Termini in questo insieme (19)
The control center of a eukaryotic cell that contains DNA and regulates gene expression.
Organelles responsible for energy production through cellular respiration.
Sites of protein synthesis found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Network of membranes involved in protein and lipid synthesis
Smooth- site of lipid synthesis (no ribosomes)
Rough- site of protein synthesis (coated in ribosomes)
Organelle that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion or use within the cell.
Vesicles containing enzymes that digest cellular waste and foreign material.
A phospholipid bilayer that controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
A rigid layer outside the cell membrane in plants, fungi, and some prokaryotes providing structural support.
Organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.
Gel-like substance inside the cell where organelles are suspended and many metabolic reactions occur.
Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles; eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and organelles.
Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller (1-10 µm) than eukaryotic cells (10-100 µm).
Contains an -OH group; polar and hydrophilic, found in serine and threonine.
Contains -COOH group; acidic and negatively charged at physiological pH.
Contains -NH2 group; basic and positively charged at physiological pH.
Contains -SH group; can form disulfide bonds important for protein structure.
Contains -PO4 group; negatively charged and involved in energy transfer.
Contains -CH3 group; nonpolar and hydrophobic, affects gene expression.
Contains C=O group; found in aldehydes and ketones, polar and reactive.
