endoplasmic reticulum |
|
ribosomes make |
simple proteins |
|
exocytosis steps |
DNA - RNA - Ribosome - simple protein - ER - breaks off into Vesicle (can contain destructive enzymes) - makes large macro molecule (combines proteins, sugars, lipids) called golgi aparatus - takes out large wastes |
|
central vacuole stores |
water |
|
electron microscope |
uses beams of electrons to see specimen. can see smaller things than light microscope. large and expensive |
|
Substances may pass through transport proteins by |
diffusion or active transport |
|
receptor proteins |
sets off cell responses such as opening channel proteins and releasing hormones |
|
recognition proteins |
helps determine type of cells |
|
transport proteins |
carries molecules across cell membrane |
|
The process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentration, to areas of low |
diffusion |
|
the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides. |
osmosis |
|
the process by which the information encoded in a gene is used to direct the assembly of a protein molecule. |
gene expression |
|
hereditary material |
dna |
|
molecule in cells that carries codes from the DNA in the nucleus to the sites of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm (the ribosomes) |
mRNA |
|
DNA that has been created artificially. DNA from two or more sources is incorporated into a single molecule. |
recombinant DNA |
|
acts as a pressure vessel, preventing over-expansion when water enters the cell |
cell wall |
|
function is to act as a medium of suspension for a cell's organelles, keeping a cell's inner structure intact |
cytoplasm |
|
cellular component that make proteins from all amino acid |
ribosomes |
|
cellular organelles that contain acid hydrolase enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris |
lysosomes |
|
small organelle within a cell, consisting of fluid enclosed by a lipid bilayer membrane |
vesicle |
|
transport of synthesized proteins in vesicles to the Golgi apparatus |
ER |
|
the modifying, sorting and packaging of proteins for secretion. It is also involved in the transport of lipids around the cell, and the creation of lysosomes |
golgi apparatus |
|
cellular organelle found in plant cells. It is often the largest organelle in the cell. It is surrounded by a membrane and functions to hold materials and wastes. It also functions to maintain the proper pressure within the plant cells to provide structure and support for the growing plant. |
central vacuole |
|
photosynthesis occurs in |
chloroplast |
