|
A regulatory molecule that acts as a middleman or relay to activate, or inactivate, a membrane-bound enzyme or ION channel. |
G protein |
|
|
Typically thread-like or laws and shape membrane organelle. Is the PowerHouse of a cell, providing most of its ATP Supply. |
Mitochondria |
|
|
Small, dark staining granules composed of proteins and a variety of RNA is called ribosomal RNA is. Each has to globular subunits that fit together like the body and cap of an acorn. Are the sites of protein synthesis. |
Ribosomes |
|
|
Proteins are assembled here on ribosomes thread their way into the fluid-filled interior of the ER cisterns. When complete, the newly-made proteins are enclosed in vesicles for their Journey to the Golgi apparatus where they undergo further processing. |
Rough ER |
|
|
Is continuous and consists of tubules arranged in a loop Network. It's enzymes Play No role in protein synthesis. Instead the enzymes catalyze reactions involved in the following tasks. Metabolize lipids, synthesized steroid-based hormones, detoxify drugs, break down stored glycogen to form free glucose, store calcium ions and most cell types. |
Smooth ER |
|
|
Consists of stacked and flattened membranous sacs, shaped like Halo dinner plates, associated with swarms of tiny and bring us a vesicles. Is the principal traffic director for cellular proteins. Function is to modify, concentrate, and package the proteins and lipids made at the rough ER and destined for export from the cell. |
Golgi apparatus |
|
|
Spherical membranous sacs containing a variety of powerful enzymes, the most important of which are oxidases and and catalyzes. |
Peroxisomes |
|
|
Spherical membranous organelles containing activated hydraulic enzymes for digestion. |
Lysosomes |
|
|
An elaborate network of rods running through the cytosol and hundreds of accessory proteins that link these rods to other cell structures. It actually sells bones, muscles, and ligaments by supporting cellular structures and providing the Machinery to generate various cell movements. |
Cytoskeleton |
