Nuclearized
The jelly-like liquid in the nucleus of a cell that holds the contents of the cell.
What is the nucleoplasm?
This network of thin tubes and filaments criss-cross the cytosol and help give shape to the cell.
What is the cytoskeleton?
The structure in the cell that functions as an intracellular highway, where molecules move from one part of the cell to another.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum (or ER)?
This powers most of the cell's reactions in the mitochondria.
What is ATP?
This structure in the cell gives "address labels" to proteins to send them to the correct location in the cell.
What is the golgi apparatus?
The substance that forms the double layer of the membrane around the nucleus.
What is a phospholipid?
These proteins exist on one side of the phospholipid bilayer and are not embedded in it.
What are peripheral proteins?
Smooth ER is found in these types of locations in the human body.
What is the liver and kidneys?
The mitochondria has its own unique substance that allows it to reproduce by division.
What is mitochondrial DNA?
Drug or alcohol abuse causes cells to produce this kind of ER that results in a greater tolerance for the drug.
What is smooth ER?
The substance in the center of the nucleus that contains the genetic information of the cell.
What is DNA?
These are short filaments that exist abundantly in our inner ears and help the ears detect sounds.
What is cilia?
Rough ER is found most commonly in this kind of body organs.
What are digestive organs?
The primary purpose of the mitochondria is to produce this for the cell.
What is energy?
These types of vesicles, when in the liver, break down glycogen and release glucose into the bloodstream.
What are lysosomes?
The substance that forms the double layer of the membrane around the nucleus.
What is a phospholipid?
Plants have an additional structure outside the cell membrane that animal cells do not have.
What is a cell wall?
Rough ER is called that because it is covered with particular organelles that are lacking in smooth ER.
What are ribosomes?
These kinds of cells have a high concentration of mitochondria.
What are muscles?
These small, spherical organelles that are responsible for building protein do not have an external membrane.
What are ribosomes?
The long, thin structures of DNA that is in the nucleus when the cell is not about to divide.
What is chromatin?
Microtubules of the cytoskeleton radiate out from this central point near the nucleus.
What is the centrosome?
The system of membranous tubes and sacks that make up the Endoplasmic Reticulum.
What are cisternae?
The inner membrane of the mitochondria whose many folds contain proteins that carry out energy harvesting reactions.
What are cristae?
This vesicle engulfs materials to take to the lysosomes to digest.
What are endosomes?
