Vesicle is a small, membrane bound sac that transport or stores material within the cell

A

Secretory Vesicles

24
Q

Secretory vesicles accumulate in the cytoplasm and are release to the exterior when receive a signal

A

Secretory Vesicles

25
Example is nerve cells and beta cells of pancreas
Secretory Vesicles
26
Are membrane bound vesicles formed from the Golgi apparatus
Lysosomes
27
They contain variety of enzymes that function as intracellular digestive enzyme.
Lysosomes
28
Carry out phagocytosis
Lysosomes
29
Carry out autolysis of bacteria
Lysosomes
30
Carry out extracellular digestion that can cause inflammation.
Lysosomes
31
Oxidizes amino acids and fatty acids
Peroxisome
32
Detoxifies harmful substances like hydrogen peroxide
Peroxisome
33
These are abundant in liver and kidney cells
Peroxisome
34
Degrades unneeded, damaged or faulty proteins by cutting them into small peptides
Proteasome
35
Are small bean-shaped, rod-shaped or long threadlike organelles with inner and outer membranes
Mitochondria
36
Major sites of adenosine triphosphate production in the cell
Mitochondria
37
Major energy source for most of the chemical reactions.
Mitochondria
38
Carry out aerobic respiration
Mitochondria
39
caries the genetic information
DNA
40
transfers this genetic information
RNA
41
Dormant or resting
G0
42
Normal cell activities, RNA and CHON synthesis
G1
43
Period in which the DNA is duplicated through DNA synthesis
S
44
pre-mitotic, synthesis of proteins (MITOTIC SPINDLES) for cellular division
G2
45
Mitotic phase (I-P-M-A-T)
M
46
is essential for growth of new tissue and repair of damage tissue
Protein synthesis
47
parent cell produces daughter cells with identical chromosomes
Mitotic Phase
48
nuclear division; distribution of two sets of chromosomes into separate nucleoli
Mitosis
49
chromatin fibers condense into paired chromatids;
Prophase
50
Centromeres of chromatid pairs line up at metaphase plate
Metaphase
51
Centromeres split; identical sets of chromosomes move to opposite poles of cell
Anaphase
