BIO 151 Lecture Notes - Spindle Apparatus, Nuclear Membrane, Golgi Apparatus
Document Summary
If there were no ribosomes, there would be no enzymes, hormones, membrane channels, cytoskeleton and other proteins synthesized within cells: upon death, active transport cannot occur because the mitochondria cannot synthesize. Chromatin: loosely called fibers containing protein and dna within nucleus. Mitochondrion: location of atp production for cellular energy. Ribosome: small rna-containing particles for the synthesis of proteins. Vesicle: membranous sac formed by the pinching off of pieces of plasma membrane. Nucleolus: dense body of rna and protein within the nucleus. Microtubule: part of the cytoskeleton involved in cellular movement. Endoplasmic reticulum: composed of membrane-bound canals for tubular transport throughout the cytoplasm. Cytoplasm: occupies space between plasma membrane and nucleus. Golgi apparatus (complex): flattened, membranous sacs that modify and package a secretion. Lysosome: membranous sac that contains digestive enzymes. Nuclear envelope: separates nuclear contents from cytoplasm. Examples of diffusion: a fresh potato is peeled, weighed and soaked in a strong salt solution.
