Q

how does the dna fit in the cell

A

the dna coils around histone proteins.8 histones typically forms one nucleosome

Q

how does ATP produce energy

A

glucose produces ATP, which releases energy by releasing one phosphate molecule( as ATP is a triphosphate)

Q

golgi body

A

series of flattened membrane sacks or cistern with small hollow structures called vesicles
it modifies and transports proteins from the RER to the cell membrane for export

Q

vesicles

A

membrane-bound sacs containing substances to be moved around or our of the cell - eg cell debris, proteins

17
Q

lysosomes

A

contain digestive enzymes
breaks down unwanted or absorbed substances (sometimes even the whole cell - autolysis) so the materials can be recycled
can also digest its contents or release enzymes to break down material outside the cell
