For this discussion, explain how each organelle in a eukaryotic animal cell is interconnected with the others. You will need to write at minimum a couple of paragraphs but at most as much as it will require for you to answer this.

Different organelles make close contacts with each other via MCSs. These contact sites are generally thought to form via membrane proteins that act as tethers on the interacting organelles . Often these tethers are part of large multiprotein complexes.

The endomembrane system (endo = within) is a group of membranes and organelles in eukaryotic cells that work together to modify, package, and transport lipids and proteins. It includes the nuclear envelope, lysosomes, vesicles, endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus, which we will cover shortly.

There are two types of proteins: structural proteins and enzymes. Cell organelles must work together to carry out protein synthesis, utilize proteins within the cell, and transport them out of the cell.

Explanation:

many other transport proteins, often called pumps, move materials against a concentration gradient. active transport drives molecules across a membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. this process, shown in figure 5.1, uses transport proteins powered by chemi- cal energy.
