Document Summary
Actin binding protein large and disparate group of proteins that bind to the cytoskeletal protein actin, having diverse effects on actin filaments (microfilaments) which include bundling of filaments into fibers and serving of filaments into actin subunits. Autotrophs organism able to utilize carbon dioxide as its sole source of carbon,a nd inorganic sources of nitrogen and other elements as its sole starting materials for biosynthesis. Contractile vacuole small spherical vesicle found in cytoplasm of many freshwater protozoans, by which. Tube-like structure leading from mouth into cell interior in certain protozoans (also gullet. The anus of a unicellular organism, as certain protozoans. Cytostome a specialized region acting as a mouth of a unicellular organism, as in some protozoans. Ectoplasm external layer of cytoplasm in a cell, next to the cell membrane and usually clear and non-granular. Endocytosis process by which eukaryotic cells take up extracellular material by invagination of the plasma membrane to form vesicles enclosing the external material.
