Photosynthesis
the energy organelle in plants where light is captured
chloroplast
the cell that releases molecules for the receiving cell
Signaling cell
collection of cells that work together to perform a specific function
tissue
the top strand during DNA replication
lagging strand
the part of the electron transport chain where light is first absorbed
photosystem II
intracellular receptors
general category of adhesion molecules involving cell-cell connection
cadherin
the first phase in mitosis in which chromosomes condense and centrosomes move to the poles
prophase
the electron acceptor at the end of the electron transport chain
NADPH
cell signaling involving long-distance travel through the circulatory system
endocrine singnaling
cadherin connecting a different cell to the intermediate filaments
desmosome
the short pieces on the lagging strand
Okazaki fragments
the catalyst for the addition of carbon dioxide into the Calvin cycle
Rubisco
the signaling and responding cell are the same cell
autocrine signaling
found in between the cell and extracellular matrix to provide flexibility and scaffolding
basal lamina
enzyme that brings the fragments of the lagging strand together
DNA Ligase
the peripheral protein in the electron transport chain that brings the electron to photosystem I
Plastocyanin
an example of paracrine signaling
growth factors
these aggregate to form microtubules
tubulin
the enzyme that helps get the DNA in a linear form for unwinding
topoisomerase II
