Endomembrane
This and That

Making Energy
100

This central part of a cell is the start of the endomembrane system, moving things from the nucleus to the ER.

Nuclear envelope

100

In alcohol fermentation, glucose is converted into pyruvate and ultimately into this...

Ethanol

100

A partner to myosin, this microfilament helps our muscles contract.

Actin

100

These help nearby cells either join together or stay separated.

Intercellular junctions

100

Besides glycolysis, its the other part of cellular respiration where substrate-level phosphorylation takes place.

Citric acid cycle

200

This endomembrane component helps to detoxify poisons.

Smooth ER

200

This reaction breaks down larger molecules into smaller molecules, thus releasing energy.

Catabolic reaction

200

Its a fiber network extending thorough the entire cytoplasm.

Cytoskeleton

200

Animals use these to link adjoining cells tightly together.

Tight junction

200

An anaerobe that can survive with our without oxygen.

Facultative anaerobe

300

This organelle modifies and packages proteins it receives from the ER.

Golgi apparatus

300

Its a protein that lowers activation energy to make reactions happen easier.

Enzyme

300

Its not too big and not too small, but is the most permanent part of the cytoskeleton.

Intermediate filament

300

Animals use these to give nearby cells strength by binding them with intermediate filaments.

Desmosome

300

In chemiosmosis, what substance in the extracellular fluid drives the ATP synthase to create ATP?

The H+ gradient

400

This organelle moves materials from the ER to the Golgi and from the Golgi to the extracellular space.

Vesicle

400

This molecule can bind to the active site of an enzyme and block the substrate from reaching it.

Competitive inhibitor

400

This cytoskeletal element is important in moving chromosomes during cell division.

Microtubule

400

If you are a plant you are happy to let this junction allow your cytoplasm to connect to an adjacent cytoplasm.

Plasmadesmata

400

These molecules help move electrons around in the electron transport chain.

NADH and FADH2

500

This part of the endomembrane system uses strong enzymes to destroy pathogens via phagocytosis.

Lysosome

500

Proteins lose their function, including acting as an enzyme, if this happens to them.

Denature

500

Flagella and cilia are made of this cytoskeletal element.

Microtubules

500

A connexon opens and closes in this junction to allow intercell communication.

Gap junction

500

The electron transport chain is vital to making ATP. This poison blocks the final protein in the electron transport chain, and is thus deadly.
