animal cell Flashcards
Pinocytotic Vescle
A Pinocytic vesicle is a structure which helps in the Pinocytic process, where the small particles are bought into the cell, forming an infolding or invagination which in turn are suspended in the small vesicles. This process is also known as Cell Drinking.
Lysosome
A lysosome is a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. They break down excess or worn-out cell parts.
Golgi Vesicles
The Golgi body is a portion of the cell that’s made up of membranes, and there’s different types of membranes. The Golgi is located right near the nucleus.
Endoplasmic reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum is, in essence, the transportation system of the eukaryotic cell, and has many other important functions such as protein folding.
Cell membrane
The cell Membrane is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment which protects the cell from its environment.
Ribosome
A ribosome is a cellular particle made of RNA and protein that serves as the site for protein synthesis in the cell.
Microtubules
Microtubules are polymers of tubulin that form part of the cytoskeleton and provide structure and shape to eukaryotic cells.
Mitochondrion
The mitochondrion is a membrane-bound organelle found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It is the power house of the cell
Golgi apparatus
A Golgi body, also known as a Golgi apparatus, is a cell organelle that helps process and package proteins and lipid molecules, especially proteins destined to be exported from the cell.
Nucleolus
The nucleolus is the largest structure in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
Nucleus
A nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle that contains the cell’s chromosomes. Pores in the nuclear membrane allow for the passage of molecules in and out of the nucleus.
Centriole
In cell biology a centriole is a cylindrical organelle composed mainly of a protein called tubulin.
Cytoplasm
Cytoplasm is a thick solution that fills each cell and is enclosed by the cell membrane. It is mainly composed of water, salts, and proteins.
