macromolecular complexes Flashcards
Cytoskeletons
are structures within the cell that provide its power. But every so often, our mitochondria and their surrounding cells fight.
Ribosomes
are intercellular structure made of both RNA and protein, and it is the site of protein synthesis in the cell.
Centrioles
Centrioles are paired barrel-shaped organelles located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope. They help determine the locations of the nucleus and other organelles within the cell.
Proteasomes
Proteasomes are protein complexes that degrade unneeded or damaged proteins by proteolysis, a chemical reaction that breaks peptide bonds.
The function of DNA
The function of DNA is to direct the processes required for the cells to develop, live and reproduce.
What is cell differentiation?
The process during which immature cells take on individual characteristics and reach their mature form and function.
