds the cell and acts as a barrier, it works to separate the contents within the cell from its external environment as well as from other cells. It 's structure is important as it provides structural support and protection of components within it as is is made up of a double membrane layer or phospholipid bilayer. It works likes a gatekeeper of pathway so

    Much of this process is done by the Golgi apparatus, one of the essential organelles of a living cell. The Golgi complex contains a numerous number of these vesicles. These vesicles are then used to transport different molecules to the cellular membrane. At the cellular membrane, these vesicles are then excreted. Larger secretory that are found are used for selective excretion. Furthermore, the vesicles mediate the sorting of molecules because the Golgi apparatus is responsible for controlling molecular

    It is estimated that about 17% of the worldwide population is at risk of developing zinc deficiency (Wessells KR and Brown KH 2012 7). Zinc as a biologically essential micronutrient, is important for a proper functioning of human and animals. The human body contains 2–3 g of zinc located mainly in the muscle and bone (Vela G. 2015 2015:972791). In the brain, the highest levels of zinc are found in the cortex, hippocampus and amygdala (Takeda A. 2009 11;62(1):33-44; Swardfager W. 37 2013 911–929;

    The 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine was awarded to James Rothman, Randy Schekman and Thomas Südhof for the work that they did on transport vesicles within the cellular membrane. The recipients discovered how the cellular transport system was organized so that transport material was delivered to the correct site with proper timing. Rothman discovered how the vesicle is able to fuse with a cell membrane or organelle to deliver its contents. Schekman through the study of yeast isolated

    cell. (Biology Online, 2008) The golgi complex is a structure composed of flattened sacs known as cisternae. It is involved in the modification and packaging of proteins, the manufacturing of lysosomes and transport of products via vesicles. (Bailey, R, 2013) (Bailey, R. 2012) Exocytosis is the process of how hormones, digestive enzymes and lipids are released from the cell. Vesicles containing the product pinch off from the sacs of the golgi apparatus and move towards the plasma membrane
